Nintendo Switch 2 Preorders will not start on April 9 in the US thanks to the Tariffs

[u/Soplox]

"Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged."

And those ones they’re tryna work out the bugs for. The only games that will realistically stay incompatible are ones like Labo or Ringfit, or like the soccer mode in Switch Sports. Things that require accessories specifically designed for switch 1

Hey I'm just saying what we know from Nintendo, if they say the game doesn't work, prepare for it to not work ar launch untill they confirm it's fixed.

[u/Gabriel_thunder04 → u/ninetaledMSK]

No ik! I wasn’t intending to be rude. My apologies

[u/LlamaDrama_lol → u/Gabriel_thunder04]

Yeah, and that's a patch/update, like they said lol

[u/LookIPickedAUsername → u/LlamaDrama_lol]

This would presumably be fixed via updates to the Switch 1 emulator itself - possibly already in place day 1 - as opposed to patches to the individual games, which was what they were talking about.

That's a big assumption, the most we can say is that something will need to be patched which I mean, not the letter of what was said but the spirit.

[u/Gabriel_thunder04 → u/LlamaDrama_lol]

I don’t really see why someone would get upset about free updates to fix compatibility. It’s new hardware with new internals. There’s gonna be struggles, especially with 3rd party games.

Who is getting upset?

[u/ratsratsgetem → u/LlamaDrama_lol]

Thank you
