Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders

While Nintendo hasn’t given us a release date or any technical info regarding the Nintendo Switch 2, we at least know when pre-orders will start, and it’s soon.

At leas that’s according to Best Buy Canada, who announced it today ahead of any Nintendo announcement.

Best Buy Canada Says Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders Will Kick Off on April 2

According to the Best Buy Canada website, “Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 will open on April 2nd at Best Buy Canada, giving you the chance to secure your console early.”

Here’s a screenshot of it in case Best Buy pulls it:

There is a chance that Best Buy mistaken the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct show for the pre-order date, but seeing as it mentions it on the same page, we doubt that. It seems Nintendo plans to open the pre-order floodgates once the show ends on the same day, which is something we’ve seen happen with games and consoles before.

Speaking of which, the official reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 will air on April 2 (next week!), which we’re hoping gives us the tech specs, launch lineup, price and the release date.

If you’re looking forward to that,  it’ll air on April 2 at 6 am PST/9 am ET/9 pm HKT/10 pm JST and be broadcast on Nintendo’s YouTube channel.

While there are no games officially announced for the Nintendo Switch 2, a retailer leak mentions a new 3D Super Mario and a Zelda Remake is headed to the console.

Are you ready to try and be disappointed that you won’t be able to get a Nintendo Switch 2? I know I am.
