Nintendo just changed plans for Switch 2 pre-orders right after showing off the new console. The company told everyone that pre-orders would not start on April 9 because they need to check how tariffs might affect prices. They said the release date stays the same: June 5, 2025. Nintendo promised to tell people later when pre-orders would open. Most experts believe the company wants to change the prices they announced last week.
The standard Switch 2 package was going to cost $449.99, with a special Mario Kart World Pack priced at $499.99. These prices might increase, along with game and controller costs. Canadian gamers first thought this delay would not affect them. They expected to pay CA$629.99 for the basic console or CA$699.99 for the Mario Kart bundle starting April 9. But, Nintendo of Canada has changed those plans.
Nintendo of Canada made a statement explaining that they canceled the April 9 pre-orders to match whatever new date the US decides. They kept the June 5 launch date but will share new pre-order information later. MobileSyrup reported this news and added updates from major stores. Both Walmart and GameStop in Canada posted messages confirming the delay. All stores repeated the same disappointing information from Nintendo Canada.
