Best Buy isn't taking Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders yet, but the retailer is allowing you to register your interest in the console. This is completely free and means you'll be contacted when there is more information available. If you're already sold on the Switch 2, it's worth signing up as the console could sell out quickly.

After months of speculation, Nintendo finally confirmed the Switch 2 this week with a teaser video that featured a hardware sneak peek. We got a brief glimpse at the next Mario Kart, but details about launch titles aren't expected until later this year.

The announcement doesn’t come as a surprise—especially in the wake of CES 2025, where several peripheral makers were bold enough to display replicas of the unrevealed hardware to showcase their Switch 2 accessories—but you might be shocked at just how closely the upcoming Switch 2 sticks to the form and function of its predecessor.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Experience is coming to cities all over the world, to give people a chance to play on the next-gen console.

After months of rumors, Nintendo has officially announced the Switch 2, and perhaps the biggest surprise is how unsurprising it is. I’m not just speaking about the leaks, which have proven to be largely accurate.
