Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders open Thursday starting at $450

Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders Go Live April 24 in the US and Canada

Gamers, mark your calendars—Nintendo has officially announced that pre-orders for the highly anticipated Switch 2 console will open on April 24 across the US and Canada.

Despite the buzz and global market changes, Nintendo is sticking to its original pricing. The Switch 2 console will retail for $450, while the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle will be available for $500.

However, there is a twist. In a recent press release, Nintendo revealed that accessory prices may be adjusted due to evolving market conditions, and hinted that pricing for other products might also change in the future depending on these trends.

The company also addressed the delay in pre-orders, offering an apology to fans and confirming that the Nintendo Switch 2 will officially launch on June 5 with widespread availability.

Excited yet? The next generation of Nintendo gaming is just around the corner!
