Nintendo has officially announced the preorder date for the Nintendo Switch 2 after previously delaying it following the console's announcement citing the Trump administration's newly-enacted tariffs and uncertain market conditions.

On April 8th, Nintendo also announced that it would be delaying Switch 2 preorders in Canada “in order to align with the timing of preorders to be determined in the US.” With this news, Canada will be able to preorder the Switch 2 on April 24th as well.

Retail preorder for the Nintendo Switch 2 gaming system will begin on April 24, the company said. Preorders were initially slated for April 9, but Nintendo delayed the date to assess the impact of President Donald Trump's tariffs.
