Nintendo’s US store has Switch 2 games marked “Pre-order now,” but the store’s upcoming-games page also includes original Nintendo Switch titles. The available listing data does not establish a complete, verified Switch 2 preorder roster, so the titles below are examples—not an exhaustive list. Check each live listing for platform, preorder status, and release date before buying.

At the time of the latest available listing snapshot, Nintendo’s US Coming soon page showed “Pre-order now” for the titles below. The listing did not consistently expose platform association, so confirm that each individual page identifies Nintendo Switch 2 before purchasing. These examples do not represent a confirmed complete lineup.

Nintendo’s page covers both Switch 2 and original Switch games, and its listings change over time. A “Pre-order now” label on Nintendo’s store indicates an eShop preorder; it does not confirm that a physical copy is available from Amazon or another retailer. The reviewed listings did not establish retailer stock, prices, or physical preorder availability, so no physical options or prices are listed here.
How to check Nintendo’s live US preorder listings
- Open Nintendo’s US Coming soon page.
- Open a title’s individual listing and confirm that the platform is Nintendo Switch 2, not the original Nintendo Switch.
- Check that the listing currently says “Pre-order now” and note its displayed release date. Both can change.
- If you want a physical edition, check the retailer’s own listing for the exact platform, format, preorder status, price, and any edition-specific contents. Nintendo’s eShop label does not establish retailer availability or matching bonuses.
What happens when you preorder on Nintendo eShop
Nintendo says only select unreleased games and downloadable content can be preordered. According to Nintendo Support’s Nintendo eShop Pre-Order and Pre-Load FAQ, “When you pre-order content on Nintendo eShop, payment will not be processed until, at earliest, 7 days before the game is released.” After payment, the content preloads to the console. You can cancel an eShop preorder before payment is processed and preloading takes place.
#1 Best Overall
- Race from one course to another through interconnected paths that span the world
- Traverse mountains, forests, cities, and more—with shifting weather patterns and a day/night cycle
- Ride on rails, jump off walls, skim across water, and more as you race for the finish line
- Take on the adrenaline-packed Knockout Tour—a fierce 24-driver elimination mode
- Explore courses at your own pace and wander the world to discover fun surprises in Free Roam
Preloading does not let you play early: launch requires the release time and a small update. Review the individual listing and Nintendo’s support information for the current terms before placing an order.
