When do you think Nintendo Switch 2 will be available for pre-order online? And where can I pre-order it?
Honestly, having been through every hardware launch cycle for the last decade, I've learned to be pretty cautious with these early pre-order windows. When I grabbed my current setup on launch day, I realized later that the first batch of SoCs usually has the most unoptimized thermal profiles before they refine the manufacturing process. From a technical perspective, it's always better to wait for the official hardware breakdown after the first wave of pre-orders ships. I remember my original unit had some minor issues with the screen laminate that got fixed in the later hardware revisions anyway. Basically, the pre-order usually goes live within minutes of the official specs reveal, but you're definately signing up to be a beta tester for the new architecture. I'd keep an eye on the major retailers right after the official Direct stream, but just keep in mind that launch-day silicon sometimes has its quirks compared to the mid-cycle refreshes we see later on.
Wait several weeks before Nintendo announce the price.
When will Amazon accept pre-orders?
