Description
Fangamer, a popular online retailer specializing in video game merchandise and collector’s editions, has announced a significant delay for the pre-orders of its forthcoming Pizza Tower Collector’s Edition on the Nintendo Switch.
This development comes amid ongoing uncertainty related to tariffs introduced during President Trump’s administration, directly impacting the costs and logistics of physical video game releases in the United States.
Pizza Tower, developed by Tour De Pizza, quickly gained critical acclaim following its release thanks to its fast-paced platforming, unique pixel art style, and energetic soundtrack reminiscent of retro classics.
Since launching on various platforms, including the Nintendo Switch via the eShop, the game has developed a loyal following.
The announcement of a Collector’s Edition was met with enthusiasm from fans who were eager to secure exclusive physical content celebrating the game’s offbeat style and memorable characters.
Fangamer addressed the postponement in an official statement on the game’s product listing page.
Although the retailer did not elaborate on all the specifics, the message clearly cited concerns over recent policy shifts: "Due to ongoing uncertainty regarding tariffs introduced by President Trump, we have decided to delay pre-orders for the Pizza Tower Collector’s Edition on Nintendo Switch until we can better assess the impact on production and shipping costs." By focusing on clarity, Fangamer reassured customers that they remain committed to delivering high-quality products and transparent communication throughout the process.
This move illustrates how international policy changes can ripple through the gaming industry, affecting timelines for physical releases and collector’s editions.
Fangamer has a long-standing reputation for producing premium collector’s items for a range of beloved titles, often in close collaboration with developers.
Previous releases have included special editions for games like Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, and Celeste, and these projects have typically sold out rapidly due to high demand among the Nintendo Switch community.
Despite the delay, interest in the Pizza Tower Collector’s Edition remains high, as does anticipation surrounding the game’s physical release on Nintendo Switch.
The Nintendo eShop version of Pizza Tower continues to be readily available, ensuring that fans can still experience the acclaimed platformer digitally while awaiting further updates.
As the situation surrounding international tariffs develops, Fangamer encourages interested customers to stay tuned to its official channels for news regarding updated pre-order dates.
The story is a timely reminder of how global events can influence the world of video game collecting, impacting even the most passionate and dedicated fans.
For now, Pizza Tower remains one of the year’s standout indie releases on Nintendo Switch, with its quirky charm and frenetic gameplay earning praise across the industry and assuring its place in many players’ libraries.
