However, the same communications indicate that pre-orders will begin on April 9, a week after a special Nintendo Direct event scheduled for April 2, where more details about the console, its release date, and the games available at launch will be provided.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you are waiting for the presale right after the Direct ends, you will still have to wait<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the retailer&#8217;s documents, during the Nintendo Direct it will be mentioned that pre-orders will be &#8220;coming soon,&#8221; revealing a countdown that will culminate on April 9. <strong>This retailer, whose identity has not been disclosed by Insider Gaming, also plans to offer an &#8220;exclusive collectible coin&#8221; for those who make the pre-order<\/strong>. Given the anticipation of fans, the retailer estimates that it will sell out its allocation of consoles on the first day, due to a &#8220;limited allocation&#8221; provided by Nintendo.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nintendo Switch 2 \u2013 V\u00eddeo del primer vistazo\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PR5XF8O4AlA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However,<strong> the date of April 9 contrasts with a recent leak from Best Buy Canada, which had announced that pre-orders would begin on the same day as the Nintendo Direct, that is, April 2<\/strong>. This post has since been removed.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of when the pre-sales finally open, enthusiasts won&#8217;t have to wait long to receive official information from the Nintendo event. <strong>Meanwhile, speculation surrounds Nintendo&#8217;s plans, including that the new console will be able to convert digital game purchases into Virtual Cards that will be shared between consoles and accounts within the same family plan<\/strong>. Additionally, a report suggests that the Switch 2&#8217;s game lineup will be released in three phases, starting with first-party titles in June, followed by greater third-party support in the fall, and a second wave during the holiday season.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Nintendo Switch Online\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/0d8aa053-f44a-4256-ab5f-47f15b065e51\/1332576485\/nintendo-switch-online-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Nintendo Switch Online<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/nintendo-switch-online.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/nintendo-switch-online.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new report generates uncertainty regarding when pre-orders for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 will open at major retailers.
