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

One bundle remains in stock in the UK right now

There was a fair bit of activity last week when it came to Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders, and we're right in the thick of it again in the UK! The big news right now is that there is some stock available at Very and Currys!

Meanwhile, in the US, the first wave of invites went out to My Nintendo Store customers, so make sure to check your inbox if you registered.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is highly anticipated and subject to heavy levels of demand in both the US and the UK. This has led to many retailers selling out quickly, but there have been occasional restocks over the last few weeks, as we've seen over the last couple of days.

If you need a quick reminder, a Nintendo Switch 2 console by itself goes for $449.99 / £395.99 / AU$699.99. There's also an official bundle that throws in a digital copy of Mario Kart World and costs $499.99 / £429.99 / AU$769.99.

For an overview of the best retailers to check, simply navigate just below to our extensive list for both territories. Our live updates are at the bottom of the page, offering a steady stream of the latest tips to help you out.

I've been at the coal face of gaming hardware launches for more than half a decade including those infamous PS5 and Xbox Series X stock shortages, as well as countless graphics card releases, and special edition hardware launches. I've been hardened by those experiences, however, and they've also ensured I know a thing or two about presenting all the pertinent information and links to you in the most efficient way so you can make your own pre-order as soon as possible.

Stock is holding in the UK...

OK, so we're pretty much as we are as there have been no major UK stock changes since I reported both Very's and Currys' earlier. Here are all those links to check right now, while I take the dog out briefly.

If the bundles - while pretty neat to be honest, though I would prefer to see one with the Switch 2 Pro Controller - aren't what you're after, it does look like Very has stock of the console and Mario Kart World bundle too!

Ah, scratch that, it looks like the bundle has gone out of stock while I wrote this post!
