More details Switch 2
We knew from the trailer of the teaser for Switching 2 This new Nintendo equipment will be more and will have a new approach to removable joys. The new Joy-Con 2 has a new button C, Mouse control And a built -in gyroscope for tilt control. The console has a built -in microphone to support a new function called Game Chat, which will allow you to communicate with friends in the game. The device is really slightly larger, with a 7.9-inch LCD screen, which maintains the update speed of 120 Hz, HDR and 1080p resolution.
When you are moored, you can play 4K on your TV, and Nintendo says that this has improved the internal dynamics of the consoles. The new dock also has a built -in fan to save the console and help maintain performance during long gaming sessions. Switch 2 has double USB-C ports for charging, and the basic storage amount increased to 256 GB. Switch 2 storage can be expanded as the previous model, but it will only work with the new Microsd Express -cards.
Tariffs and Nintendo Switch 2
During its last Direct presentation In early April, Nintendo demonstrated more Switch 2 than when it was before. This included the disclosure of the opening date of the preliminary order on April 9, in addition to the initial starting price for $ 450. Soon after, President Trump announced wide tariffs for China and other countries, prompting Nintendo to postpone preliminary orders in the USA and Canada.
In cancellation, President Trump then announced 90-day pause for steep “mutual” tariffs Having affected 75 countries, but also announced that the imposed on China would grow even further (currently this 245 percent for this country).
Now we know that the initial price of $ 450 for Switch 2 will remain the same in the USA and Canada, but, based on his official statement, it seems that Nintendo leaves the door open for a potential future increase in prices.
We also know that Nintendo began to move some of its Switch production consoles to Vietnam In 2019. The mutual tariff for Vietnam was supposed to amount to 46 percent, but at the moment, apparently, in favor of a 10 percent mutual tariff, which currently operates during the 90-day pause.
It was assumed that Nintendo will increase the production of Switch 2 consoles in Vietnam so that it can remain in the schedule, even if it Sells the console with a loss In the short term. It seems that the company will have to seriously increase production in order to keep up with Switch 2 demands: According to Nintendo, 2.2 million people entered the preliminary order only in Japan, which is a much larger number of devices than expected that in this region it will be delivered to this region on the day of launch.
