Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders Start April 24 in U.S., Priced at $449

Nintendo has confirmed that pre-orders for the Switch 2 in the U.S. will officially begin on April 24, 2025. The company reaffirmed the console’s launch price at $449.99, with a fixed release date set for June 5, 2025. This follows an initial delay from the previously announced April 9 pre-order date, as Nintendo needed additional time to evaluate the potential impact of tariffs and shifting market conditions.

In a recent update on its official website, Nintendo stated that while the base price of the Switch 2 remains unchanged, certain accessories will undergo price adjustments compared to the figures shared during the April 2 announcement. These changes are attributed to evolving market dynamics. The company also noted that future price adjustments for any Nintendo product may occur depending on ongoing market conditions.

Despite accessory fluctuations, key bundle and game pricing will stay consistent at launch. The Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle will be available for $499.99, while the standalone physical and digital editions of Mario Kart World will retail for $79.99.
