Nintendo Switch 2 US price didn’t account for any tariffs as Nintendo confirms it’s ‘assessing’ new pricing
The Nintendo Switch 2 price reveal of $450 took many for a loop last week. Announced after an hour-long Nintendo Direct that showed off specs, new games and features like GameChat, many believed the $450 pricetag was a bit steep, especially when paired with the price of first-party game releases.
Following the Direct, Nintendo announced an unspecified delay for Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders in the United States due to new tariffs. With products coming out of Japan slapped with a 24% tariff rate, Vietnam hit with a 46% tariff rate and China hit with a 54% tariff rate, the price of Switch 2 could be hugely affected for US gamers.

So, if they get hit with the Japanese tariff the new Switch will cost $558 and if it gets the Chinese tariff it's a whopping $693 in USA. And that's just the best case scenario since drumpf is signing new tariffs day in day out. gg no re
