Hey everybody, welcome to Game Breaking News with me, Jeff Grubb, your host from GiantBomb.com.
Thank you for tuning in.
In this episode, we're going to be talking about Tariff Chaos, which is making Nintendo
bulk on Switch 2 pre-orders, at least in the United States.
It's going to be a show.
I don't know if it's a good one.
I got Janichow with me.
Jan, how are you doing?
I'm doing great.
Nothing, nothing.
bad could happen today or yesterday where nothing bad can ever happen to us. Right.
Yeah, that's that's true. As long as you keep smiling, grab everything's going to be fine.
Uh huh. I just want to be stupid and happy, Jan. That's all I need. It's not working.
Yeah, we're going to get into it all. But boy, it is. It's hitting the fan today. It's
really it's gone sideways and it just feels like a hopeless and it feels like it could
get worse in a lot of ways.
Um, you know, and that's just the video games.
Oh boy.
It's going to be a show.
Everybody let's explain what we grab your power gloves, grab your Nintendo
zappers, call your representatives and head to the white house.
Now.
Do something.
Somebody do something.
Go get.
No, you know what?
Actually, let's just send a Paul Reichert after him.
I think that's what we do.
I think we can, we can get him to annoy him just into submission.
I think that's possible.
All right, let's explain what we do here.
Let's just get into it.
Most weekdays, I, Jeff Grubb, will help piece your gaming life back together.
That includes breaking news and maybe even some of our own original reporting.
For all these topics, I'll get the input of a bonafide expert
who will make me look smart.

Hello YouTube.
All right, we have a lot to get into, so let's start the morning mess with Nintendo Switch
2 pre-orders have been delayed due to tariffs.
Release date is still as of now, June 5th.
This is from Steven Petit at GameSpot who got this statement from Nintendo.
Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the US will not start on April 9th, April 9th, 2025.
In order for us to assess the potential impact of tariffs and the evolving market conditions in the United States,
Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5th, 2025 is unchanged.
So there's obviously a lot of sides to this, but just right there, they were originally going to begin pre-orders with retail partners and themselves.
Nintendo was going to do pre-orders through their website beginning on April 9th.
