Nintendo announced US and Canadian pre-orders for the Switch 2 will open April 24th, priced at $450 (or $500 bundled with Mario Kart World). Despite earlier tariff-related delays, the base price remains unchanged, though accessory prices will increase due to market conditions. Pre-orders via Nintendo require a 12-month Switch Online subscription and 50 gameplay hours. The Switch 2 launches June 5th and will be available from various retailers.
