Pre-orders for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 are set to go live soon, but when can I pre-order?
At the time of writing, the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order date is a little complicated as we currently only have leaked information to relay on. It’s expected that Nintendo will officially announce their pre-order information during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2nd, 2025.
What The Leaks Say About The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Order Date
Earlier this week, Best Buy Canada accidently leaked that pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 are set to go live on April 2, 2025, after the Direct. However, shortly after the information went live on their website and the news started to circulate online, Best Buy Canada promptly removed the information.
According to Insider Gaming sources, who provided internal information and emails from Best Buy USA, they state that the pre-order date for the Nintendo Switch 2 will be on April 9, 2025, one week after the Direct.
So, if the leaked documents are to be believed, Best Buy Canada made some kind of mistake and just assumed that pre-orders would go live on the same day as the Direct.
What’s Included in the Pre-Order?
At the moment, no official details have been given on the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders, but according to the same leaked documents, it will contain a Switch 2 collectable coin.
Other information such as what SKU’s, games, and colours will be available for the Nintendo Switch 2 on launch have yet to be announced or leaked.
