Good morning! Preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 officially went live yesterday, but it’s proving extremely difficult for gamers around the world to secure a preorder of this next-gen console. This is due to low stock from UK retailers (some still waiting for stock to officially arrive), and other factors including political import tariffs in the US causing confusion.
The most recent update is that Trump has paused the Import tariffs for 90 days in most countries, which could handily take us into the US Switch 2 launch day with no issues.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct event on April 2nd left plenty of gamers excited for what’s to come, so it’s frustrating for those who can’t preorder the console on the day Nintendo promised. It looks like the console’s release date of June 5 is still set in stone for now, but this could easily change (fingers crossed things start running smoothly).
