Nintendo has recently provided fans with new information regarding its highly anticipated console, the Nintendo Switch 2. Initially, pre-orders were slated to commence on April 9, 2025. However, this was postponed for customers in the United States due to concerns over tariffs implemented by the Trump Administration that could impact the pricing and availability of the device.
New Pre-Order Date Announced
After careful consideration, Nintendo has set a new pre-order date for U. S.customers, which will be available starting April 24, 2025. This announcement brings some clarity to eager fans ahead of the scheduled release on June 5, 2025.
