At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo delays the launch of the Switch 2 worldwide until there’s some sort of stability in the markets.
things are going to get interesting aren’t they?
at this point, a switch 2 release delay might cause the recession
>Nintendo’s delay in bringing its new console to China isn’t the biggest surprise, considering that last November, the company confirmed it would be shutting down online services, including the eShop, in China by 2026.
>While some of the world’s biggest games come from Chinese developers like Genshin Impact or the recent free-to-play success, Marvel Rivals, strict regulations around video games in the region still challenge releasing a game in China and finding success in the country.
They were gonna release it in China at launch?
Will probably get delayed worldwide until the orange 🍊 gets his act together.
Is part of the manufacturing process made in the US?
I don’t get it, why would China or Japan put tariffs on each other?
I have been involuntarily, indefinitely delayed from buying this. It’s gonna get worse before it gets worse.
US next
Jesus Christ, how hard is it to just read the article before assuming it’s tariffs?
>According to the report, this indefinite delay comes from Nintendo waiting to see what demand exists for the Switch 2 before its launch in China.
This is not unlike the original Nintendo Switch coming to China. Officially, the original Nintendo Switch arrived in China in 2019, two years after the console was available worldwide. Currently, the Nintendo Switch is sold in China through a collaboration with Tencent, who declined to comment to Nikkei when asked if they would also distribute the Nintendo Switch 2 in the region.
For those too lazy to read, this has nothing to do with the tariffs. Nintendo wants to see how viable the console would be in China before releasing there. The switch 1 released in China 2 years later as well.
Fucking hell. This launche is super cursed …
This is kinda bullshit from Nintendo’s part. They already have their projected numbers for global release sales, they’re just trying to squeeze more money out of the news cycle.
Nintendo really is in a tough spot right now. The global markets are too volatile, they are getting flak due to the pricing of a game and also have to figure out how to combat the potential of scalpers draining the stock of available Switch 2 upon release.
Nintendo doesn’t like not having final say on their products, and China is not a great place to try and maintain control over something you are selling.
I think it was as of last year they wanted to start shutting down NSO in china
I mean yea this shouldn’t be a shock to anyone and has nothing to do with tariffs or anything similar and everything to do with the CCPs grip on gaming.
There just delaying so they can get there invoices out to the scalpers first.
I always found Nintendo products too expensive anyway.
Finally we have defeated the Chinese.
Good. No one cares about the Chinese governments boner for censoring video games. They can do without
