When Nintendo first unveiled the Switch 2 via a short teaser video in January, it felt the need to include a few seconds of footage of exactly one new video game running on the console: a new Mario Kart. This will be, numerically speaking, the ninth one, but it's very possible Nintendo calls it something other than Mario Kart 9.

On March 27, Best Buy Canada published a (now deleted) blog post stating that Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders will drop on April 2. That follows the timeline set out by the previous handheld's launch exactly, giving us good reason to hope for early orders tomorrow.

GameStop will offer up to a $175 trade-in credit when you trade-in your old Switch for the Switch 2, according to X user MikeOdysseyYT and as reported by sister site TechRadar. That's one of the first Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders deals I've seen.
