Pre-orders are open now via the official Nintendo Saudi Online Store

Gamers, mark your calendars — the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is launching in Saudi Arabia on Thursday, June 5, and it’s bringing plenty of upgrades and exciting features. If you’re eager to get your hands on one, you can already pre-order it via the official Nintendo Saudi Online Store.

This newly launched platform, operated by the official local distributor, offers a wide selection of Nintendo products, including the Switch 2, games, accessories, and amiibo figurines — all with free shipping across the Kingdom.

What’s Available?

Right now, the Mario Kart World bundle (priced at SAR2,199) is available for pre-order and comes packed with everything you need:

• Nintendo Switch 2 Console

• Joy-Con 2 controllers (L+R)

• Joy-Con 2 Grip & Straps

• Switch 2 Dock

• HDMI Cable & AC Adapter

• USB-C Charging Cable

• Mario Kart World game card

However, standalone consoles are currently limited, and pre-orders placed now will be delivered starting Sunday, June 15, not on launch day.

Why the Hype?

The Nintendo Switch 2 stays true to the hybrid design of its predecessor — allowing you to play handheld or on your TV — but steps things up with a range of impressive upgrades:

• 7.9-inch Full HD screen for more immersive visuals

• 256GB internal storage

• 3D spatial audio

• Improved system performance

The all-new magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers add a fun twist. They can now function as a computer mouse in compatible games, opening up new ways to play and interact.

New Features to Watch Out For:

• GameChat: Voice and video chat with up to 12 players using the built-in mic or an optional USB-C camera. It’s free until March 31, 2026, after which you’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

• GameShare: Share select games with friends and family in the same Nintendo Account family group, even if they don’t own the games themselves.

Plus, brand-new game titles like Donkey Kong Bananza will be available exclusively for the Switch 2, giving fans fresh adventures to dive into.

Should You Upgrade?

If you already own the original Nintendo Switch, the Switch 2 offers plenty of reasons to upgrade — from enhanced visuals and sound to next-level features like GameChat and GameShare. Best of all, it’s backward-compatible, so you can still enjoy your favorite titles from the original console.
