Nintendo today announced its Switch 2 pre-orders will kick off in Canada and the U.S. on April 24, 2025. This new date comes after the original pre-order date was delayed due to U.S. tariffs.
Today we also found out the official MSRP pricing for Switch 2 games in Canada, in particular premium titles made by Nintendo.
With Mario Kart World priced at $79.99 USD, many including us thought it would cost $112 CAD after exchange rates. Well, Nintendo has priced Mario Kart World at $109.99 in Canada, which is pretty much on par with current exchange rates.
For Donkey Kong Bonanza, it’s priced at $99.99 CAD. Both prices are definitely on the premium side for games coming from Nintendo.
The good news is original pricing for the Nintendo Switch 2 console remains at $629.99 CAD and the Mario Kart World Bundle stays at $699.99 CAD too. Both prices are still pretty high according to Nintendo fans.
Again, here’s the full list of MSRP pricing for the Nintendo Switch 2, premium games and accessories in Canada:
Nintendo was unsure how U.S. tariffs on nations worldwide would affect its production, but for now it seems they won’t be impacted negatively as originally thought. Are you going to jump on the Nintendo Switch 2?

After what happened to 3DS back in 2011, I would advise everyone not to pre-order.
