At 11:34AM ET, deals-hunter Wario64 posted that GameStop’s Switch 2 preorders were actually live. A few Verge staffers were then able to get a console in their cart, and one was actually able to make a purchase, but they didn’t get a confirmation email from GameStop until shortly after 1PM ET.

Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 officially went live on April 24, first with Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, and Target, but both the standalone console and the Mario Kart World bundle had sold out within minutes. My Nintendo Store is expected to join the Mario Party later this week, making it your next big chance to pre-order a console.

Nintendo Switch 2 preorders sold out almost instantly on April 24th, but we're keeping an eye out for restocks ahead of launch day.
