Nintendo Switch 2: Canada Joins U.S in Preorder Delay

Bad news for folks in Canada who were keen to get their pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 locked in. Nintendo has now confirmed that the new console will be delayed past its original preorder date of 9 April 2025.

The news comes as the world continues to reel from President Trump’s new international tariffs on imports, which were announced last week. The impact of these tariffs may well cause the Japanese company (with a new tariff of 24%) to pass on that extra cost to customers. Though, this is of course to be confirmed by Nintendo in the future.

In a statement to MobileSyrup, Nintendo of Canada commented:

Mario Kart World will be one of the launch titles when Switch 2 launches in June

This has shifted from what was previously expected, despite the news last week pre-orders for Canada were still on track. As this is an ever-evolving situation, though, Nintendo has decided on a more joined-up approach for the North American continent.

Fingers crossed it won’t be too long before Canada and the U.S. can snag their preorders.

Have you seen all the announcements and news from the last week’s relentless Switch 2 info onslaught? There was the full Nintendo Direct reveal, information about no achievement system, the price of “Switch 2 editions” of games, and much more.
