While Trump's tariffs have caused major issues for US gamers, UK gamers have been able to pre-order in the last few weeks, but that's not to say it's been easy to do so.The Switch 2's expected popularity has certainly meant pre-ordering is likely to be the only way you can play on June 5, but thankfully, Nintendo is offering a bundle with its major new game, Mario Kart World.Below, we've rounded up the best ways you can still get your hands on the console, although with things shifting in and out of stock, we'd recommend bookmarking this page and coming back later.The Nintendo Switch 2 can be purchased with Mario Kart World (Image: (Image: NINTENDO))Naturally, you'll want a console, but most of the options we've found are the Mario Kart World bundle.
