Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Delayed Amid Tariff Uncertainty
The highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is facing delays in pre-orders due to uncertainties related to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Scheduled to launch on June 5 at a price of $449.99, the console is seeing additional scrutiny as Nintendo assesses the potential impact of these tariffs. Despite excitement surrounding the new device, which promises enhanced features such as NVIDIA AI-powered DLSS and 4K gaming, concerns are mounting about its value and the implications for consumers and retailers. With a lower-priced version set to debut in Japan, analysts suggest the price strategy is a balancing act amid these challenges. Fans are eager to explore new titles like Mario Kart World, but some gamers express disappointment, feeling that the upgrade may not justify its cost.
