Where can we expect to be able to preorder switch 2?

Who are the usual culprits that tend to be pretty viable? Best buy? Target? Walmart? Amazon? Etc

Haven't had to preorder a new condo in awhile, and I would like to have an account ready, with credit card info already good to go in advanced. So I'm curious where you think we might be able to reliably preorder
 
I guess Tommorrow will be up for preorder.
Edit: Oops you said where and not when, my bad.
Amazon for sure.

some sites say tomorrow during or after the Direct, some say on April 9th.

Edit: I read "when", I got my day one SW from Amazon, I'll try to get one from them again.

It's gonna be a battle no matter what. Plan to do the same as I did with PS5 and right after the direct have all my usual retail sites open and logged in, then I just go between tabs refreshing until the first one updates. Best Buy was the winner that time.
 
I'll probably do an order on Amazon if they have them or in person GameStop. Preordered the PS5 the day they became open and have no trouble even with the fiasco that occurred during that. Same with the series x.
 
I thought Amazon and Nintendo dont have the best relations. Seems i have had trouble preordering from them in the past.
Amazon is my first choice though
 
It's going to be a shit show, the PS5 needed a fucking lottery at a large retailer here (coolblue.nl) to "have a chance to buy".
 
I'm going GameStop route for this.

Don't want to deal with Amazon not shipping on time or some shit.

If there's a "must play" launch title im taking work off for it. Need to be able to pick up then get home balls out.
 
Though, I'd prefer to order at an actual Best Buy store, that way I don't have to wait for the delivery person to drop it off, I'm gonna try my luck at bestbuy.com and amazon.com
 
I'm not gonna pre-order because I'm not from US and I have to see which retailers have it a best price here. I'll prob gonna pay like $600 for it if its MSRP is $400, I'm on Latinamerica so the craze here is gonna be less because it's a very expensive thing, but I hope to have a close to Day 1 as possible.
 
Everywhere, and then off to eBay with that.

Naw, StockX over eBay. eBay has too many scammers and is way too noisy. StockX will have an actual single link for ALL Switch 2 sales, and let you bid whatever you want, and verify you're getting what the seller claims before you get it (they receive the seller's item and inspect it before sending it to you).

Nintendo sent me this today.

On behalf of the My Nintendo Store team, thank you for registering your interest to purchase the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system from Nintendo.

We wanted to let you know that you're still in the queue to purchase, and to share with you a handful of updates on what to expect.



What happens now



There's nothing you need to do right now.

The first invitations to purchase through the My Nintendo Store have begun going out. Invitations will continue to go out periodically until all eligible registrants receive an opportunity to purchase (as they become available). Due to a high number of registrations, we can't provide exact timing on when you can expect to receive your invitation.

When it's your turn, we'll send you an email inviting you to shop.

If you pre-order or purchase Nintendo Switch 2 from a retailer and later receive an invitation to purchase Nintendo Switch 2 from My Nintendo Store, you are not required to purchase the system from My Nintendo Store.



When to expect your invitation



We do have a lot of registrations and apologize that we can't provide exact timing. Rest assured that we'll continue sending invitations past the system's launch date.



How to spot your invitation





  • The invitation will come from no-reply@noa.nintendo.com. Please be sure to add this email address to your safe sender list and check your inbox's Junk, Spam, or Promotions folder.
  • The invitation email will be from "Nintendo."
  • The subject line will include "It's your time to purchase" as well as your choice of system you selected when registering.

One thing to note: Once you receive the invitation email, you'll have 72 hours to complete your purchase from when you receive the email, so be ready to act quickly!
