It was the greatest tragedy that could possibly befall our household, at least according to my 15- and 12-year-old sons: Their plan to pool their savings and preorder the eagerly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 game console was foiled by the Trump administration.

Bloomberg reports the console, which was announced with a $450 price tag, is also expected to see a price hike.

President Donald Trump’s “90-day pause” on high tariffs for many countries could be good news for Nintendo. The shift marks an opportunity for the company to ship more Switch 2 units from Vietnam to the US.

We're still waiting for Nintendo to open Switch 2 preorders in the US, but in the meantime, a handful of games are available to preorder.

I got to spend a day playing all the new games for Nintendo's upcoming $450 Switch 2 and came away with plenty of opinions.
