It’s been disclosed when the Nintendo Switch 2 will be released, and the corporation headquartered in Japan intends to implement measures to deter resellers from hoarding inventory.
For years now, fans have eagerly anticipated the arrival of Nintendo’s long-awaited Switch 2. And just recently, they announced the official release date during their April 2nd Direct broadcast.
On April 9, 2025, pre-orders for the new Nintendo Switch 2 will become available in the U.S., with the device itself hitting store shelves on June 5 of the same year.
Concerns have arisen among enthusiasts regarding the supply when pre-orders become available, and Nintendo has disclosed an innovative method they’re employing to prevent resellers from exploiting their direct sales.
Nintendo has massive requirements for Switch 2 preorders
To reserve a Switch 2 ahead of its release, you need to express your intention to buy this much-anticipated dual-purpose device by registering with Nintendo.
Afterwards, Nintendo may extend invitations for customers to buy the device; however, there are certain conditions to qualify for this invitation. Primarily, you must be at least 18 years old to begin with, since registration is only open to adults.
To receive the invite, it’s essential that you’ve owned a Nintendo Switch Online membership for a continuous period of at least 12 months. It’s unclear if this requirement is consecutive or not. Additionally, customers need to share their gameplay data with Nintendo and have accumulated a minimum of 50 hours across all games on their Nintendo Switch.
As an ardent admirer, I’m thrilled about the measure taken to keep bots and scalpers at bay from depleting Nintendo’s stocks directly. However, it remains a mystery whether they’ve got any strategies yet for managing third-party sales in the market.
As an enthusiast, I’m excited to share that both Best Buy and GameStop have announced their preorder dates! Starting April 9, you can secure your Nintendo Switch 3 from these retail giants. To top it off, Best Buy is planning a midnight release for the console on June 5, 2025, making it a date I won’t forget anytime soon!
