Update: Switch 2 Preorders at GameStop: Announcement, Inclusive Catalogs, and Refreshing the Mobile App

April 24th is an update. The company has sold out of its initial pre-order inventory. We’ve reached out to GameStop, and we’ll update this post if we receive confirmation.

If you just want the standalone console, you’ll be able to preorder the Switch 2 for $449.99 at GameStop when online preorders open today, April 24th, at 11AM ET / 8AM PT. You can also place a preorder in-store whenever your local brick-and-mortar GameStop location opens.

If you’ve been eyeing the new Mario Kart game, you’ll probably want Nintendo’s limited release Switch 2 bundle. The online and in-store availability of the Mario kart world bundle is the same as the standard console, but they will open it at 11AM on April 24th. You’ll get a $30 discount on a digital copy of Mario Kart World if you bundle it with the bundle. In addition to Mario Kart World and a Switch 2, the bundle includes all the accessories that come with the standard configuration, such as Joy-Con 2 controllers, a dock, and the required HDMI cable.

The Mario Kart World bundle, which Best Buy is no longer accepting online, will be accepted in-store on April 24th at the start of regular store hours. What’s more, if you do manage to reserve a console through Best Buy, the retailer has announced that most stores in the US will open at 12AM ET, 11PM CT, 10PM MT, and 9PM PT on June 5th for preorder pickup.

Keep at it (for a time): Just because a product is listed as “sold out” on a landing page doesn’t necessarily mean’s it’s completely out of stock. Availability will often fluctuate during big preorder events, meaning it’s still a good idea to routinely refresh the page — as long as you’re not in an active queue — and double-check the mobile app for updated availability.

My Best Buy Plus or Total: Get $275 off $125 off a Switch 2$, and Get $25 off $175 off the Switch 2

When you trade in a Switch 2, you will get $175 off a Switch 2, or $125 off a regular Switch, if you want to reduce the cost. You will need everything that comes with your console in both instances, specifically the Switch, its dock, and two Joy-Con controllers. GameStop also confirmed to Gizmodo that exact valuation will depend on the condition of your console, including whether your Joy-Cons are experiencing the dreaded stick drift.

If you’re a member of My Best Buy Plus or Total, you can score $20 in credit for every $150 you spend on games and Nintendo gear, including Switch and Switches 2 hardware. You’ll be able to get that privilege at either of the two memberships, and they grant you access to a number of exclusive perks.

The standalone Switch 2 comes with a pair of Joy-Con 2 controllers, which magnetically attach to the console, and feature a new “C-button” — a shortcut to Nintendo’s new in-game chat feature, GameChat. Inside the box, you’ll also find a redesigned dock, a basic Joy-Con grip, Joy-Con wrist straps, an AC adapter, a USB-C charging capable, and an HDMI cable.
