The Nintendo Switch 2 finally became available to preorder in the US this week, and as expected, it looks sold out for now. That'll change over time, but it's unclear when, or how, and it's equally unclear what the constant tariff fluctuations might do to future game console pricing.

The launch of Nintendo Switch 2 preorders turned into digital chaos overnight. Preorders for the new gaming system officially opened at midnight ET across several major retailers, leaving buyers frustrated as websites crashed and inventory vanished within minutes.

The Nintendo Switch 2, which sold out its preorders the first day they were available, will come out June 5 with a $449.99 price tag.
