You might have already made up your mind about lining up outside a GameStop to buy the Nintendo Switch 2<\/a> when it launches on June 5. Or maybe, if you’re like me, you’re wondering whether it’s smart to shell out $450 for Nintendo’s console when prices are jumping everywhere.<\/p>\n

Whatever you decide, the first thing to know is that Nintendo is launching preorders in the US and Canada starting April 24<\/a>. Preorders have been live in other countries already, but Nintendo canceled the original April 9 preorder window for the two countries to assess the impacts of the tariffs<\/a>. The good news is that the price of the Switch 2 console remains at $450, and the Mario Kart World<\/em> bundle is still $500. That said, a few accessories have been hit with a small price hike.<\/p>\n

In today’s age of scalpers, preordering a Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t as simple as adding it to your cart when the website goes live. If you buy directly from Nintendo, for example, you need to meet certain requirements. Don’t worry, we’ll break it all down in this guide.<\/p>\n
