Preorders for Switch 2 Begin in North America on April 24th

Alright, let’s dive into this chaos. So, you know how Nintendo announced the Switch 2 and everyone’s jazzed to grab one? Well, hold on to your hats, ‘cause things got weird, as they usually do with anything involving tariffs these days. Right after dropping the big news of when we’d all get our grubby mitts on the Switch 2, Nintendo hit the pause button on preorders in the U.S. and our friendly neighbors up north in Canada. Why, you ask? Trump’s tariff hoopla. Yep, tariffs, of all things.

Now, don’t lose hope just yet; the tariffs decided to mind their own business until after the Switch 2’s release. Hallelujah! Nintendo finally dished out the goods on when those of us in North America can officially start the mad dash against the scalpers. April 24, 2025, folks – mark your calendars or tattoo it on your arm, your call.

And the best part? The prices didn’t sneak up on us like a stray banana peel in Mario Kart. It’s $449.99 for just the Switch 2. Want the full experience with Mario Kart World? That’ll be $499.99. Not too shabby, huh? The games themselves are sticking to their price tags, too. Mario Kart World at $79.99, and Donkey Kong Bananza, bless its bananas, at $69.99. Classic.

But wait, don’t close your wallets yet. Not all news is good news (doesn’t life just have a way?). The accessories have decided they want in on the price hike action. Apparently, “market conditions” decided to throw a wrench in our budget plans. So, expect a little tinkering there since prices were originally announced on April 2nd, but—surprise!—they’re getting revised again. What can you do? Roll with the punches, I guess.

Found myself lost on Nintendo’s website, by the way—sneaky tip, always check there for pricing and product details before you snag anything. They’ve got the info you need unless the site’s down because everyone else had the same brilliant idea at once.

Anyway, we now have a date to wrestle scalpers for our beloved Switch 2. Super important to register for preorders on Nintendo.com if you can. Cover your bases so you’re not left crying over sold-out signs and eBay’s villainous prices next Thursday. Who knew video games could be this dramatic? Grabbing a console feels like planning a secret mission sometimes. Here’s hoping we’re faster than a Blue Shell this round.
