The console maker says 'very high demand' is likely going to cause some delays
Nintendo has updated its website about pre-ordering a Switch 2 console with a warning that because of “very high demand” it can’t promise it will be able to deliver consoles by the June 5 launch date. It even warned that its pre-order emails might not arrive for some until after the console’s launch. Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders in North America are live! The console became available to pre-order on April 24 at midnight following delays earlier this month due to President Trump ’s tariffs.
On April 24, as spotted by Engadget, Nintendo updated its official website with a warning. According to the console maker, while it is “thrilled” by how many people want a Switch 2, all this demand will likely mean some consoles ordered through Nintendo’s official store won’t ship until after launch. Even worse, Nintendo warns that some people might not even get a chance to place an order on a Switch 2 via an invite e-mail until after June 5, aka the day the console launches. Yikes.
