Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders to begin on April 24th with console price unchanged, accessory price increase

The day many Nintendo fans in North America have been waiting for is here… the announcement of a pre-order date for the Nintendo Switch 2. Well it’s officially April 24th, 2025, and Nintendo at this time also confirmed that the console and bundle pricing will remain as announced at $449.99/$499.99, along with the games, including Mario Kart World ($79.99) and Donkey Kong Bananza ($69.99).

What may be variable though is the Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, which Nintendo has revealed “will experience price adjustments from those announced on April 2”. So those Switch 2 Joy-Cons and Pro Controllers, Camera and Dock will end up costing just a little bit more thanks to “market conditions” (aka Trump Tariffs).
