What happened to tariffs were the reason the pre-orders were delayed? I guess that wasn’t true. I’m shocked!
Pre-orders were initially scheduled for April 9. They will now be on April 24. That's a 2 week and 1 day delay because of the tariffs. Nintendo used that time to assess pricing.
While there will be no change in pricing for the Switch 2 itself, accessories for it will see a small increase ('https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/nintendo-maintains-nintendo-switch-2-pricing-retail-pre-orders-to-begin-april-24-in-u-s/'). For example, the Switch 2 Dock Set will be $10 more than before, and many accessories will see a $5 increase (e.g. Switch 2 Camera; Switch 2 Pro Controller; Joy-Con 2 Pair; Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip).
Can you elaborate on this? We have the Switch and I don't think we have any required online service plan.
Nintendo’s website is only allowing people to pre-order if they’ve been subscribed to Nintendo Switch online for 12 months prior to April 2nd. This is to cut down on scalpers ordering from their own website.
The switch 2 does not have any requirement for online service.

They should produce enough so no one would bother having to buy through a scalper in the first place. I don’t quite understand their logic.
Why would they limit taking orders? Wouldn't it be better to take all the orders and have an estimated delivery date (like Apple)?
Nintendo wants true fans to get the Switch 2, not scalpers. The 12 months of paid online service requirement sucks though. That’s kept me from signing up with them.
