Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order launch rescheduled for late April in the US

Nintendo has announced an updated date for Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders in the United States. Originally scheduled for April 9, but delayed by news of tariffs, U.S. pre-orders will now begin on April 24.

The company announced Friday that the console’s price will remain the same as originally announced — $449.99, with a $499.99 version that includes Mario Kart World. Pricing for both physical and digital versions of Mario Kart World ($79.99) and Donkey Kong Bananza ($69.99) will also remain unchanged.

However, per Nintendo’s statement, “Nintendo Switch 2 accessories will experience price adjustments from those announced on April 2 due to changes in market conditions. Other adjustments to the price of any Nintendo product are also possible in the future depending on market conditions.”

On Nintendo’s website, the company lists the new suggested retail prices for the Switch 2 and its many accessories:

Friday’s update makes slight increases to the prices for Switch 2 accessories. For example, the Joy-Con 2 controllers were originally priced at $89.99, the Charging Grip at $34.99, the strap at $12.99, the wheel at $19.99, the camera at $49.99, and the dock set at $109.99. In sum, accessory prices have each been increased by a range of $5-$10.
