Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders Are Finally Here!

The gaming world is buzzing—Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are officially live! But here’s the catch: they’re selling out faster than you can say ‘Joy-Con!’ The U.S. launch last month saw consoles disappear within minutes, and while there have been scattered restocks at retailers like Walmart and the Nintendo Store, the big wave of inventory we’re all hoping for is still MIA.

Ladies and gents, mark your calendars for June 5, the big launch day that will see the Nintendo Switch 2 hit shelves in both the U.S. and U.K., priced at $449 or $499 when bundled with the exciting new Mario Kart World.

Latest Retailer Stock Updates!

U.S. shoppers, your best bets for securing a pre-order include: - **Walmart**: Console available for $449. Pre-orders began on April 24, and if you want it by launch day, be sure to order by June 4, 8 a.m. ET. - **Target**: Also at $449, pre-orders started at the same time as Walmart’s. - **GameStop**: Online and in-store pre-orders available, but hurry! They’re melting away fast. - **Best Buy**: Think you can grab one at launch? They’re opening at midnight on June 5 for pickups.

In the U.K., the situation is slightly better with several retailers like Very and ShopTo having restocked after the initial sell-out frenzy. Keep your eyes peeled as new stock drops!

What’s New with the Switch 2?

The Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t just a pretty new face; it features the all-new GameChat function, which provides real-time captioning and text-to-speech capabilities for an inclusive gaming experience. You can now connect with friends via video calls, thanks to the innovative "C" button!

Accessories & Games You Don’t Want to Miss!

It’s not just about the console; gear up with some must-have accessories like the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller for $84 or the all-new Joy-Con 2 controllers priced at $94. And for the gamers out there, don’t forget the exciting lineup of launch titles, including the much-anticipated Mario Kart World for $79!

Don’t Miss Your Chance!

Hustle and check every major retailer frequently to snag a pre-order while you can. With high demand and limited supply, the next wave could drop any time! And remember, if you’re not yet in line for your Nintendo Switch 2, you’ll want to prepare for the long game, especially on launch day.

Stay tuned for more updates, and happy gaming!
