The successor to Nintendo's popular Switch will drop this summer, promising easier ways to connect, share and play with friends. Here's what to know.

According a statement Nintendo provided to Engadget: "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."

In a surprising development, Nintendo announces that it is delaying the release date of the highly anticipated Switch 2 console in one major country.
