A well-known industry investigator has shared insights on social media regarding a potential leak related to the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order dates based on retailer information they uncovered. Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 are reportedly set to begin in Canada on April 23, although there are conflicting reports indicating that US pre-orders could begin either on April 23 or April 30.
Following Nintendo’s Nintendo Direct broadcast on April 2, the company announced that pre-orders for the much-anticipated console would commence on April 9 via various retailers, such as Walmart, Best Buy, and GameStop. However, shortly thereafter, Nintendo postponed the US pre-orders due to the Trump administration’s tariffs on imports from countries like China and Vietnam. As a result, the Canadian pre-orders were also delayed to synchronize with the US schedule. Despite pre-orders being available in other regions, Nintendo has not confirmed when they will officially start in North America.
Summary
- Pre-orders for the Switch 2 in Canada are expected to start on April 23 based on industry insights.
- There are conflicting reports suggesting that pre-orders in the US may also begin on April 23 or April 30.
- Currently, the only way for potential Switch 2 pre-orders in North America is through the My Nintendo Store email list, with emails starting to roll out on May 8.
