Switch 2 preorders went live starting April 24, following a brief delay while Nintendo evaluated the ongoing tariff situation. Since then, you've had the potential to preorder the upcoming console from a number of stores, but not necessarily the opportunity. It's a rough market out there. (Expect a lot of "out of stock" signs.)
Walmart
Like most retailers, Walmart's Switch 2 preorders have been live since April 24 at 12 a.m. ET. The store will happy sell you any number of Switch 2 games and accessories, but if you're just looking for the console or the Mario Kart World bundle, you can simplify your preorder that way.
The company was advertising free delivery by 9 a.m. on June 5 if you preorder right away—the only store on this list guaranteeing such a time frame—but as of today, the site says "Coming soon! Release 06/05/2025."

GameStop is excited about the fact that it is holding midnight releases for Switch 2 in June. However, it didn't do the same for Switch 2 preorders. In fact, GameStop offered in-person preorders when the brick and mortar stores opened at 11 a.m.—11 hours after other retailers open their online preorders.
Best Buy also launched preorders at midnight on April 24. There isn't too much to say here, as it's the same deal as other stores: You can pick up the console, the bundle, or any number of accessories and games—though the consoles also say "Coming Soon."
Nintendo
In order to be eligible for selection, however, you need to meet some odd criteria. In an effort to minimize scalpers, Nintendo is requiring preorder customers to connect their Nintendo accounts to the registration. Each account needs to have at least 50 hours of play time associated with it, as of April 2. That means you cannot create multiple accounts to try to game the system, nor can you apply if you just started your Nintendo journey after the second of the month.
