Analysis based on 9 articles · First reported Apr 18, 2025 · Last updated Apr 18, 2025
The announcement of Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order dates and pricing, particularly the unchanged console price despite tariff concerns, is generally positive for Nintendo. However, increased accessory prices might temper consumer enthusiasm, potentially affecting sales of additional peripherals. The event provides clarity for retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, Oracle Corporation, and Walmart, allowing them to prepare for the launch.
Nintendo has announced that pre-orders for its new console, the Nintendo Switch 2, will begin in the United States on April 24, 2025, with a launch date of June 5. The console's price will remain $449.99, and a bundle with Mario Kart World will be $499.99, consistent with earlier announcements. However, prices for certain Nintendo Switch 2 accessories have been adjusted upwards due to market conditions. The pre-order launch was initially delayed from April 9 as Nintendo assessed the impact of tariffs announced by Donald Trump on countries including China, Vietnam, and Japan. Nintendo has also reportedly allocated most of its Nintendo Switch 2 supply manufactured in Vietnam to United States customers to mitigate tariff effects. Retailers such as Best Buy, GameStop, Oracle Corporation, and Walmart are preparing for the pre-orders.
