Did you manage to pre-order a Nintendo Switch 2?

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders went live on April 24 , and they seemed even more challenging to obtain than the PS5. Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, London Drugs, Costco..

. pretty much everywhere sold out of Nintendo’s console within minutes. While multiple MobileSyrup staffers could pre-order it, I failed at every turn.



I couldn’t manage to get the console, from midnight to catch pre-orders at Walmart to waking up at 9am to make sure I was ready for the Best Buy launch. I might still have a chance with Amazon as the e-commerce company sends out invites to those who sign up. There will be multiple pre-order rounds, but I failed on this first attempt.

Were you more successful? Let us know in the comments below. The Switch 2 launches on June 5 and $629.99, and the bundle that includes a digital copy of Mario Kart World is $699.

99, so you’re effectively getting the game for $70 instead of $110. For more on the Switch 2, check out our hands-on impressions of both the console and its games , as well as our interviews with the main hardware architects and Nintendo of America’s Nate Bihldorff ..
