For U.S. gamers, the Nintendo Switch 2 launch date is finally here. All over the country, eager players have been lining up at midnight launch events, and as of this writing, the doors are finally opening.

Anyone still hoping to pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2 before launch has probably lost all hope. Pre-orders across the US sold out fast when they went live in April, and there hasn’t been a single restock in the months since.

Some Switch 2 games might be $80, but you can upgrade some Pokemon and Mario games for free, so they'll run better on your new console.
