Recent reports from Insider Gaming indicate that pre-orders for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 are expected to commence in early April 2025. Best Buy Canada has announced that pre-orders will open on April 2, following a Nintendo Direct presentation earlier that day. However, this information pertains to the Canadian market, and pre-order dates in other regions, including the United States, may differ.
According to internal documents from a major U.S. retailer, pre-orders in the U.S. are anticipated to begin on April 9, one week after the Nintendo Direct event. These documents also suggest that pre-order allocations may be limited, with retailers expecting to sell out of pre-order units on the first day due to a restricted unit allocation from Nintendo.
Nintendo has not officially confirmed these pre-order dates or provided specific details regarding pricing and availability. The company has acknowledged the high demand for the Switch 2 and is reportedly preparing sufficient stock to meet this demand. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, we will be sure to keep you posted.
