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.

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.
