In exciting news for U.S. gamers, Nintendo has officially set the preorder date for the much-anticipated Switch 2. After weeks of speculation fueled by tariff discussions, we now know that U.S. preorders will kick off on April 24th, a Thursday.
As shared by Nintendo today, the pricing details stand at $449.99 for the system by itself, while the bundle including the digital version of Mario Kart World will be priced at $499.99. These numbers might be familiar to you as they were previously disclosed and, for now, remain unchanged.
However, with the ever-changing landscape, Nintendo has pointed out that certain accessory costs will see an uptick. For instance, the Switch 2 Pro Controller’s MSRP has increased to $84.99, and a set of Switch 2 Joy-Cons now carries a $94.99 price tag, reflecting a $5 hike for each. If you’re eyeing an additional dock set, it’ll now set you back $119.99, which is $10 more than before. Meanwhile, should you need extra Joy-Con straps, anticipate an extra dollar than previously at $13.99. Across the board, several other accessories have similarly seen a $5 rise. For gamers eager to know, a comprehensive list of hardware MSRPs, along with the confirmed prices for Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, is included with this article.
On the Canadian side of things, it’s expected that preorders will commence concurrently, although confirmation isn’t set to happen today due to a national holiday. Nevertheless, Nintendo of Canada has assured that the preorder date and Canadian pricing remain aligned with what’s been announced stateside.
