The Nintendo Switch 2 release in New Jersey was supposed to happen this month, but it was delayed due to Trump's tariffs. Here's what we know.

Nintendo's official guide page on how to buy the Switch 2 says, "The first batch of invitations will go out starting May 8, 2025," and "additional batches of invitation emails sent periodically until purchasing on My Nintendo Store is opened to everyone."

While it’s possible that Nintendo has done everything in its power to ensure that it can meet demand, it seems likely still that Switch 2 pre-orders may be tough to secure ahead of its launch. We’ll have more details when Nintendo shares them on the big day.
