On the same day Nintendo revealed the Switch 2, President Donald Trump also unveiled his list of tariffs on countries the U.S. trades with. This led Nintendo to delay preorders in the U.S., although it did make them available a short time later.

Retro fans will appreciate that the Nintendo Switch 2 is getting a selection of GameCube games, with classics like The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Soul Calibur II, and F-Zero GX available to download at launch, and more to come. Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi’s Mansion, and Pokemon Colosseum were all spotted in the trailer.

Furukawa said that Nintendo's goal is make the Switch 2 very popular. "The launch of Switch 2 and the early spread of the hardware are our top priorities," he said. With that will come an increase in marketing expenses, which Nintendo expects to make by selling more software (games).
