PSA: Target will open online orders for the Switch 2 on June 6th

Depending on where you are in the US, it hasn’t been easy to grab a Nintendo Switch 2 (though, our own David Pierce would disagree). In-store and online stock has sold out at most participating retailers, but Target is offering another opportunity, specifically for online shoppers, starting in the “early morning” hours of June 6th. I realize the ambiguity isn’t helpful to those trying to plan their day, but it’s all that Target has shared so far. We’ve reached out to a Target representative to ask for a specific time, and we’ll update this post if we receive any helpful information.

According to Target’s product pages, the retailer will have stock of the standalone Switch 2 console for $449.99 and the Mario Kart World bundle for $499.99, along with various games and accessories.

As for when you can expect to see a Switch 2 review on The Verge, stay tuned. Nintendo decided to hold off on releasing consoles to the press until launch day, so many of our staff members have only just set up their consoles. We’ll spend a couple of days with the new hardware, games, and accessories and let you know what we think as soon as we can.
