Best Buy has announced that the retailer will be taking pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 in the US on April 24 at 12:00 a.m. EDT on the Best Buy mobile app and BestBuy.com. Best Buy will have pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 games and accessories starting at regular store hours.
Most Best Buy stores in the US will open at 9:00 p.m. PT / 12:00 a.m. ET for pre-order pick-up on June 5. Moreover, My Best Buy Plus and Total members can get a $20 certificate for every $150 spent on Nintendo Switch 2 games and gear, for up to $100 in certificates.
Nintendo Switch 2 will launch with a $449.99 MSRP, and a bundle will be available for $499.99 featuring Mario Kart World. Similarly, pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 at Walmart and Target will also open on April 24 at 12:00 a.m. EDT. Any pre-orders made before 8:00 a.m. local time on June 4 at Walmart are eligible for free delivery by 9:00 a.m. local time on June 5.
Additionally, it was confirmed that pricing for Mario Kart World ($79.99) and Donkey Kong Bananza ($69.99) will remain unchanged at launch. However, Nintendo has increased the pricing of accessories across the board, with many raised by $5. This is seen with a Joy-Con 2 Pair priced at $94.99, or the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller for $84.99.
Moreover, Nintendo previously confirmed that Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade packs for Breath of the Wild ($69.99) and Tears of the Kingdom ($99.99) will cost $10. Although we expect other Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrades to also cost $10, pricing for upgrade packs to Super Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby and the Forgotten Land were not directly confirmed.
