“Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged,” a representative of the company said in a comment to CNBC.

Amazon is now taking Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order invite registrations. You'll need to hit the "Request Invite" button on the page to put your name in the hat, but doing so doesn't guarantee a pre-order or even a slot in the first wave. It is a necessary step to getting into the mix at all, though.
