Get Ready! Nintendo Switch2 Walmart Pre-Orders Start NOW!

Summary

  • Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders start at Walmart on April 24 at 12am ET.
  • Target Switch 2 pre-orders are the same day and time.
  • Choose between a $449.99 standard bundle or a $499.99 Mario Kart World bundle.

Starting Thursday, April 24 at 12am ET, individuals interested in pre-ordering the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 can do so through Walmart. Given the anticipated popularity of this console, units are likely to sell out swiftly following its release on June 5. It’s advisable for anyone aiming to acquire a Nintendo Switch 2 at launch to pre-order it in advance.

At first, it was planned for Switch 2 pre-orders to start on April 9th. However, due to Trump’s tariffs, Nintendo decided to move the Switch 2 pre-order date to April 24th. Now, several retailers have shared their plans regarding Switch 2 pre-orders. Notably, Walmart, a major retailer, has disclosed when Nintendo enthusiasts can start pre-ordering the eagerly awaited next-generation console.

On Thursday, April 24, at 12am Eastern Time (or 11pm Central Time on the 23rd) are when Walmart will make available for pre-order the new Switch 2. It is essential to note that this refers exclusively to pre-orders made through Walmart’s online platform, as it remains uncertain whether any in-store pre-orders will be accepted. Keeping this date and time in mind would be prudent for those interested in securing a Switch 2 pre-order from Walmart, and setting an alarm might also prove helpful. Moreover, the launch of pre-orders on Walmart’s site coincides with the same timing as Target’s pre-orders.

When Do Switch 2 Walmart Pre-Orders Go Live?

  • Thursday, April 24 at 12am ET

A smart way to ensure you secure a Nintendo Switch 2 when it’s available for pre-order is by adopting a multi-faceted strategy. Keep both Walmart and Target tabs open simultaneously, so if one site experiences issues or crashes, you can quickly switch to the other. Unfortunately, there’s a chance that both sites might crash, resulting in many fans missing out on their pre-order. Fortunately, these two retailers aren’t the only ones offering Switch 2 pre-orders. You could also explore other stores to increase your chances of securing one.

Pre-orders for the GameStop Switch 2 will start at 11am ET on April 24 online, and if you prefer to buy in person, the store pre-orders will begin when your local GameStop opens that day. It’s wise to contact your nearby GameStop to learn their opening time on April 24. Additionally, keep in mind that both GameStop and Best Buy are organizing midnight launches for the Switch 2, allowing fans to acquire their console immediately on June 5.

As a devoted fan eagerly anticipating the Nintendo Switch 2, I’m excited to share that we’ll have some enticing choices upon pre-order. The regular bundle will be priced at $449.99, but for an additional investment of $50, you can grab the Switch 2 “Mario Kart World” bundle, retailing at $499.99. This special edition not only offers a fantastic gaming device but also includes the highly anticipated Mario Kart World game, saving fans a cool $30 since the game costs $79.99 on its own.
