We don’t know when Switch 2 reservations will be open in the United States. We also don’t know if this means a price increase or any other similar measures are coming soon. All we know is that Trump basically announced serious tariffs on every country in the world on Wednesday afternoon, and soon after, Nintendo confirmed the April 9 reservation date and the $450 starting price of the Switch 2.
