Original story:
Nintendo has announced that the new U.S. pre-order date for the Nintendo Switch 2 will be April 24. Pre-orders were initially scheduled for April 9 before Nintendo delayed this due to the changing economic environment caused by the United States’ tariffs. The company also details where prices for the console and its accessories now stand.
Nintendo’s website confirms the console prices will remain unchanged. The Switch 2 still retails at $449.99 standalone and $499.99 for the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle. The prices for both the physical and digital versions of Mario Kart World ($79.99) and Donkey Kong Bananza ($69.99) also remain the same.
However, Nintendo states Switch 2 accessories will have “price adjustments” from their previously announced retail prices. Nintendo cites “changes in market conditions” for the changes, and states that future adjustments to Nintendo products are also possible based on the changing market.
