Fans eagerly waiting to pre-order the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 through Best Buy can rejoice as the retailer has officially announced when they’ll start accepting orders. Although there were initial setbacks causing a delay in the pre-order window opening for the Nintendo Switch 2, everything seems to be running smoothly now.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been surrounded by speculation and excitement for quite some time now, and it would be an understatement to describe it as such. In truth, the console’s development has taken years, with endless whispers and promises about its capabilities swirling around. As a result, fans have been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to experience the Nintendo Switch 2 firsthand for quite some time. Despite the fact that the official release date is still a ways off, pre-orders are set to open in just a few short days.

Starting from April 24th, Best Buy is set to begin accepting pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2, joining other prominent retailers like GameStop, Target, and Walmart who will also open their pre-orders on the same day. Notably, Best Buy’s pre-orders are scheduled to start at midnight Eastern Time.

Alternate Options if Best Buy Pre-Orders Sell Out

It’s important to note that Target, Walmart, and Best Buy have set their pre-order dates and times for the same day. If Best Buy runs out of pre-orders, it might be wise to check Target and Walmart to see if they still have some available. In contrast, GameStop won’t start its pre-orders until 11 am ET on that day (or at physical stores when they open), so gamers should keep that in mind. Additionally, while the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 console has remained unchanged since its initial announcement, some accessories for the Nintendo Switch 2 have seen a price increase.

It appears that Nintendo is making extra efforts this time to prevent the stock shortages witnessed during the debut of the original Nintendo Switch with the Nintendo Switch 2. However, there are worries due to current global economic conditions and potential US tariffs affecting the gaming sector, which could negatively impact the Nintendo Switch 2. Even if supply issues aren’t an issue, the relatively high cost of the console and its games might deter some gamers. Once pre-order opportunities become available, we’ll have a better idea whether the system will replicate the success of its predecessor or if players choose to wait for now.
