After finally showcasing the Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo delayed pre-orders of the new console in the United States due to the new tariffs imposed in the country.
Now, the company has revealed when pre-orders will go live in the U.S. as well as price increases for most of the Switch 2’s accessory lineup.
Pre-orders are now set to begin next Thursday, April 24 for the hybrid system.
Nintendo states that the price of the Switch 2 will remain the same in the U.S. at $450 USD as well as the games previously announced like Mario Kart World at $80 and Donkey Kong Bananza at $70.
There will be price increases to most of the Switch 2’s accessory lineup, however, due to “changes in market conditions.”
Most of the accessories are going to be around $5 more expensive than originally announced.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller is now $85 instead of $80 while the Joy-Con 2 pair will be $95 instead of $90.
That also goes for things like the charging grip, wheel set, camera, carrying case, AC adapter and the Nintendo Switch 2 Dock Set is $10 more now at $120.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is still set to hit store shelves on June 5 along with Street Fighter 6 on the same day.
You can find the full breakdown of prices below and on the Nintendo website.
Retail pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 will begin on April 24, 2025. At launch, the price for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will remain as announced on April 2 at $449.99, and the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle will remain as announced at $499.99. Pricing for both physical and digital versions of Mario Kart World ($79.99) and Donkey Kong Bananza ($69.99) will also remain unchanged at launch.
However, 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.
We apologize for the retail pre-order delay, and hope this reduces some of the uncertainty our customers may be experiencing. We thank our customers for their patience, and we share their excitement to experience Nintendo Switch 2 starting June 5, 2025.
