Preordering the Nintendo Switch 2 with Gamechat and Screen Protector at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart and Best Buy in the U.S.

Prices on several Switch 2 accessories have gone up due to President Trump’s on-again, off-again tariffs. There’s no telling whether we can expect more price hikes down the line, either, meaning if you do manage to preorder a Switch 2 and want to pick up a second controller or another accessory to go with it, now might be the time to act.

A pair of Joy-Con 2 controllers are attached to the console, and have a button called the “C-button.” Gamechat can be used to chat with other players. 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.

If you plan on picking up the new Mario Kart World, the Joy-Con 2 Wheels are worth a look. Attach the Joy-Con 2 controllers to the steering wheel attachment before playing a racing title. The two-wheel set is currently available for preorder starting at $24.88 from Walmart, Best Buy, and Target.

If you are going to invest in the Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case and Screen Protector, it is a good idea to keep your expensive device safe. We’ll likely see third-party brands release their own version in the coming weeks, but Nintendo’s proprietary offering is likely to be one of the few available at launch.

The bundle — which includes a console-only carrying case, screen protector, and cleaning cloth — is available for preorder for $39.99 from Best Buy and Target.

GameStop is offering pre-orders for the Nintendo Wii U and Switch 2 Consoles at $449.99 in Store and at Store (and Beyond)

Nintendo offers its own solution for video chatting using the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, but it is also possible to use a compatibleUSB-C camera. The 1080p camera is designed to sit on a stand, allowing you to display your face as a picture-in-picture overlay or as a dedicated video feed. Some titles allow you to see your friends while you play. Some mini-games even incorporate the camera into the game experience itself.

A wide-angle lens, as well as a high-sensitivity image sensor, is included in the camera. It also features a built-in privacy shutter and includes a USB-C charging cable, as well as support for TV, tabletop, and handheld modes.

You can pre-order the Nintendo Wii U console for $449.99 at GameStop today, April 24th, at 11AM. If your local GameStop location opens, you can place a pre-order at the store.

You probably want a Nintendo bundle if you are interested in the new Mario Kart game. Like the standard console, GameStop will open online preorders for the $499.99 Mario Kart World bundle today, April 24th, at 11AM ET / 8AM PT, with in-store availability starting when locations open today. The bundle will save you $30 on a digital copy of Mario Kart World, which retails for $79.99 on its own, and will only be available through fall 2025 (or while supplies last). 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.
