Almost as soon as Nintendo announced when the Switch 2 would hit the shelves, they had to hit pause on preorders in the U.S. and Canada, thanks to some tariff complications involving Donald Trump. Eventually, the tariffs were pushed back beyond the console’s launch, and now Nintendo has confirmed when folks in North America can dive into the preorder frenzy, hoping to snag a unit before scalpers do.
Mark your calendars for April 24, 2025—this is when retail preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 kick off. The best part? The pricing hasn’t budged: it’s still set at $449.99 for just the Switch 2, and $499.99 if you want the added thrill of a Mario Kart World bundle.
Prices for the eagerly awaited games aren’t changing either. Mario Kart World will sell at $79.99, while Donkey Kong Bananza will go for $69.99, keeping things straightforward at the launch.
However, not everything is smooth sailing. Accessories for the Nintendo Switch 2 are seeing price adjustments following their initial announcement on April 2nd, thanks to “changes in market conditions.” Additionally…
Future price tweaks for any Nintendo products are on the table, depending on how the market shifts. For the latest on all things product and pricing, check out www.nintendo.com.
It’s true that such adjustments are always an option, but the current economic backdrop in the U.S. makes this scenario more plausible.
Despite these changes, the excitement is palpable as we now have a date for when we can finally get our hands on the Nintendo Switch 2. Don’t forget to sign up for preorder access on Nintendo.com (provided you qualify) to ensure you have a fair shot at beating the scalpers come next Thursday.
