Nintendo has exciting news for gamers: the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 preorders will kick off on April 9 in the United States and April 8 in the UK. The new console, fully unveiled today, will hit the shelves on June 5, 2025, with a price tag of $449.99. For fans looking for an even better deal, there's a Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle priced at $499.99, available from launch day. This bundle includes the system and a download code for the Mario Kart World game. If you prefer to buy Mario Kart World separately, be prepared to spend $79.99.
