It is four years since we received a new Nintendo Switch model in the form of the beautiful OLED version, and it is finally time for the Switch 2.
The new console is supplied with a whole series of upgrades compared to the original, including a larger 7.9-inch 1080p LCD screen with HDR and 120Hz refresh speed. There is also 256 GB storage, new gamechat function, optional webcam, larger and magnetic joy cons and more.
The console will be for sale June 5 with pre-orders officially starting April 8 In the UK and April 9 In the US (although some retailers apparently jumped on the gun). And because of its sound, many retailers will be sold out on the first day.
It is not surprising, because the Switch 2 is expected to sell millions of units. Priced from £ 395/$ 449 (or £ 429/$ 499 with Mario Kart World Bundled), you want to get your pre-order as quickly as possible and we know the best places to do that.
Not only that, but we will also be looking for the best deals as soon as they become available.

Where the Nintendo Switch 2 can be ordered in the UK in advance
There are already several places where you can (or be able to) order a Nintendo Switch 2.
The official Nintendo store is the obvious place, although a system has been introduced to scare Scalpers. From 2 April you must have bought “an online membership of Nintendo Switch with a minimum of 12 months of paid membership and at least 50 gameplay hours.”
Invitations are then sent by e-mail first, first grinds and is valid for 72 hours.
However, UK pre-order left are not live, and the page mentions the US and Canada, so this can be specific to those regions.
Amazon UK has an invitation system for both the Switch 2 and the Mario Kart World bundle. You only have to be logged in and press the ‘Invite request’ button. If successful, you will be informed by e -mail.
The invitation system is “to ensure that as many real customers as possible can buy this much needed item, we sell it by invitation,” says Amazon.
Argos has pre-order pages live for the Switch 2 And customers will collect nectar points as an incentive. At the time of writing, the Regular console option Is it already displayed as sold out – a mistake? maybe.
