Information about this was quietly included on the official website since the system’s reveal earlier in the month. It’s actually tucked away in a note about Everybody 1-2 Switch.

[Let’s Talk] Did you pre-order Nintendo Switch 2?
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch 2 | 0 comments
This week we have a simple question – have you pre-ordered Nintendo Switch 2?
Reservations began this week in the United States (and Canada). To say the least, it was an… interesting experience. Best Buy, Target, GameStop, and Walmart all seemed to experience their fair share of issues with each site hammered with traffic and other shenanigans taking place. Based on reports, the best experience may have actually been visiting a local GameStop and pre-ordering there.
Regardless of where you are in the world, are you locked and loaded for Nintendo Switch 2 with a pre-order? Have you reserved any games? Let us know in the comments.
Nintendo on why Switch 2 is launching in June
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser has weighed in on the decision to launch Switch 2 in June.
Bowser said that the company isn’t locked into specific time frames to launch gaming products. For June though, it’s not a bad choice given that the summer is starting (with kids starting to finish school for the year). Since Nintendo Switch 2 is portable, you can take it anywhere – which works well for a vacation.
