Canadian Switch 2 early orders, which were originally ready live on April 9 before Nintendo announced a last minute delay, according to reports, will now start next week.
Nintendo crashed into the brakes last Tuesday, just one day before the early orders of Canadian Switch 2 began, saying that he was making the movement “to align with the time of early orders to determine in the United States.” That followed the unprecedented decision of the company to indefinitely delay the change in advance orders in the United States, while the company sought to “evaluate the potential impact” of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, radical commercial tariffs.
Now, however, Billbill-Kun, which has a strong track record when it comes to retail leaks, says that the early orders of Canadian Switch 2 will begin soon. “From what I can see through some Canadian retailers,” they wrote on social networks, “Nintendo Switch 2 consoles and anticipated orders of the console and package should begin as of April 23, 2025. Date subject to change. I cannot confirm if it is the same for us.”
The head of Nintendo of America, Doug Bowser, previously admitted the commercial tariffs of the US administration, which had greatly impacted some of the company’s key manufacturing places worldwide, were a “challenge” and “something that we will have to address.” And despite a temporary pause in some tariffs since then, the situation has remained uncertain in the midst of confused messages around possible electronic exceptions.
A prominent analysis firm has said that Nintendo will stay with its launch price of $ 450 previously announced for Switch 2 in the USA. And it’s not just Nintendo. Earlier this month, the American commercial group the Entertainment Software Association said that tariffs “will have a real and harmful impact” on the video game industry as a whole.
