Rumors surrounding the new Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order date have been circulating. Initially set for April 9 in the US, but delayed due to the impact of Trump’s tariffs. The pre-order period may start on May 8 according to some listings, however, no official word has been given by Nintendo yet.
Target might have leaked a potential new pre-order date. According to Wario64, April 30, 2025, could be the actual launch date in the US. However, there are red flags surrounding this date, such as it being the last day of the month and the midnight PT/3 a.m. ET start time.
The timing does align with Nintendo’s plans to delay pre-orders by one week after the Switch 2 Direct at the top of the month. However, it remains unclear if this is a placeholder or an actual leaked date from Target. For now, no official confirmation has been made by Nintendo.
