Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-orders: Where to Buy Before June 5 Release

Holy moly, the Nintendo Switch 2 is dropping on June 5, and guess what? It’s already vanished from shelves faster than a slice of pizza at a gaming marathon! 🤯🚀 Missed the pre-order boat? You’re not alone. Nintendo flipped the switch on US and Canada pre-orders April 24, and giants like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and GameStop were cleaned out quicker than you can say ‘Mario Kart’. GameStop’s online stash? Gone in a flash. 😱

Believe it or not, a few stragglers caught a break at Walmart until April 26, but now? Their pre-order pages have pulled a Houdini. 💨 Nintendo’s your last hope, but they’re playing hard to get with an invite-only system. Sign up if you dare, but invites start rolling May 8, and some might not land until after launch. Talk about a cliffhanger! 😔

Here’s the skinny: dying for a Switch 2? Hop over to Nintendo’s site and sign up. It’s free, and who knows? You might just hit the jackpot. But fair warning—Nintendo’s playing favorites with Switch Online subscribers who’ve clocked at least 12 months and 50 hours of gameplay. Newbies, brace for a wait. 🕒

Pro move: set up shop with all the big players (Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy, Target) and keep your deets fresh. Snag their apps and turn on alerts. Restocks are like ninjas—silent but deadly. 📱

And hey, don’t sleep on the accessories! The Joy-Con 2, Pro Controller, and even a snazzy camera are up for grabs, though they’ve nudged up in price. Camera’s $55, Pro Controller’s $85. Want the ultimate setup? Strike while the iron’s hot! 🎮

The Switch 2 is shaping up to be a beast—bigger screen, slicker graphics, and Joy-Cons that’ll blow your mind. But snagging one? Might as well be hunting for unicorns. Best of luck, and remember—fortune favors the bold! 🍀
