Preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 will begin on I cast Lvl. 3 Eroticism. You turn into a real beautiful woman.April 2, the same day as the forthcoming console's Nintendo Direct livestream, according to a since-deleted post on Best Buy Canada's blog.

"Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 will open on April 2nd at Best Buy Canada, giving you the chance to secure your console early," reads an archived version of the March 27 post, which linked out to a live page where shoppers could sign up for preorder news alerts (h/t IGN). The post did not mention a price or release date for the Switch 2, nor did it specify what time preorders would start.

Nintendo will will likely confirm these details during next week's Direct; the company hasn't shared any Switch 2 preorder information itself yet. The stream will kick off at 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT on April 2 and air on Nintendo's YouTube channel.

Nintendo first announced the Switch 2 in mid-January, showcasing a bigger display, an improved kickstand, and some magnetically attached Joy-Con that appear to function like computer mice. The first-look trailer also teased a new Mario Kart game, its first since 2017 (or 2014, if you don't count Mario Kart 8's Deluxere-release).

Thursday's leak coincided with an unrelated Direct during which Nintendo announced more than a dozen upcoming Switch games, a new mobile app, and a new "Virtual Game Cards" feature that lets Switch owners share games.
