Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are available now at Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy and others starting at $450

The day has arrived — Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are now open in North America. The new console will be widely available on June 5, but if you signed up on Nintendo’s site in anticipate of pre-orders opening on April 24, you should have received (or will receive) an email that will give you access to place your order via Nintendo. In addition to direct from Nintendo, participating retailers will also have the $450 console and the $500 Mario Kart World bundle for pre-order. Those include GameStop, Walmart, Best Buy, Target and others.

Along with Nintendo, third-party retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart and Target have confirmed their pre-orders open on April 24. GameStop said it will be accepting pre-orders both in stores and online, the latter starting at 11AM ET that day. Best Buy, Walmart and Target pre-orders will open at midnight. We also expect it to be available from Amazon, but links are not live on the site yet.

Pre-order Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle

*As of midnight ET on Thursday April 24, Amazon has not listed either Switch 2 console package for sale. We will update this article with direct links when they arrive, until then we're linking to the site's Nintendo-focused hub.

The Switch 2 has a number of accessories that you can buy separately. While the console didn't get a price adjustment when Nintendo announced the new pre-order date, many of these accessories did. The new Switch 2 camera now costs $55 instead of the original $50 price tag; the new Switch 2 Pro controller costs $85 instead of $80; an extra pair of Joy-Con 2 controllers will set you back $95 instead of $90 and a Joy-Con charging grip is going for $40 instead of $35. Check out Nintendo's official statement for all of the accessory price adjustments. You can pre-order most of them at the same time that you can pre-order the Switch 2 console.
