Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser announced that the company did not account for potential U.S. tariffs while setting the price for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, which is set to launch on June 5 at $450. Following President Trump's tariff announcement, U.S. consumers will be unable to preorder the console on April 9 until Nintendo resolves the tariff implications. The tariffs affect parts manufactured in China, Vietnam, and Cambodia, prompting Nintendo to diversify its production locations. Bowser confirmed efforts to reduce reliance on Chinese manufacturing.
