How to Preorder Nintendo Switch 2: All Store Links

Whatever the price, Nintendo Switch 2 preorders are certain to sell out fast.

The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct event is on April 2, and there are a lot of questions about Nintendo’s next console that will be answered. Some info was leaked early about the Switch 2, which could give some insights into what to expect during the stream.

Nintendo’s Switch 2 unveiling in January didn’t provide much beyond the look of the new console. There were mentions of the backward compatible feature and hands-on events for the public to try out the console, which will be happening worldwide, starting in New York on April 4.

Preorders aren’t open yet, and no release date has been set, but information and rumors about the launch have trickled out since Nintendo’s announcements.

Here’s what you need to know about Nintendo Switch 2 preorders.

Where can I preorder the Switch 2?

No retailer has made preorders available yet, but the links could go up on April 9, as leaked, or maybe even sooner. Here’s what the major retailers have for their Switch 2 pages, as of Wednesday morning. We’ll be keeping these preorder links updated so bookmark this page to not miss out on Nintendo Switch 2 preorders.

On Tuesday a user on X posted what could be a preorder deal from GameStop for trading in an older Switch. The video game retailer typically has trade-in deals for older consoles when newer ones are released.

Here is @gamestop‘s Switch 2 trade in deal. What you get as credit when you trade in your console. Let’s say Switch 2 is $399.00, plus 6.5% tax(FL) Comes out to $424.93. If you trade in an OLED, you would pay $249.93 for your new Switch 2. Thoughts? pic.twitter.com/hUIXNc94BX

When can I preorder the Switch 2?

Nintendo hasn’t provided a date for preorders, and it will likely happen after the stream on April 2. The question is how soon after the stream.

A now-deleted blog post from Best Buy Canada, posted on March 27, had a date of April 2 for when preorders for the Switch would be available, according to a tweet on X. The post appeared not to have mentioned the release date or the price of the Switch 2.

Another report says Switch 2 preorders will happen on April 9, a week after the reveal event. According to Insider Gaming, this date is based on documents and emails from a US retailer. Again, no price was listed.

How much will the Switch 2 cost?

That’s another detail Nintendo has yet to announce. The original Switch launched at $299, but considering the Switch OLED currently costs $350, it’s unlikely the Switch 2 will go for less.

Some Nintendo analysts are now predicting a price point of $399 to $499 for the Nintendo Switch 2, according to a Bloomberg report. The analysts expect the Switch 2 chip itself to cost the company between $130 and $150.

When will the Switch 2 be released?

The report on the April 9 Switch 2 preorder date also had a release schedule for June. The aforementioned Bloomberg report also indicates that the new Switch 2 will be released to the public in June 2025, with inventory projected at 6 million to 8 million consoles. Good luck getting your hands on one.

Verum Mail: Temporary Email for Those Who Value Privacy in the Digital Age

In a world where every click can leave a digital trace, more and more users are looking for ways to protect their personal information. Online registrations, file downloads, trial services — all of these typically require providing an email address. And then the familiar scenario begins: endless newsletters, spam, ads, and data leaks.

The new app Verum Mail offers a simple and elegant solution to this problem — anonymous, temporary email without registration or digital footprints.

What is Verum Mail

Verum Mail is a mobile app that allows users to create temporary email addresses with a single tap. Messages arrive instantly, appear in a clean, user-friendly interface, and are automatically deleted after 60 minutes.

No registration, no logins, no account linking — everything is anonymous and secure.

It’s particularly useful when you need to:

sign up for a new service without revealing your real email,
receive a one-time code or confirmation link,
test a product or service without leaving a trace.

Key Features of Verum Mail

One-tap creation of a temporary email address
Instant delivery of incoming messages without refreshing
Automatic deletion after 60 minutes
Option to reply directly within the app
Support for both HTML and plain text
Push notifications for new messages
Responsive interface for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets

Integration with Verum Messenger

One of the major advantages of the Verum Messenger is its seamless integration with Verum Mail. Users can now create temporary email addresses and receive messages directly inside the messenger.

This is especially convenient for anyone frequently signing up for services or who prefers not to share their primary email.

Fewer app switches mean more control over privacy.

Why It Matters

The growing number of cyberattacks, data breaches, and targeted advertising has made digital security a necessity rather than a luxury. Temporary email addresses are a simple but powerful tool for reducing risk and maintaining control over personal information.

Verum Mail is not just about hiding your real email. It’s about adopting a more mindful and secure approach to your online life.
