Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders — how to get an invite at My Nintendo Store

A Nintendo Switch 2 console in hand next to the Nintendo Switch 2 logo.

We all want to secure a Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as going to your favorite retailer and adding one to your cart. The demand for the console has vastly exceeded the supply.

Nintendo will offer some pre-orders directly, but there are some requirements you must meet — and even then, you'll only have a chance to get one based on luck. They'll start on May 8 for those who have registered interest and meet all of Nintendo's requirements (don't worry, they're not too extreme).
