Here’s where and how to pre-order Nintendo Switch 2

Following a delay, Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are about to begin in the United States – and Canada. Reservations have been open elsewhere, but aside from a few select games, that’s not been the case stateside.

Major retailers are set to open Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders this week, April 24. Some listings will be going live as soon as the clock strikes midnight on the East Coast. Most of the big stores should have Nintendo Switch 2 available, but there’s likely a big exception. Nintendo and Amazon have seemingly been feuding again over the past year, so the console itself – and probably first-party titles – are unlikely to be up for pre-order there.

In this post, we’re providing a full roundup on where and how to pre-order Nintendo Switch 2. With various placeholder listings already live, this should come in handy.
