The wait is finally over. After the complete chaos of the past couple of weeks in regard to tariffs in the United States, Nintendo has announced that retail pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 (console, games, accessories), will kick off on April 24th in the United States and Canada.
Nintendo also confirmed that the prices of the console itself (including the Mario Kart World bundle) and the games remain unchanged (at least, at launch). Unfortunately, the prices of accessories is going slightly up due to “changes in market condition.”
