Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order update: this is what the email invite looks like


You can pre-order the Switch 2 from the official My Nintendo Store today, May 8, but you'll need an invite first

This is the first time that Nintendo’s online store has offered pre-orders, two weeks after a chaotic scene in which American retailers, like Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop, quickly sold out of the video game console. Nintendo’s email invites trickled out late this afternoon, according to our tracking data, with the few lucky invitees telling The Shortcut that it was a smooth checkout process. Matt, a trusted technology expert with over 25 years of journalism experience and the former US Editor-in-Chief of TechRadar, can be found on social media through X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
