The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct event is April 2, and there are a lot of questions about Nintendo’s next console. There has been some information about Switch 2 leaking, which may give people some idea of what to expect in the stream.
Nintendo’s Switch 2 unveiled in January and doesn’t offer the look of the new console. Backward compatible features and hands-on activities have been mentioned for the public to try the console, which will begin to happen around the world in New York City on April 4.
Bookings have not officially opened and there is no release date, but since the Nintendo announcement, information and rumors about the launch conference have been lost.

Another report said that Switch 2 reservations will take place on April 9 a week after the event was revealed. According to Insider Gaming, this date is based on documents and emails from U.S. retailers. Again, no prices are listed.
Where can I book the switch 2?
So far, Best Buy is the only retailer that confirms it will make pre-orders for the Switch 2. There is already a page dedicated to Switch 2, and those interested can submit emails to get notifications about when it will be available.
At some point in the near future, other retailers may switch 2 reservations.
How much does the Switch 2 cost?
This is another detail that Nintendo has not announced yet. The original switch is launched at $299, but considering that the OLED is currently priced at $350, it is unlikely that the Switch 2 will be less than less.
According to a Bloomberg report, some Nintendo analysts now predict the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 is $399 to $499. Analysts expect the Switch 2 chip itself will cost the company $130 to $150.
