Nintendo Switch 2 preorders start April 2nd, according to Best Buy Canada
Best Buy in Canada has confirmed the company will open pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 on April 2nd so that customers have the chance to secure their console early. Best Buy hasn’t said what time the preorders will open; however, it’s on the same day as the Nintendo Direct presentation that’s all about the new Switch 2, which starts at 9 AM ET / 6 AM PT.
Nintendo opened the first Nintendo Switch preorders immediately following a presentation in January 2017, and you had to physically go to a Best Buy or Target to secure a preorder before its launch on March 3rd, 2017. US retailers, including Best Buy, have yet to confirm they will have preorders ready for the Switch 2 after the presentation.
Nintendo revealed the looks and minimal details about the Nintendo Switch 2 console in January. Some of the most significant information we know about the Switch 2 is that it has a larger screen, is backwards compatible with Switch 1 games, and has magnetically attached Joy-Cons (that will probably have mouse-like control abilities). Nintendo has set up nationwide events running from April through May for customers to try the system. However, all tickets have been given out so you must join a waitlist at this point. The Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to launch this June.
