Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order date: reserve it on April 2 at this exact time


Nintendo Switch pre-orders launched right after a Nintendo's presentation eight years ago. The same could happen when the Nintendo Switch in April 2025.

This will give you a leg up for scoring a Nintendo Switch 2 console – just like we helped people buy a PS5, PlayStation Portal, and so many other hard-to-find gaming items. That said, video game scalpers are notorious for making it difficult to buy consoles by purchasing all the inventory and reselling rare items at much higher rates.
