Rumors suggest that Nintendo Switch 2 preorders may open on April 2nd, following a now-deleted post by Best Buy Canada, though the date remains unconfirmed.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is by far the most hotly anticipated and debated upcoming console currently. With this being the case, many fans are wondering when they will be able to buy it, as the company has yet to reveal an official release date. However, diehard Nintendo followers will be delighted to hear that they might be able to pre-order the console as early as April 2nd, if rumors are to be believed.
In a now-deleted post, Best Buy Canada explained how you can pre-order the Switch 2. The post also stated: “Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 will open on April 2nd at Best Buy Canada,” revealing the alleged date. That being said, considering the store chain deleted the post, some questions arise. Did Best Buy Canada make an error about the date? Or were they not supposed to announce it just yet?
Whatever the exact causes may be, some interesting facts may support April 2nd being the coveted date. For starters, this is he same day as the Nintendo Direct presentation that will go all about the new Switch. Speaking of the console and its stats and features, there’s ample evidence that the Switch 2 will have AI resolution upscaling.
Another detail supporting the idea of April 2nd being the date many fans have been waiting for is the fact that Nintendo has already done something similar before. Back in 2017, the company opened preorders for the first Switch right after a presentation in January of that year. You had to physically go to a Best Buy or Target to secure a preorder before its launch on March 3rd, 2017.
For now, there’s no confirmation from Best Buy or any other North American retailer about when you can pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2. Fans can now just wait and hope they’ll hear more information about the matter next week.
