Vietnam, where around a third of Switch 2 units are manufactured, was originally going to be hit by a 46% increase in tariffs, which caused Nintendo to delay pre-orders in both the US and Canada. Since then, President Trump has decided to pause tariffs at a lower rate on most countries for 90 days, except China.

According to KeyBanc senior research analyst John Vinh, Intel "has won the GPU gaming socket for the Nintendo Switch 3."

Nintendo has announced a June 5 launch date and $449.99 price tag for its latest gaming console, the Switch 2, which will introduce interactive chat and screenshare functions to connect gamers.

The successor to Nintendo's popular Switch will drop this summer, promising easier ways to connect, share and play with friends. Here's what to know.

According a statement Nintendo provided to Engadget: "Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged."
