Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Complicated by Tariff Challenges
The launch of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 has been significantly affected by tariff threats, with delays in pre-orders observed in both the US and Canada. While analysts predict potential price increases post-tariff, Nintendo has reportedly stockpiled over a million consoles in the US. Amid these uncertainties, the company is poised to unveil the Switch 2 featuring enhanced performance, including NVIDIA AI-powered DLSS and 4K support, with a projected launch date of June 5th. While some fans express excitement about the new titles and improvements, others question whether the upgrade is worth it. As the situation unfolds, Nintendo is working to navigate these tariff implications while delivering a promising gaming experience.
