Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders: Sold out at most retailers including GameStop, Walmart, Target, Best Buy and others

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are now officially open in North America. After (what felt like) a long delay after the original April 9 pre-order date, Nintendo finally opened up pre-orders in the US and Canada on April 24. The console will be widely available on June 5, but if you signed up ahead of time on Nintendo’s site, you should have received an email that will give you access to place your order via Nintendo.

If you didn't get an email and you registered your interest with Nintendo, you're not alone. The company updated its pre-order page to say that some may not receive their pre-order email until after the June 5 launch date.

Elsewhere across the internet, participating third-party retailers also opened up Switch 2 pre-orders. Stores including GameStop, Walmart, Best Buy, Target and others are selling the $450 console and the $500 Mario Kart World bundle. But as of right now, most retailers have sold out of their stock.

Along with Nintendo, third-party retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart and Target opened their pre-orders on April 24 as scheduled. Best Buy, Walmart and Target pre-orders opened at midnight, while GameStop in-person and online pre-orders started at 11am. As of now, all of those retailers have either sold out of their stock, or list the console as "coming soon." We also expect the Switch 2 to be available from Amazon, but links are not live on the site yet.

At this point, we recommend signing up via Nintendo's website if you haven't already. It's free to sign up and you'll eventually get an email that will allow you to order the console, even if you have to wait until after the June 5 launch day. We will continue to update this post as time goes on with the latest Switch 2 pre-order information.
