Nintendo was planning to have Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders up and running in North America starting 9th April, but thanks to Donald Trump’s now revoked global tariffs the Kyoto-based company decided to delay pre-orders for the highly-anticipated console. Fast forward to today and the My Nintendo Store has updated its site to say that a selection of Nintendo Switch Online members will be invited to pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2 in May with the email invites going out on 8th May. It seems likely that other retailers will also begin their pre-orders around then, similar to how its worked out elsewhere in the world.
“The first batch of invitations will go out starting May 8, 2025, with additional batches of invitation emails sent periodically until purchasing on My Nintendo Store is opened to everyone.”
