After facing delays in pre-orders in the USA and Canada due to US tariffs, it seems that gamers in these regions may finally have the opportunity to secure a Nintendo Switch 2. According to a reliable video game retail leaker, Canadian gamers can expect to start ordering the new console from select retailers on April 23. American pre-orders, on the other hand, may begin on either April 21 or April 30, depending on the retailer.
The leaker also mentioned that pre-orders for Switch 2 accessories in the USA could start on April 30 from select retailers. While the information provided by the leaker has been accurate in the past, it is advisable to wait for official confirmation before making any decisions. If true, this news will be welcomed by those eager to get their hands on the latest Nintendo console.
One aspect that remains uncertain, especially for American buyers, is the retail price of the Nintendo Switch 2. With increased tariffs affecting imported products, it is likely that the prices will be higher than before. Nintendo of America CEO Doug Bowser has stated that tariffs did not impact the initial $499 price point of the Switch 2, suggesting that buyers may need to budget for a higher cost.
