Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Order Date Announced for Canada, U.S. May Be Next

The Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to be available for pre-order soon in Canada, with the United States likely to follow, according to recent reports.

The Anticipated Arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2

Dear readers, the moment you’ve all been waiting for is here: the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 has been announced. According to official sources from Nintendo, this exciting new console will launch in the United States on June 5. However, the start of pre-orders has been delayed due to tax issues.

Pre-orders in Canada: A Beacon of Hope?

Despite the setback, there is a ray of hope from the North. A reliable source indicates that pre-orders for the console will become available in Canada starting Wednesday, April 23. This marks the first announced pre-order date in North America, suggesting that the American market might soon follow suit.

Rumors About Production Context

The situation in the United States remains uncertain due to ongoing tax issues. Even if Nintendo initiates pre-orders in Canada on April 23, the unstable American market might cause further delays before the company feels secure enough to launch the console in the U.S.

Rumors are swirling that Nintendo is considering relocating its console production outside of China to sidestep these taxes, though no official confirmation has been made. Notably, video game consoles did not receive the temporary tax exemption granted by Trump, meaning the 145% tax on Chinese goods fully impacts the Japanese gaming company.
