Preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 have opened at GameStop, providing another chance to secure Nintendo’s latest console ahead of its launch on June 5th.
Most major retailers launched their Nintendo Switch 2 preorders at 12AM ET on April 24th and sold out quickly — but thankfully, GameStop is doing things a bit differently. The company says it’s kicking off in-store preorders when the “doors open” today, and online preorders for the $449.
99 standalone console and the $499.99 Mario Kart World bundle are now available. Here’s what you should know if you want to be among the first to get the Switch 2 when it launches on June 5th. The standalone Switch 2 comes with a pair of Joy-Con 2 controllers, which magnetically attach to the console and feature Nintendo’s new “C” button — a shortcut that allows you to access Nintendo’s new in-game chat feature, GameChat. Inside the box, you’ll also find a redesigned dock, a basic Joy-Con grip, Joy-Con wrist straps, an AC adapter, a USB-C charging cable, and an HDMI cable. If you want the standalone console, it’s currently available for preorder at GameStop. You can also place an in-store preorder whenever your local brick-and-mortar GameStop location opens . If you’ve been eyeing the new Mario Kart game, you’ll likely want the Switch 2 bundle, which Nintendo says will be available for a limited time through the fall . Like the standard console, GameStop has opened online preorders for the $499.99 Mario Kart World bundle, with in-store reservations available at brick-and-mortar stores starting today. In addition to a digital copy of Mario Kart World, which retails for $79.99 on its own, the bundle includes all the accessories that come with the standalone console.
