Nintendo has confirmed that the pre-sale of the Nintendo Switch 2 in Canada will be postponed, and the booking plan originally scheduled to start on April 9 is temporarily suspended.

Nintendo Canada Branch issued a statement to MobileSyrup, saying: "In order to keep pace with the pre-sale time that has not been determined in the United States, the pre-sale of Switch2 in Canada will not be launched as originally planned on April 9, 2025. The specific date will be announced through subsequent announcements, and the console will still be officially released on June 5, 2025 as planned."

Last week, Nintendo announced the postponement of pre-sales in the United States due to "the impact of tariff policies and changes in the market environment need to be evaluated", but it was still emphasized at the time that Canada's pre-sales will start as planned on April 9.This arrangement has also changed now.

On April 2, Nintendo officially announced the Switch2 console specifications, first-time game lineup, June 5 release date and $629 price through a face-to-face meeting and global media preview event.But a few hours later, U.S. President Trump announced that tariffs were imposed on many countries, including China and Vietnam - these two countries are the main production bases of Nintendo hardware.This move has sparked speculation in the industry about Nintendo's response strategy.

At present, the pre-sale restart time of the United States and Canada has not yet been clarified, and the official pricing of games and accessories is also to be announced.Nintendo has confirmed that new consoles and games will adopt a "differentiated pricing strategy", such as Mario Kart World priced at $79.99, while Donkey Kong Carnival is $69.99.
