All about Nintendo Switch 2

The leak about the preorder and release date was reportedly posted by Best Buy Canada. According to the leaks in their blog post, the preorder will be on April 2, 2025, and the release date of the gaming console will be in June 2025!

Aside from the preorder and release date leaks (all thanks to Best Buy Canada), Nintendo also announced Direct and Today—the former featuring upcoming games and the latter being a smartphone app that will provide updates and news about the Switch 2 directly to your phone!


Leaks like these can make a gamer's dreams come true! In the Switch 2's case, the leaks are somewhat surprising because— 1) the alleged pre-order is less than a week, and 2) it's sooner than what we expected! But either way, we're going to buy the Switch 2 because we love the big update of the gaming console and we're excited for its new features and new games!
