Nintendo Switch 2 Availability
Nintendo’s Switch 2 is launching globally on June 5, 2025, but pre-orders in the U.S. and Canada have been delayed due to new tariffs introduced by President Trump. While UK customers can already pre-order, North American buyers must wait as Nintendo assesses the impact of evolving trade policies. The originally planned April 9 pre-order date was postponed, and the starting price of $450 may change depending on tariff-related costs. Nintendo may ramp up production in Vietnam to offset higher tariffs from China and meet the U.S. launch timeline.
The console features a 7.9-inch 1080p LCD screen with 120Hz refresh rate, HDR support, and 4K output when docked. Joy-Con 2 controllers include new features like a C button, gyroscope, and mouse controls, and the console has a built-in mic for Game Chat. Base storage is 256GB, expandable via new microSD Express cards, and the system includes dual USB-C ports and improved speakers. Accessories such as the $80 Pro Controller and $90 Joy-Con 2 set will be sold separately, though final prices may vary due to the uncertain tariff situation.
