Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders will start on the same day as the Switch 2 Direct, April 2, according to an official blog post recently released by Best Buy Canada. Update: Best Buy has now taken this blog post down.

Right now, the main things we know about the Switch 2 hardware that distinguish it from the original Switch are that it's bigger and has more horsepower inside. The widespread expectation is that it will be roughly as powerful as a PlayStation 4 Pro or maybe even a Steam Deck, possibly with the ability to upscale games to 4K using DLSS technology.
