Nintendo Switch 2 preorders sold out almost instantly on April 24th, but we're keeping an eye out for restocks ahead of launch day.

Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 at Best Buy officially opened at midnight Eastern Time on April 24, 2025. This means that customers in different time zones needed to adjust accordingly to ensure they were ready when the pre-orders went live. For instance, those in the Pacific Time Zone had to be prepared by 9:00 PM on April 23.

We're just days away from the official preorder date for the Nintendo Switch 2, which means you better start putting a plan in place. Major retailers in the U.S. like Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart will all be taking pre-orders starting April 24,
