Sure, let’s dive right in. So, guess what? Best Buy is pulling an all-nighter for the Nintendo Switch 2 launch. Yep, you read that right. Stores across good ol’ USA are going to light up like it’s New Year’s Eve or something.
Now, here’s the kicker: they’ve got this thing where, aside from handling all those pre-orders (because who doesn’t pre-order in this day and age?), they’re tossing a few extra systems, games, and, wait for it, accessories out there for the grab. ‘Cause, you know, we all need that extra controller or something. But here’s a twist—they’ve got this shiny commemorative coin. I mean, what? A coin, seriously? But hey, it’s free, and who doesn’t like free stuff? That’s if you’re lucky enough to be there at the stroke of midnight, 12:01 am ET, June 5th, 2025. Bet that date’s already circled on every gaming geek’s calendar.
Oh, and if you’re wondering where to get in on this midnight magic? Check out Best Buy’s site. They’re probably hiding the details there somewhere.
Now, about the Switch 2 itself—it’s dropping worldwide on the 5th of June. Price tags, though. They’re all over: £395.99 if you’re in the UK, €469.99 for our European pals, and $449.99 if you’re stateside. Honestly, why do numbers always look scarier with currency symbols? Anyway, yeah.
They did this trailer too, sort of a “here’s-why-you-need-another-gaming-console” deal. And maybe it’s on YouTube? Or somewhere. Let’s just say, if you’re into trailers, you probably know where to look already.
So go, line up, snag your Switch, and catch that coin. Assuming you’re into collecting random shiny things. Or, you know, just want to play some games.
