Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order warning: make sure you don't fall for this easy trap


Nintendo sent out email invites to buy the Switch 2, but make sure you're not falling for a scam.

Now, here’s a screenshot of the fake email circulating the internet that’s been reposted many times by people on social media – and linked to by top tech websites. Through our Substack Chat, we’ve been able to offer a leg up with priority notifications whenever the Switch 2 console is in stock, and this is where the real email invite came to light.
