Nintendo Switch 2 Preorders: Where to Buy, Sign Up for Interest, and More
The Nintendo Switch 2: A Preorder Guide and What We Know So Far
Let's address the elephant in the room: Switch 2 preorders aren't open yet. Expect them to begin after the April 2nd Nintendo Direct. However, we've compiled key information to help you prepare for this highly anticipated console launch.
Register Your Interest
While preorders aren't live, retailers like Best Buy are accepting interest registrations. This ensures you receive updates when preorders open. GameStop also has a listing, but it will likely remain unavailable until after the April announcement.
Additional Tips for Securing a Preorder
- Follow IGN and IGNDeals on social media (Bluesky, X) for updates on console, game, and accessory preorders.
- Monitor major retailers: Target, Walmart, GameStop, and Best Buy.
- Amazon's 2024 Nintendo availability has been inconsistent; other retailers might be a safer bet.
What do you think of the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal?
Mario Kart 9 Preorders
Mario Kart 9, briefly shown in the Switch 2 announcement trailer, is confirmed. Preorders are expected to open concurrently with the console. A bundled release is also a strong possibility.
Switch 2 Price Speculation
Nintendo hasn't revealed the price, but estimates range from $399 to $499. Analysts suggest $400 is the optimal price point. For comparison:
- Nintendo Switch: $299
- Nintendo Switch OLED: $349
- Nintendo Switch Lite: $199
A $400 price seems plausible given anticipated performance improvements.
Switch 2 Release Date
A 2025 release is planned, with specifics expected during the April 2nd Nintendo Direct. Preview events extending to June 2025 suggest a second-half 2025 launch.
Stay tuned for updates on preorders, pricing, and game announcements.
