Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders will reportedly begin next week in Canada.
According tobillbill-kun,who has a history of posting retail listing information ahead of official announcements, Canadian retailers are preparing to begin pre-orders forNintendo‘s next system.
Pre-orders in Canada for theNintendo Switch 2will reportedly begin on April 23.
Pre-orders in Canada were originally set to begin on April 9, however, on April 8,Nintendo announced this would be delayed.
“Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in Canada will not start on July 15, 2025, to align with the timing of pre-orders to be determined in the U.S.,” Nintendo of Canada said in a statement at the time.
This was following the news thatNintendo had delayed plans to take pre-orders in the USso that the firm could “assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions.”
At the time of writing, pre-order plans for the Nintendo Switch 2 in the US have yet to be announced. In other territories, such as the UK and Europe, pre-orders for the console have been available for almost two weeks.
The catalyst for the delayed pre-orders is US President Donald Trump and his move to impose tariffs on numerous countries, including a sizeable tariff on China, where tech products are often manufactured.
According to many, Trump’s tariffs on China could spell aprice increase for the Nintendo Switch 2.
While iPhones and some computers have been made exempt fromTrump’s sweeping tariffs,video game consoles have not, leading many to question if Nintendo will increase its previously announced US price plan, which would see the console retail for $449.99.
Nintendo bossDoug Bowserhas said that the firm has spent months shipping hundreds of thousands of Nintendo Switch 2 units to the US.
