It's been a long time coming, but finally we know when exactly the much anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 console is going on sale, and when you can pre-order it.
Announced at today's Nintendo Direct event, you will be able to pre-order the Switch 2 direct from Nintendo, on 9 April – that's next week – with the next gen handheld console going on sale to all on 5 June.
Perhaps by the time Amazon Prime Day comes around, there will be some discounts, but there's no guarantee. What I can say for sure is how much the retail price of the Switch 2 will be.
In the US, the standalone console will be $449. If you want the console and Mario Kart World, that'll be $499.
In the UK, it'll be £395 for the standalone Switch 2, and £429 for the Mario Kart bundle.
Now, that's a different story to the launch price of the original Switch. That launched in 2017 at $299.99/£279.99. However, the Switch 2 will be bigger and better, and honestly, the first iteration is so popular, we think people are going to snap up the 2 on launch.
Good luck!
