At this point, you might wonder what we HAVEN’T talked about with the nintendo Switch 2, and that’s a fair thing to wonder. After all, we’ve discussed its specs, the games that will be on it, the price point (and whether it’s too high or not), what expectations there are for the future software-wise, and many other things in between. We’re just FOUR WEEKS AWAY from this thing coming out, so what else is there to discuss? Well, how about the box it comes in?
Yes, it’s true. As you’ll see in the Blue Sky post below, we now know what the Nintendo Switch 2 box will look like when it arrives in a few weeks. Behold it in all its glory!!!
Nintendo showed the final Switch 2 retail packaging.

Okay, yeah, maybe it’s not the most “dramatic piece of news ever,” but it still counts! Plus, now you know what to look for when you finally get yours!
On that note, you might recall a few weeks back we talked about the Nintendo Store pre-orders that many of us did (including us hosts of NEP), and we have an update on that, too. As Stealth also revealed on Blue Sky, he got an official email for a pre-order of the Switch 2. So, in the weeks to come, you’ll want to keep an eye on your email so that you won’t miss your chance to get yours!
I received my email from Nintendo that I can buy my Switch 2 through them for the next few days.Like everyone else, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get it through retail so I signed up for this.

As a reminder, just because you pre-order from the store doesn’t mean you’ll get it on June 5th. Likewise, you might not get an email until AFTER the console’s launch. Thus, you’ll want to keep your eyes open for other opportunities to get the Switch 2 before the system releases next month.
