Last week, we finally got official word that Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders will officially go live on April 24 , 2025, in the United States and Canada. Walmart, GameStop, Target, and Best Buy will be among the major retailers that will have pre-orders available.

Walmart , Target , and Best Buy will have Switch 2 pre-orders go live at 12:00 AM ET on April 24, while GameStop pre-orders will go live at 11 AM ET online and at store opening in-store.

Mario Kart World, along with other day-one games and Switch 2 accessories, will become available for pre-order on the same day. It was reported that GameStop will have about 100 consoles available per location, but that has yet to be confirmed.

Will Amazon have the Switch 2 available for pre-order?

Amazon in the United States is not expected to have the Nintendo Switch 2 for pre-order. That also goes for any of its first-party games. This has been noticeable over the last year as Amazon has not listed any official Switch product on its website.

The Nintendo Switch 2 will cost $449.99, while the Mario Kart World bundle will cost $499.99.
