Canadian gamers eager to reserve the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will need to wait a bit longer, as pre-orders originally slated for April 9 have officially been delayed. Nintendo confirmed the postponement in a statement to CTVNews.ca, citing a need to align with U.S. pre-order timelines, which have also been pushed back.
While the company has not provided a definitive reason or new date, it emphasized that updated details will be shared at a later time. The June 5 release date for the console remains unchanged.
Nintendo declined to comment on whether the delay is linked to recent U.S. tariff discussions. Last week, Reuters reported that the company was reconsidering its U.S. rollout strategy due to potential tariffs and market volatility.
Announced on April 2, the new Switch 2 is expected to retail for $629.99 CAD and will feature interactive chat and screensharing tools aimed at enhancing online gameplay. With uncertainty around pre-order availability on both sides of the border, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates.
