With the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, Nintendo surprised fans quite a bit: The console successor will be released in just a few weeks. Pre-orders are also now possible.
Shortly after the one-hour presentation of the Nintendo Switch 2 and the first games, the console already appeared on Amazon, but wasn't yet available for pre-order. That has since changed. The successor is officially available in stores in Germany and can be pre-ordered there for prices between €469,99 and €509,99.
Listed is the Nintendo Switch 2 is now available at stores including Mediamarkt, Saturn, Coolblue, and Amazon. The online shopping giant has a special feature: You have to sign up for an invitation link, which you receive after account verification. This link is then valid for just under a day to complete the pre-order. Amazon cannot predict how long the wait will be in individual cases – depending on the number of pre-orderers, some patience may be required. Overall, it can be worthwhile for fans to visit stores and compare prices – in some cases, the purchase of the console is tied to the purchase of accessories.
Nintendo Switch 2: Pre-order still possible
Pre-orders have been open for a few hours now, and retailers are still accepting requests. The quantities are apparently generous—or are fans ultimately put off by the price? It's surprisingly high, even though the increased material costs, among other things, have already suggested a significant increase.
If you want to start playing right away, you can do so with the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle, which includes a console and a download code for Mario Kart World and will be available from the launch of Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. Other publishers have already announced that their titles will be available on launch day, such as Hogwart's Legacy from WB Games.
The Nintendo Switch 2 comes with new features, including a large 7,9-inch LCD screen that supports Full HD 1080p resolution and is the same thickness as the Nintendo Switch screen. "Even on the go, Nintendo Switch 2 offers vivid, detailed gameplay and fluid graphics that capture character movement and diverse expressions," Nintendo writes.
