The Nintendo Switch 2 and other game consoles have been affected by an American rate of 145% on imported goods made in China.
It is according to an internal evaluation note by an “main supplier of apple and nintendo” seen by Nikkei Asia, who said that the consoles made in China, as the highly anticipated Switch 2, are likely to be affected by the current trade war.
Although the Trump administration has recently announced that certain technological products will be exempt from “reciprocal” prices, US President Donald Trump has now confirmed (via BBC), this will not be the case and that Chinese manufacturing smartphones and other electronics will be transferred to a “bucket” of different withdrawal.
This means that any electronics made in China, such as certain Nintendo Switch 2 units, will be assigned and will cost more.
Following the long -term SWITCH 2 and the prices imposed, Nintendo announced that the American pre -orders had been delayed from its original date of April 9 “in order to assess the potential impact of progressive prices and market conditions”.
Since then, Canada’s pre -orders have also been delayed, but Nintendo has confirmed that the console’s launch date is unchanged and will soon provide us and Canadian buyers a new pre -order date.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is officially launched on June 5, 2025 and will cost $ 449.99 / £ 395.99 or $ 499.99 / 429.99 £ for a Mario Kart World pack. Pre-orders are now live in the United Kingdom.
