Description

Fangamer, a leading distributor of video game merchandise and collector’s editions, has announced a delay in the pre-order launch for the Pizza Tower Collector’s Edition on Nintendo Switch.

The decision comes in response to ongoing uncertainty surrounding tariffs imposed by former President Trump, which have impacted various aspects of international trade and manufacturing, especially within the video game industry. Pizza Tower, the fast-paced platformer developed by Tour De Pizza, has enjoyed wide acclaim for its frenetic gameplay, quirky humor, and creative level design since its initial digital release.

The game’s arrival on Nintendo Switch has been highly anticipated by fans, with the Collector’s Edition set to include exclusive merchandise and physical extras.

However, due to potential cost increases and logistical complications related to tariff changes, Fangamer was prompted to reassess its pre-order schedule. A recent statement on the official Pizza Tower Collector’s Edition product page outlines Fangamer’s position: the company acknowledged that, "due to the current uncertainty caused by the shifting tariff landscape, we have chosen to delay pre-orders for this edition until we can better evaluate the financial and logistical impacts." This measured stance reflects Fangamer’s commitment to delivering value to its customers while navigating evolving international trade policies. The announcement highlights the broader effects of trade policy shifts on both game developers and publishers, particularly those relying on global supply chains for physical releases.

Collector’s Editions, which often include collectibles manufactured overseas, are especially vulnerable to sudden tariff increases.

This delay underscores the necessity for careful planning and transparency between retailers, developers, and the gaming community. Pizza Tower’s dedicated fanbase has responded with understanding, recognizing both the logistical complexities involved and Fangamer’s transparency about the situation.

While this postponement is disappointing for those eager to secure their physical copy on the Nintendo Switch, it also signals Fangamer’s intention to ensure the Collector’s Edition meets the quality standards fans expect while staying price competitive. Despite the setback, excitement remains high for Pizza Tower’s continued success on Nintendo’s hybrid platform.

The digital version of Pizza Tower remains available for Switch owners via the eShop, where it continues to garner praise for its inventive mechanics and nostalgic aesthetic.

Fangamer has not yet specified a new launch date for the Collector’s Edition pre-orders, but is expected to provide updates as the situation with tariffs becomes clearer. This development serves as a reminder of the complex interplay between international economics and the video game industry.

Fans are encouraged to follow Fangamer’s official channels and Nintendo news outlets for the latest updates regarding Pizza Tower Collector’s Edition on Nintendo Switch.
