Nintendo’s first round of Switch 2 preorder invites go out on May 8th, 2025, giving you 72 hours to place an order — so sign in now to register your interest. To qualify, you must have logged at least 50 hours of gameplay on the original Switch and have purchased at least a 12-month Switch Online membership as of April 2.

Towards the bottom of the page, you can register your interest in pre-ordering a console. You must log in with your Nintendo account and select whether you want to pre-order the Mario Kart bundle or just the console (you can't change your mind once you've locked in).

Right now, your best hope might be to order through Nintendo itself, as the console maker says it'll start accepting pre-orders at its My Nintendo Store on Thursday, May 8. That said, the company is only offering the Switch 2 through an invite system.
