OMG, guys! ๐คฏ 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. ๐ The base model will still be $450, and there’s also a $500 bundle that includes Mario Kart World. So cool, right? ๐
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! ๐
Nintendo also said sorry for the pre-order delay (aww ๐ข) and confirmed the Switch 2 will be everywhere starting June 5. Mark your calendars! ๐
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! ๐ฎ๐จ
More Switch 2 Goodies
The Switch 2 is bigger and better with a 7.9-inch LCD screen, 120Hz refresh rate, and 1080p resolution. Dock it, and boom โ 4K gaming on your TV! ๐ฅ๏ธ Plus, the new Joy-Con 2 controllers have a C button, mouse controls, and a gyroscope. There’s even a built-in mic for Game Chat. Talk about next-level! ๐
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. ๐
