Nintendo has now officially postponed Switch 2 publication in an important market. However, this is not the United States due to the Trump tariffs.
On June 5, 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 will be officially available in many regions worldwide, but the Japanese will initially miss an important market with their new hardware. In China, the publication of the Switch 2 has now been postponed.
In view of the global situation, such a step had probably been expected in the United States in the past few days after Donald Trump's customs policy caused plenty of vertebrae around the world - and for prices in the USA itself. Nintendo then initially postponed the pre -orders in the United States, but held on to the release date 5.
In China, on the other hand, it will not happen that way. According to a report by the renowned magazineNikkeiNintendo has now postponed the start of the new console there for an indefinite period. The Japanese first want to explore the demand situation in China before investing the necessary resources for a launch there.
Even the launch of the original switch was not that easy in China. This hardware was initially postponed there until 2019, with which the Switch was only available there two years after the rest of the world. Nintendo also used a partnership with the China giant Tencent.
