Good news for US residents wanting to grab a Nintendo Switch 2! Pre-orders for the console will open on the 24th of April, with prices for the consoles, both the bundle and standalone, as well as the games, remaining unchanged. Accessories will be a bit more expensive, with most of them going up in price by 5 USD, the Joy-Con 2 Straps by 1 USD, and the Dock by 10 USD.

Do note that a lot of the accessories will either be included in the box already (Straps, Joy-Cons, Dock) or there will be cheaper alternatives from third party retailers (cases, SD cards), so look for those if you're on a tight budget or don't want to pay the Nintendo Tax on those.

Quote From Nintendo

Retail pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 will begin on April 24, 2025. At launch, the price for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will remain as announced on April 2 at $449.99, and the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle will remain as announced at $499.99. Pricing for both physical and digital versions of Mario Kart World ($79.99) and Donkey Kong Bananza ($69.99) will also remain unchanged at launch.

However, Nintendo Switch 2 accessories will experience price adjustments from those announced on April 2 due to changes in market conditions. Other adjustments to the price of any Nintendo product are also possible in the future depending on market conditions.

We apologize for the retail pre-order delay, and hope this reduces some of the uncertainty our customers may be experiencing. We thank our customers for their patience, and we share their excitement to experience Nintendo Switch 2 starting June 5, 2025.
