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. But don't worry, we've compiled everything you need to be ready for this highly anticipated launch.
Register Your Interest
While preorders aren't live, retailers like Best Buy are allowing you to register your interest. This ensures you get email alerts when preorders open. GameStop also has a listing, but it's likely unavailable until after the April announcement.
Proactive Steps
- Follow IGN and IGNDeals: Stay updated on social media (Bluesky, X) for preorder news on the console, games, and accessories.
- Monitor Major Retailers: Keep tabs on Target, Walmart, GameStop, and Best Buy.
- Proceed with Caution Regarding Amazon: Amazon's 2024 Nintendo product availability has been inconsistent. Other retailers might be a safer bet.
Mario Kart 9: A Confirmed Title
Mario Kart 9 is confirmed for the Switch 2, briefly shown in the announcement trailer. Preorders will likely open alongside the console's preorders, potentially bundled together.

Nintendo hasn't revealed the price, but estimates range from $399 to $499. Analysts suggest $400 as the optimal price point. Consider the current Switch prices:
- Nintendo Switch: $299
- Nintendo Switch OLED: $349
- Nintendo Switch Lite: $199
Release Date and Beyond
A 2025 release is planned, with specifics expected on April 2nd. Preview events extend to June 2025, suggesting a second-half launch.
