Right now, all eyes, ears and excitement centre on the Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders officially opened on 8th April at the Nintendo Store, but they're not the only UK retailers with stock.

While the Nintendo Store has caveats around who can access the Switch 2 and when (for instance, if you have been a Nintendo Switch Online member for more than two years), shops like Very, EE, Jacamo and JD Williams have all had stock over the past two weeks.

Priced at £395.99 on its own, and £429.99 for a bundle that includes the new Mario Kart World, Nintendo has implemented a slew of improvements, like 256GB of storage, a larger 4K screen, and the chance to include powerful Micro Express SD cards.

With all that in mind, fans are understandably hyped for what is set to be one of the biggest tech launches of the 2020s, and are desperate to get their hands on a new model.

Which is what we're here to help with. Pre-orders have opened at UK retailers, as well as the official Nintendo Store, and stock is waning fast, so below we've outlined exactly where and how you can buy the Switch 2 and what we expect to happen next. Let's-a-go!

Pre-orders have opened for the Nintendo Switch 2 across Nintendo and several third-party retailers, although, unsurprisingly, they have been running out of stock faster than you can say "lets-a-go".

With that in mind, our advice would be to check all the pages to see if there's stock available left, and if not, register your interest at as many different sites as you can.

Nintendo Store

Nintendo opened its pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 on Tuesday 8th April.

For the creators, the Switch 2 will be offered out to loyal Nintendo Store customers first on an invite-only basis. If you have been a Nintendo Switch Online member for more than two years, have spent a certain amount of time playing paid Nintendo Switch games, or have opted to receive promotional messages from Nintendo, you may receive a select invite link.
