Hey gamers, buckle up! The Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order madness is about to hit North America, and here’s the scoop. The base model’s holding steady at $450, but if you’re after that sweet Mario Kart World bundle, you’re looking at $500. And yeah, some accessories might play hard to get with their prices thanks to the market’s mood swings. 😊
Now, about that Piranha Plant Switch 2 camera – it’s not just an accessory; it’s a conversation starter. Perfect for the collector who loves a side of weird with their tech.
Thinking of pre-ordering straight from Nintendo? Here’s the deal: you gotta be 18+, logged in, and have thrown your hat in the ring for pre-order interest. Invites are like concert tickets – first in, best dressed. And if you’re a Nintendo Switch Online member with a 12-month subscription and 50+ hours of gameplay as of April 2, 2025, you’re at the front of the line.
Not all in on the Nintendo train? Chill. Big names like Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart, and Target are opening their pre-order doors on April 24.
