Days after Walmart delisted the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order pages from its website, a source confirmed the retailer restored the pages for the base console and Mario Kart World bundle. However, the Switch 2 Walmart pages no longer have pre-order options, and only show the June 5 release date as the next opportunity for fans to get a console at Walmart, both in stores and online.
Following a two-week delay in Switch 2 pre-orders due to the Trump administration's tariffs on global imports, third-party retailers Walmart, Best Buy, and Target took pre-orders at midnight Eastern on April 24. However, the Switch 2 pre-order window proved chaotic, as all three retailers' websites were marred by technical problems due to the sheer volume of traffic from legitimate customers and bots alike. Although some users were successful in this endeavor, the first wave of Switch 2 pre-orders was completely gone within hours. While subsequent waves will continue until June 5, users will require patience and luck to get a Switch 2 pre-order.
