Nintendo has now delayed the start date for pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 in Canada in order to align with the timing of pre-orders in the US.
"Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in Canada will not start on April 9, 2025 in order to align with the timing of pre-orders to be determined in the US," reads the statement from Nintendo.
"Nintendo will provide updated information at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged."
Following the announcement of the Trump tariffs last week, Nintendo delayed the pre-order start date for the Nintendo Switch 2 in the US due to the potential impact tariffs.
This is likely being done to stop people in the US from pre-ordering the Canadian version of the Switch 2.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will launch on Thursday, June 5 for $449.99 USD / $629.99 CAD / £395.99 / €469.99 / 49,800 yen in the US. A Mario Kart World Bundle will also be available for $499.99 USD / $699.99 / £429.99 / €509.99 / 53,980 yen. However, it is possible the price could increase due to the Trump tariffs.

As unpopular as this comment is, it's really not fair that the whims of one man can effect so many. Case and point are the Trillions of dollars that were stolen out of the 401ks of workers last week.
"Trump 1, CaptainExplosion 0." Sure, it's a meaningless poke at the irony of the situation with someone who seems to have a personal (and obviously one-sided) rivalry going, but it's silly that it would be deleted when far worse is allowed all the time. I don't really care about the comment being removed but I'm definitely going to mock someone wanting to cancel it simply because of their own bias. More importantly, it really is kind of amusing to imagine Trump doing all of this to spite CaptainExplosion.
You made it sound like a personal attack.
