Nintendo Finally Announced a New Preorder Date for the Switch 2

Featured Replies

If you're eager for the new Nintendo Switch 2, the current preorder situation should make you a bit nervous. Nintendo's upcoming console is scheduled to launch on June 5, but without a preorder, there's no telling how difficult it'll be to buy one. Fortunately, things are improving. On Friday, Nintendo finally announced the new date fans can expect to preorder a Switch 2, as well as some good and bad news regarding price increases. Here's the latest.

Switch 2 preorders open next week

It's official: If you live in the United States or Canada, you can preorder a Nintendo Switch 2 on Thursday, April 24. The new date replaces the original April 9 preorder schedule Nintendo announced earlier this month. The company delayed preorders following the The President administration's unpredictable array of tariffs imposed on countries around the world. As the administration rolled back certain tariffs and paused imposing new ones (at least for the time being), it seems Nintendo feels confident enough to commit to preorders in the U.S.

Part of the reason for the delay (or, perhaps the entire reason for the delay) was likely to assess whether the company should hike the price of the Switch 2. Fortunately, the calculation hasn't swung in that direction: The Switch successor will cost $449.99, the same price Nintendo revealed at the beginning of April. Likewise, Mario Kart World will still cost $79.99, and Donkey Kong Bananaza will cost $69.99. While those games are more expensive than one might expect from Nintendo titles, at least they aren't going to cost even more.

Switch 2 price increases

The bad news, however, is that not all the previously announced prices will remain the same. Nintendo says Switch 2 accessories will jump up in cost. Those prices are as follows:

  • Switch 2 Pro Controller: $84.99 (was $79.99)

  • Left and Right Joy-Con 2 controllers: $94.99 (was $89.99)

  • Switch 2 camera: $54.99 (was $49.99)

It seems the three affected units are all $5 more expensive, which isn't an enormous price increase, but these accessories were already pricey to begin with. (Seeing Joy-Cons at nearly $100 is really something.) Fortunately, the MSRPs for other Switch 2 accessories remain unchanged. Those include:

  • Joy-Con 2 charging grip: $34.99

  • Joy-Con 2 strap: $12.99

  • Joy-Con 2 wheel (two-pack): $19.99

  • Switch 2 dock: $109.99

  • Switch 2 carrying case (with screen protector): $34.99

  • Switch 2 all-in-one case: $79.99

  • Switch 2 AC adapter: $29.99

Nintendo isn't the only one raising prices, either. Earlier this week, Sony announced MSRP bumps for PS5s across the world. At the moment, the U.S. was spared from those cost adjustments, but we'll see if that holds.
