Pre-sale is due to go live on 14th May for members.<\/p>\n<p>Most of us will have to make do with this video, though. Ah well. We&#8217;re pretty excited for Winds &amp; Waves, which is coming exclusively to Switch 2 in 2027, so this will keep us happy for the time being.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch-2\/related-articles:198627,198072 @ 1778687196 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>Are you excited for Pok\u00e9mon Winds &amp; Waves?
