Nintendo Switch 2: Where to Preorder

When preordering, you have two main options: the Nintendo Switch 2 ($449.99) or the Nintendo Switch 2: Mario Kart World bundle ($499.99). Let us know in the comments if you successfully locked in your order.

Which Should You Buy?

If you're purchasing at launch, the Mario Kart World Bundle is the clear winner in value. For just $50 more than the base console, you get Mario Kart World—a $79.99 title—saving you $30 compared to buying it separately. Plus, the bundle is a limited-time release, making it the most sought-after version.
