Nintendo confirmed last week that the Nintendo Switch 2 preorders are happening soon. The good news is that the Switch 2 price remains unchanged despite tariffs, which means you’re two days away from spending $449.99 or $499.99 for the new handheld. The latter is the better deal as it gives you access to Mario Kart World for $30 off the game’s regular price.
You might need all the savings you can get. Mario Kart World will cost $80, the same price as before Trump’s tariffs, but plenty of Switch 2 accessories are getting price hikes.
Nintendo is certainly ready to start Switch presales in the US ahead of the console’s June 5th release date, and the Japanese gaming giant has begun promoting the new console in the best possible way. The company brought back Paul Rudd for a Switch 2 commercial, a brilliant callback to the 1991 SNES ad featuring the actor.
