How Trump's tariffs could affect the Switch 2 � and the rest of the games industry

Update, April 4, 2025: As a result of the tariffs, Nintendo has delayed US pre-orders for the Switch 2 from its original April 9 date until a later point. The launch date of June 5 will not change. Original story, April 4, 2025: Analysts and other industry figures have weighed in on the potential impact of US President Donald Trump's tariffs, including the upcoming launch of the Nintendo Switch 2.

"Nintendo most likely ran simulations to get to a price that would make them tariff-proof as much as possible" Read more
