Breaking: Nintendo is postponing Switch 2 pre-orders from April 9th due to the current tariff situation.

"Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged." I would not be surprised if this generation gets extended a year or two depending on how bad things really get for the market. According to Nintendo's own support, the Switch 2 Enhanced Editions were false advertising during the Direct. After trying to nail them down for an answer, they confirmed to one of our followers it's just Switch 1 cards with a code for the upgrade. No reason to buy these, then. According to a Nintendo UK Support Rep, Switch 2 Editions of physical games like Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Metroid Prime 4 contain a download code for the upgrade pack along with a Switch 1 version cart of the game While it was rumored thanks to some fine print on Nintendo’s website, the Big N officially confirmed the existing of “Switch 2 Edition” games during the latest Nintendo Direct. For those who don’t know, Switch 2 Edition games are Switch 1 titles that are seeing release on Switch 2. This includes titles like Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and Metroid Prime 4 Beyond.

If you already own any of those games (minus MP4B, obviously) for the Switch 1, you can simply purchase the upgrade pack digitally to get the new content and enhancements available exclusively to Switch 2 owners. Anyone who doesn’t have a Switch or one of these games in particular will be able to buy a complete “Switch 2 Edition” digitally or physically.

For those going the physical route, one question has been popping up. When you buy that physical game box, what exactly is inside? Do physical Switch 2 Edition games include everything on a game card, or is there another setup? We might have some insight on this, thanks to a Nintendo UK support rep.

I don’t think we really need another leap yet, so it wouldn’t be detrimental. Nintendo fans won't have to wait much longer to get their hands on the Switch 2. The successor to one of the best-selling video game consoles of all time is slated to release June 5, Nintendo announced during its hour-long livestream that fully lifted the veil on the Switch 2. You will have to wait a bit longer than expected to preorder the Nintendo Switch 2, though. After initially announcing a preorder date of April 9, Nintendo has delayed preorders in the US while it reviews new tariffs imposed by the Trump Administration.

When preorders do eventually go live, the Switch 2 will be available on its own or in a bundle with Mario Kart World. It's unclear if the console and/or the bundle will receive price increases. Nintendo originally announced the console would cost $450 on its own and $500 with Mario Kart World in the United States.

Here is the full statement Nintendo sent GameSpot on April 4:

"Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged."

Major retailers are starting to create store pages for the Switch 2 system as well as first-party accessories and games. GameSpot's Nintendo Switch 2 preorder guide will continue to evolve as more product listings pop up. In addition to the two Switch 2 console options, you'll find all of the first-party accessories along with pricing details and preorder availability for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 games arriving on launch day and beyond.

Been a gamer for over 40 years. I'm a collector and it has been a hobby i have enjoyed. Over the past several years, it has been slowly ruined by console companies and developers. The whole move to digital and not owning my library of titles is not something I will support. The only way to hit these companies and show them this is not acceptable is to not buy their products. Too bad there is not enough of us to make a change. The only way to correct this problem is not buy into it.

No physical means greed. Nintendo wants to keep their games full price. Don't be surprised if they never discount games again.

Digital games disguised as physical games. Rent for an unknown time vs property. A rented item cannot be sold.

[steelcurtain]

Sounds like Nintendo needs to get humbled again 🫠

[overleveledgames]

Sad that people will just buy the console and the games on impulse. If we all genuinely boycotted this strange model, Nintendo would change it. Hold the line, people.

i was expecting to hear "system $399 / games $70 or less"
not "system $450 / games $80 & $90"
Absolutely repulsive pricing.

This is how Nintendo operates, they have a success they get greedy, they flop their next console, They get their poop together, they have a success, they get greedy they have a flop rinse repeat ! They are currently in their greedy flop cycle AGAIN !

Ladies And Gentlemen let me present you the Nintendo Wii-U 2 !

[theRealMonkeySoup]

This whole situation is crazy. How did Nintendo manage to kill all the hype for Switch 2 so fast? What is going on? Did EA buy them when nobody was looking? Weird.

[HolofoilKev]

I've already committed to not buying this console. Nintendo is ridiculous

[ricardotaut]

PS2 gets massively succesful -> Sony screws up PS3

Xbox360 gets massively succesful -> Microsoft screws up Xbox One

PS4 gets massively succesful -> Sony screws up PS5

Switch 1 gets massively succesful -> Nintendo screws up Switch 2

So they expect people to pay $90 bucks for a plastic case and some key art without the game actually having a physical cartridge smfh

Nintendo trying to turn into What BMW was trying to do. BMW was trying to make you pay a monthly subscription fee to turn on heated seats. these people.

[emanuelfanelli]

This really is the final nail in the coffin. I absolutely DESPISE and DO NOT want this console anymore

[SG-qbne]

Im definitely not buying the Switch 2 now!

[dustinberthold]

The gaming industry as a whole has priced me out of this hobby as well as the anti-consumer practices/tactics they employ. I am looking forward to exploring new hobbies/interests...

[LoneWolfBK]

Why would it be a download code when they just introduced the physical key cards? So basically they are selling a switch 1 game with a DLC code. Same scummy Nintendo.

You work for 42yrs to have $2m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $20k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

[Rodimusprimerib]
