One eager Nintendo fan is already waiting in line for a Switch 2 months before the console is set to launch. Nintendo finally gave an official release date for its next console in a Switch 2-focused Nintendo Direct livestream last week, along with the system’s suggested retail price and some of the games players will have access to when the system hits store shelves on June 5.
Nintendo’s official pre-orders for the Switch 2 will begin later this week on April 9 in most territories aside from the United States, where Nintendo is delaying them to calculate the impact of the tariffs that went into effect late last week. In the meantime, players are debating whether to order their Switch 2 consoles online and have them delivered straight to their homes, or brave the crowds and pick up their systems at a brick-and-mortar store like in the old days. Some may prefer the convenience of the former, while others might enjoy the nostalgia of the latter.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is already being resold at massively inflated prices on retail websites like eBay ahead of its pre-order start date.
