Nintendo has delayed the start of pre-orders for its Switch 2 gaming device in the United States.

Pre-orders were originally set for Apr. 9 but have been postponed due to concerns over potential tariff impacts and current market conditions.

The launch date for the Switch 2 remains unchanged and is still scheduled for June 5, according to a statement from Nintendo.

This decision comes amid ongoing trade tensions, as US government tariffs could affect the pricing of consumer products, including gaming devices.
