Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders Open April 2 – UPDATE

“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,” the post reads.

What isn’t mentioned is the exact release date or price for the console. That information, however, will be announced during the Direct.

It’s also worth noting that Nintendo has yet to confirm that pre-orders for the console will open on the same day of the event. That said, if an official store—especially one as large as Best Buy—is posting about it, it seems all but confirmed.

As far as a release date goes, many, including Insider Gaming’s own sources, believe that the system will launch sometime in June. Rumors also speculate that it will be priced around $400-$450, though there has been nothing official to back those claims as of publishing.
