According to trusted leaker Billbil-kun, Canadian gamers might see Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders start on April 23. The information comes from Canadian retail sources, though it remains unclear if US pre-orders will begin simultaneously.
Pre-orders for the next Nintendo console were originally planned to launch across North America last week. They faced delays first in the United States due to potential tariff impacts. Canadian pre-orders were subsequently postponed to match US timing, suggesting American gamers might also see pre-orders open next week if Canadian dates hold.
The current tariff situation will likely affect the Nintendo Switch 2 price, but exact details remain unknown. An internal memo from a major supplier indicates the console could face significant price increases if Chinese-made game systems continue facing 145% tariffs in the United States. PlayStation 5 prices might also rise in America, following recent price hikes announced for the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
The new Nintendo system is expected to launch this June with various bundle options. Retailers appear ready for pre-sales despite ongoing trade uncertainties that have complicated the release strategy across North American markets.
