If you were waiting to pre-order a Nintendo Switch 2, you’ll have to wait a little longer.

Originally set to begin on April 9th, the pre-orders in Canada are delayed. The console will cost $629.99 in Canada.

According to Nintendo, the move was made “in order to align with the timing of pre-orders to be determined in the U.S.” When asked whether the delay was related to recently announced U.S. tariffs, the company declined to comment further.

The official launch date is still June 5th.

Publishers Clearing House has filed for bankruptcy.

The company has been around for 72 years. It was initially founded as an alternative to door-to-door magazine subscription sales by offering bulk mail direct marketing, but it was best known for their prize sweepstakes, which became a sensation in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s.

Contrary to popular belief, Publishers Clearing House never worked with Ed McMahon. That was the competitor, American Family Publishers, which was around from 1977 to 1999.
