Starting June 6, customers can pre-order the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 through Target’s online platform, either on their website or app. This gives those unable to purchase it from a brick-and-mortar store an additional buying opportunity.

Despite the console’s pre-orders being available for more than a month, securing a Switch 2 has proven challenging for customers. When it was first listed for pre-order on April 24th, popular retailers like Best Buy and Walmart faced technical issues due to overwhelming demand. Many encountered website crashes, glitches, and lengthy loading screens, making it difficult for fans to secure a pre-order.

In a recent blog announcement, it’s been disclosed that as of June 6, customers can pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Switch 2 package featuring Mario Kart World digitally via the Target app or website. Each customer is restricted to purchasing just one system, and since these items are in limited supply, they will be available for purchase only until stocks last.

Target Offers Special Deals to Celebrate Switch 2 Launch

Target plans to take advantage of the buzz around the new console by setting up a special Nintendo area within its electronics department in stores. This space will not only include accessories such as the GameChat camera, but also unique merchandise and special promotions to mark the launch of the Switch 2. The blog post reveals that there will be price reductions on chosen Nintendo-related items during the June 5-7 launch period, applicable in stores and online.

Considering the inconvenience of pre-ordering Nintendo Switch 2 and the latest reports of some pre-orders being canceled close to its launch date, purchasing one from Target after its release becomes an appealing choice. However, keep in mind that demand will likely be high, so it’s essential to stay vigilant by regularly checking their website for availability.

On its debut day, the lineup of games for the Switch 2 is led by “Mario Kart World”, which comes included with certain systems in a package that costs $50 above the standard model. At launch, the console will also feature graphically demanding titles that weren’t available on the initial Switch, such as “Split Fiction”, “Street Fighter 6”, and “Cyberpunk 2077”. On June 5, several hardware accessories are set to be released. Enthusiasts can buy an extra pair of Joy-Cons for $94.99, while a Switch 2 Pro Controller will retail at $84.99.
