"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," the statement read. "Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged."

After a reveal that was light on details, Nintendo has finally announced key information about the Switch 2: most notably, when it will launch. The Switch 2 will be available on June 5th, priced starting at $449.99. A separate bundle with the new Mario Kart World game will also be available for $499.99.
