Nintendo is at it again. The Nintendo Switch 2 is coming later this year and preorders are starting soon. The preorder is the easiest way to beat the line and ensure you get your Nintendo Switch 2 when it comes out on June 5. Starting at the very first second of April 24 (12:00 a.m. ET, i.e. when it hits midnight on Wednesday, the 23 in NYC) you’ll be able to begin your pre-ordering at Walmart via the button below.
You’ll be able to get the Nintendo Switch 2 by itself for $449 or the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World Bundle for $499, all with free shipping so long as you order by 8:00 a.m. of your local time on June 4. However, Walmart has very specifically said “while supplies last” for this offer. That indicates that they think there’s a possibility of them selling out. They don’t have an infinite supply of Nintendo Switch 2 handhelds. So, be sure to tap the button below now, just in case, and bookmark this page for later if the preorder is not yet available.
Read on for an overview of everything we know about the Nintendo Switch 2.

Why you should preorder the Nintendo Switch 2
The Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t out yet, but we still have quite a lot of knowledge about the Switch 2. Part of this is because it looks so similar to the original Switch, which is a good thing because it is backwards compatible. If you compare the hardware of the Switch and Switch 2, however, you’ll start to see glimpses of major changes — a 4K docked video output, a massive storage upgrade, dual USB-C ports, and support for microSD express cards (which the original lacks, meaning you’ll need to upgrade cards). Furthermore, the Switch 2 is going to have new magnetic Joy-Cons that are somewhat larger and can operate in a new mode that’s not entirely unlike a computer mouse.
The Mario Kart World Bundle also includes Mario Kart 9, which features classic Mario-style, powerup-infused karting with a twist — transitions from track to track in a set progress seamlessly. We’re also seeing more abilities to pull off skateboard style grind tricks and there’s even a rewind feature to give you a second shot at that jump you missed.
Of course, knowing all of this is moot if you don’t get a Nintendo Switch 2 console in your hands. Starting on April 24 you can preorder the Nintendo Switch 2 for $449 or the Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart World for $499 if you tap the button below.

Gamers who are looking for monitor deals to upgrade their screen should set their sights on the 39-inch LG UltraGear OLED gaming monitor, which is available from LG with a $500 discount that slashes its price from $1,500 to only $1,000. That's an excellent offer, but it gets better if you prefer a multi-monitor setup. If you buy two of the gaming monitors, you'll get an additional 5% off, and if you buy three or more, you get 10% off. You're going to have to hurry with your purchase though, as we're not sure how much time is remaining before you miss out.

The Alienware m16 R2 gaming laptop with RTX 4060 is $300 off right now
You should be ready to spend a lot of cash if you want a powerful gaming laptop, but you should be on the lookout for gaming laptop deals that you can take advantage of. You may want to consider this offer from Dell for the Alienware m16 R2 with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card -- from its original price of $1,900, it's down to $1,600 following a $300 discount. It's still not what you'd call affordable, but the savings are a nice bonus with this purchase. You have to hurry though, as the device may be back to its regular price as soon as tomorrow.
Why you should buy the Alienware m16 R2 gaming laptop
We described the Alienware m16 R2 as "a fresh start for the brand's gaming laptops," as it fixes some of its predecessor's design problems with a thinner chassis and lighter weight. It's still a pretty large gaming laptop with a 16-inch screen, but that's a good thing for gamers who want to take in all the details of the video games that they're playing. With QHD+ resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate, it's going to be easy to get lost in the worlds that you're exploring through the Alienware m16 R2.

Walmart slashed the price of this Acer Predator OLED gaming monitor by $700
A powerful gaming PC needs a top-of-the-line gaming monitor. If you haven't made the upgrade with monitor deals, you should check out Walmart's offer for the Acer Predator X45. From its original price of $1,600, this OLED gaming monitor is available for $906, which is equivalent to savings of $694. You won't always get the chance to buy such a premium display for less than $1,000, so if you're thinking about taking advantage of this bargain, you need to hurry with your purchase as there's no assurance that it will still be online tomorrow.
Why you should buy the Acer Predator X45 OLED gaming monitor
OLED TVs continue to make waves in the audio/video industry, and OLED technology is also perfect for gaming. With the Acer Predator X45 OLED gaming monitor, you'll enjoy brilliant colors and perfect black levels that will translate to immersive experiences, no matter what type of game you're playing. The 800R curvature of the 44.5-inch screen and the monitor's 21:9 aspect ratio help by filling your field of view, and the 3440 x 1440 resolution will let you see and appreciate even the smallest details in the worlds that you're exploring.
