Following a brief delay from the tariff policy of the Trump administration, Nintendo has finally opened pre -orders for Switch 2. The gamestop is still accepting reservation, giving gamers a chance to secure the upcoming console of Nintendo before its release on 5 June.

Are Switch 2 configurations available?

It is also worth noting that prices can change the line. Nintendo has recently increased the price of switch 2 joy-con and pro controller in response to US tariff, and said “other adjustments for the price of any nintendo product are also possible based on future market conditions.” The initial price of Nintendo Switch 2 is unchanged, but at this point, it seems that the only way to guarantee the console at $ 449.99 is to buy one at the launch.
