Nintendo Switch 2 Preorders, 4K Blu-rays Launch

Author: Adam Jan 06,2026

I woke up to the kind of news that makes skipping breakfast seem reasonable. GameStop is opening pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 at 11 a.m. EST / 8 a.m. PST.

It’s already sold out everywhere else, thanks to a midnight launch at other major retailers. This is one of the last places you can snag one, and even then, you'll need to be quick.

The $499.99 bundle includes Mario Kart World, a solid title to break in the new hardware. Pre-orders go live at 8 a.m. PST, so your best move is to clear your schedule.

On a different note, Amazon is running an excellent deal on 4K Blu-rays. You can grab three titles for $33, and the selection is surprisingly good, including hits like Blade Runner: Final Cut, Inception, and E.T. If you prefer to actually own the movies you love, this sale is worth a look.

GameStop is one of the last major retailers offering pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 this morning. The $499.99 bundle includes the console and Mario Kart World, the perfect game to show off its new capabilities. Pre-orders begin at 8 a.m. PST, and given how quickly other retailers sold out, these are unlikely to last long. You can also find the standalone Nintendo Switch 2 console, launch games, and plenty of accessories available right now. Here are my top picks:
