As a dedicated Nintendo gamer, I can’t contain my excitement! The long wait for the Switch 2 is almost over – Nintendo has officially announced that it’ll hit the shelves on June 5! During their livestream, they unveiled the Switch 2 in all its glory.
And here’s some more fantastic news: Starting from April 9, you can reserve your Nintendo Switch 2 both online and in stores! So mark your calendars, folks.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will retail for $450 at launch, but if you fancy Mario Kart World – the exclusive launch title – there’s a bundle available for just $500! Can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Nintendo Switch 2 Preorder Bonuses
As a dedicated gamer, I’ve noticed that when it comes to video game consoles, preorder bonuses aren’t usually part of the package like they are with games. However, when it comes to Nintendo products, retailers often throw in some exciting extras. These can range from themed merchandise like tote bags and popcorn buckets, to display pieces and fun trinkets. There’s even a rumor floating around about an unknown retailer offering a collectible coin for those who preorder the Switch 2. As more details about the Switch 2 preorder bonuses are confirmed, we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
It’s likely that significant retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart who usually stock Nintendo hardware and games will set up pre-order pages for the Nintendo Switch 2 in the near future. For example, Best Buy has had a sign-up form available on their site since the Switch 2 was announced in January. You can register now to receive updates if you’re interested. As of now, GameStop’s actual product page for the Switch 2 is active and allows you to sign up for notifications regarding preorders. Similar banners for the Switch 2 are visible on Target and Walmart’s Nintendo stores pages.
At present, there’s an uncertainty regarding Amazon, and this isn’t limited to preorders. There’s a possibility, even a strong one, that Amazon might not stock the Nintendo Switch 2, either broadly or at its launch. Amazon is the only significant retailer that hasn’t mentioned or displayed any banner related to the Switch 2 on their site. In terms of video games, Amazon’s Nintendo store page has remained unchanged for several months.
For approximately a year now, the bond between Amazon and Nintendo seems to be experiencing turbulence. A large proportion of first-party Nintendo Switch games, including both recent releases and long-time hits, have been missing from Amazon’s shelves. This unease is further emphasized by Amazon’s decision not to stock the 2024 Nintendo Switch holiday bundles, such as the Hyrule Edition Switch Lite, or the latest Super Mario Bros. Wonder Switch OLED console bundle. We’ve contacted Amazon for insight on whether they anticipate stocking the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, and we will update this article if we receive a response. If Amazon intends to offer the Switch 2, it’s likely that their website page dedicated to Nintendo products will be updated soon.

Preorder Nintendo Switch 2 Accessories
During their April 2nd live broadcast, Nintendo unveiled several exciting accessories for the upcoming Switch 2 console. These include the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller 2 and the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, designed for the console’s new GameChat feature. At launch, you’ll also be able to get a set of the upgraded Switch 2 Joy-Con Controllers. In the near future, expect third-party manufacturers to unveil an array of new controllers, cases, grips, screen protectors, and other accessories tailored for the Switch 2. Innovative companies like Dbrand have been hinting at Switch 2 accessories for quite some time now. One such company, known for its top-tier products like the Killswitch grip case, is planning to release a Switch 2 variant of their popular product.
You likely own a few “Switch 2” accessories already
The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 can use accessories from the original Switch, but with some limitations. For instance, Joy-Con Controllers will function in docked mode when connected to the Switch 2, but they won’t work during handheld play. Accessories like a Nintendo Switch carrying case might not fit the new model either. However, controllers such as the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and third-party options like the 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Wireless Controller should be compatible with the Switch 2 right out of the box.
Due to the plentiful array of current Switch accessories, there’s a good chance you’ll find some intriguing enhancements for your Switch 2 right at its debut. However, the new Joy-Con seem not to tackle one frequent issue with standard Switch 2 controllers: comfort. Consequently, grip cases and third-party alternatives may again be in demand for handheld mode. Existing controllers like GameSir’s G8 Plus, a Bluetooth device compatible with both Switch and tablets up to 8.5 inches, could potentially cater to your needs. It’s reasonable to expect that it would fit the Switch 2 comfortably, and it seems unlikely that it won’t pair with the console.
