Best Buy says April 2, new leaks suggest April 9 - exactly when Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders will go live remains a mystery. Those looking for a day-one order will need to be quick off the mark when Nintendo broadcasts its full Direct presentation this Wednesday. The 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm BST showcase should answer all our questions, so it's best to be prepared for every eventuality.
The full blog post on Best Buy Canada's site explicitly stated that 'pre-orders are open on April 2, 2025' before being shut down shortly afterward. However, newer conflicting information from US retailer communications suggests that that date might be shifted to April 9.
