Internal retail docs have revealed a surprising start date for the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order period, and you may have to act quickly.

Best Buy Canada has just confirmed the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order date, and it's in less than a week. You best get prepared.

Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 will open on Wednesday, April 2 — if you believe retailer Best Buy Canada, which announced that pre-order date in a blog post (and then quickly pulled it) on Thursday.

Before yesterday's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo was adamant that no news about the Switch 2 would be revealed during the presentation, but the aftermath of one of its more surprising announcements may have given away a crucial bit of information about the next console and the games we can expect to play on it.

The fine print on a new Nintendo website just revealed the existence of "Nintendo Switch 2 Editions" for games.

Today’s Nintendo Direct didn’t officially include any news about the Switch 2. However, the company’s new Virtual Game Card feature has revealed that some old Switch games might get enhanced or improved ports that will only be playable on Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 console.
