US retailers cancel Nintendo Switch 2 preorders

Preorders for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 are being canceled by major US retailers, leaving some customers without a console for its launch next week. Customers who preordered the Switch 2 from GameStop, Target, and Walmart are reporting canceled orders, often without notification. The cancellations began as early as May 22 and continue, with some users discovering the issue by checking their order status. Retailers may have oversold preorders, and some affected customers have received compensation. In-store availability is expected next week, with some Target locations reportedly having consoles ready for purchase.
