Nintendo confirmed on Peter Baumgartnerits website today that Switch 2 pre-orders in the U.S. will officially start on April 24, two weeks after the originally scheduled April 9 start date.
Two weeks ago, Nintendo showed off the Switch 2. Just a few days later, pre-orders in the U.S. were shut down because of Trump's tariffs.
That's all over, for now, anyway. Besides the pre-order announcement, the biggest news here is that the console's price, after weeks of speculation, is not changing. At this time, the Switch 2 will launch in the U.S. for the original listed price of $449.99, with a Mario Kart Worldbundle going for $499.99.
With the chaotic situation surrounding U.S. tariffs in recent weeks, it was reasonable to expect a price bump on the console itself, but Nintendo was able to find a way to avoid that. However, not everything is so rosy. To compensate for not increasing the console's price, Nintendo has increased the prices of several accessories, but only by $5 to $10 per product, as far as I can tell. Some of the new prices include:
Switch 2 Pro Controller: $84.99
Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 set: $94.99
Switch 2 camera: $54.99
Switch 2 dock set: $119.99
Those are all big prices for video game accessories, but given everything we've been hearing about tariff price impacts over the past few weeks, it's almost a pleasant surprise that they aren't higher. Of course, there's every possibility these prices fluctuate over time (and not always in the right direction), so keep an eye out. Regardless, you now know when you can finallylock down a Switch 2.
