Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders live: UK stock is live at Very and Currys, plus all the best US retailers to check

Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 haven’t started just yet at Amazon in the US. When stock drops, though, we don’t expect it to last long, so you’ll want to move fast to secure your console.

Target’s Switch 2 pre-order stock is now appearing as out of stock on both console and bundle listings – but keep checking as we know from experience that this can change rapidly at big retailers during hardware launches!

If you’ve registered your interest at the US My Nintendo Store, then keep an eye on your emails for an invite to pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2. There are some very specific requirements to meet in order to be chosen, but if you meet them, this could be the smoothest way to get your console.

Antonline is a rank outsider right now for Switch 2 pre-orders, but the retailer usually gets in on the action at some point, so it might be one to keep in the maybe pile. It usually goes big on bundles, too, so that could be an attractive element if it wraps up some of the accessories too.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Camera is an intriguing accessory you can add to the new console to augment online play with your friends – and it’s available to pre-order at Walmart too!

Even though it’ll arrive a little after the Switch 2’s launch, the next 3D Donkey Kong game is going to be a brilliant one to play as one of the first bona fide Switch 2 games.

Amazon had stock of both the standalone console and the Mario Kart World bundle recently, but now, sadly, it seems as though it no longer has inventory, instead displaying a ‘Currently unavailable’ stock level. Always worth bookmarking and checking, though.

Argos held stock of the console and Mario Kart Bundle regularly at the beginning of the pre-order phase, but hasn’t seen stock for a while now.

EE had one of its chunkiest bundles back in stock about 10 days ago, but now hasn’t seen anything for a while. This is definitely a retailer to keep to hand, though.

John Lewis has all its listing pages up for Switch 2 consoles and accessories, but only the accessories are able to be pre-ordered right now – the console has all gone with the retailer listing launch date (June 5) as the next opportunity.

The PC-focused retailer has popped up with two of its own listing pages for the Switch 2, and offered stock fleetingly last week, so it is absolutely worth throwing into the mix for future checking and restocks in the UK.

HMV had a restock of both the standalone and the Mario Kart bundle on the morning (UK time) of April 10 – but sold out incredibly quickly, sadly. Still, it’s another option to have in the pocket.

Game’s pre-order pages are no longer even present on its website, which is a shame. That could be it for consoles, but it might well have the suite of accessories available, so worth a check for those.
