The Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order date is a toss up, but be prepared at this time


Don't reset your alarm clock for April 9 just yet. Be prepared to pre-order on April 9 at 10am ET, as that's the first time you may be able to reserve the console.

But today, there’s new speculation that the Nintendo console will launch on April 9, reports Insider Gaming citing (but not showing) the evidence from internal emails and documents. This Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order news contradicts the April 2 date that Best Buy briefly confirmed yesterday through a premature posting on its Canadian website. That’s pretty typical of the tech companies we report on, from Apple to Microsoft: an official announcement, press analysis, and public reaction scattered across a week.
