The Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order date has just been confirmed as Best Buy publishes leak

Estimated read time 2 min read


12:04pm ET – Best Buy has just removed the blog page previously claiming that the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order date was set for April 2. The post has been fully taken down, with only a 404 remaining. Original article continues below.

Best Buy Canada just confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be available to pre-order on April 2. The retailer updated its blog with a handy little guide to watching next week’s handheld-focused Direct presentation, but in doing so confirmed that “pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 will open on April 2nd.”

The news confirms previous speculation that early orders would coincide with the full reveal (set for 9am ET / 1pm GMT), following on from the original Switch’s launch timeline. However, this is the first time we’ve seen any retailer actively acknowledging those order dates. With Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders launching next week, the new generation console is officially within touching distance. The full blog post was published this morning, and states that April 2 pre-order date multiple times.

I’d recommend getting in line early for this one. While Nintendo has claimed that it’s been actively working on removing resellers from the equation for its next console launch, this is still going to be an immensely popular product.
