One retailer says it's the "biggest gaming pre-order ever" - but there questions over whether high prices will dent sales.

Eight years after the launch of the original, the Nintendo Switch 2 is finally being released in midnight launch events around the country. At the same time, gamers around the United States are checking retailers like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, GameStop, and even Costco in search of the next-generation console.

Best Buy is also notorious for its midnight video game drops, and the electronics retailer will also be hosting an in-person, on-location drop at midnight EST. They are said to have limited stock in stores, so you’ll have to line up pretty early. If not, you can always try your hand at securing one when the clock strikes 12.
