OMG, guys! 🤯 The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here! Nintendo has officially announced that pre-orders for the Switch 2 will open on April 24 in the US and Canada. 🎉 The base model will still be $450, and there’s also a $500 bundle that includes Mario Kart World. So cool, right? 🚀
But wait, there’s a twist! Some accessories might get a bit pricier because of “market conditions.” Nintendo says more price changes could happen, so keep an eye out! 👀
Nintendo also said sorry for the pre-order delay (aww 😢) and confirmed the Switch 2 will be everywhere starting June 5. Mark your calendars! 📅
How to Pre-Order the Switch 2
You can grab your Switch 2 directly from Nintendo or from big retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart. But here’s the catch with Nintendo’s site: you gotta be 18+, have a Nintendo account, and register your interest. Then, you’ll get an invite email to pre-order within 72 hours. And guess what? If you’ve been a Switch Online member for at least a year and played 50+ hours, you’ll get priority! 🎮💨

The Switch 2 is bigger and better with a 7.9-inch LCD screen, 120Hz refresh rate, and 1080p resolution.

Storage jumps to 256GB, expandable with microSD Express cards. And the accessories? Some are getting price bumps, like the new camera ($55) and Pro controller ($85). Check Nintendo’s site for the full list. 📜
