Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are stirring excitement as customers report early shipping confirmations from Walmart.

With the official release date locked for June 5, many fans didn’t expect to see shipment emails so soon. However, Reddit and other platforms are buzzing with posts showing Walmart pre-orders preparing to ship.

During April’s chaotic pre-order window, many retailers faced system overloads and technical issues. Walmart was no exception, canceling some orders due to internal problems. Still, recent email confirmations suggest that several orders are now on the move. Walmart customers, like Reddit user secat93 said they received updates indicating that their Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are set for dispatch.

Customers who locked in their orders should check their emails and bank statements. Walmart has started charging payment methods, confirming that the shipping process is underway for some buyers. Depending on your location, your console may arrive on launch day—or a couple of days later.

Midnight launches and regional inventory limits

Retailers like GameStop and Best Buy are embracing midnight launches to handle the high demand. Meanwhile, boxes of Switch 2 units have already started arriving in stores, tightly secured in caged pallets. These will only be released to customers starting June 5.

Walmart has listed local inventory numbers online, giving users a glimpse of how many consoles each store may carry. However, stock availability varies by region, so customers are encouraged to check their specific location for details. The demand is real, and so is the competition.

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders overwhelm global markets

As U.S. buyers report early shipments, gamers in other parts of the world aren’t as lucky. A recent survey from Japan highlights that many hopeful buyers still haven’t secured a console. Pre-orders were filled rapidly, leaving thousands without a guaranteed unit on release day.

Nintendo may be facing production bottlenecks due to immense global demand. Still, launch titles like Mario Kart World and free hardware upgrades for titles like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet keep the hype at peak levels. Whether you’ve pre-ordered or are hunting a day-one unit, the Nintendo Switch 2 is easily 2025’s most anticipated gaming release.

When will Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders from Walmart arrive?

Most customers who pre-ordered the Switch 2 from Walmart should expect their consoles to arrive on or just after June 5, the official release date. However, some users have reported receiving shipping confirmation emails early. This suggests that Walmart is beginning to dispatch units ahead of time, possibly to offset delays caused by high demand. Depending on your location and the shipping method used, delivery could range from June 5 to a few days later. Always check your email and payment method to track your order status.

What should I do if my Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order was canceled by Walmart?

Some pre-orders were canceled due to technical issues during Walmart’s high-traffic pre-order window in April. If your order was canceled, the best course of action is to check Walmart’s site for launch-day availability. You might still be able to secure a unit in-store or online if your local branch has stock. Alternatively, other retailers like GameStop and Best Buy will have launch stock, especially during midnight releases. It’s crucial to act quickly, as demand is expected to remain high.

Are other regions getting Nintendo Switch 2 consoles on launch day?

While the U.S. seems to be on track for a strong launch, regions like Japan may face shortages. A recent survey revealed that many Japanese consumers still haven’t secured a pre-order. Nintendo may be facing logistical and supply challenges in meeting global demand. If you’re outside the U.S., check with local retailers and watch for updates. Many countries will have staggered shipments and restocks throughout the coming weeks.

What games come with the Nintendo Switch 2 at launch?

The Nintendo Switch 2 will launch with exciting exclusive titles such as Mario Kart World, and fan-favorite games like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will receive free upgrades to take advantage of the new console’s power. These enhancements promise smoother gameplay and better visuals. The Switch 2 is shaping up to deliver both new experiences and improved versions of older classics. For gamers eager to explore the system’s full potential, the launch lineup offers plenty to enjoy.
