Nintendo’s reveal of the Switch 2 may still be suffering from some confusion over the finer details, but that hasn’t stopped millions of people from pre-ordering the console. The Switch 2’s launch is just over a month away, on June 5, 2025, and many retailers have already sold out. This week, pre-orders in the US and Japan also opened, with the latter seeing unprecedented demand. Nintendo’s next console looks set for a record-breaking launch, but retailers across the UK and Europe are still only getting intermittent restocks – which makes securing a console very difficult. In the UK, the Switch 2 base console costs £395.99, while the limited time Mario Kart World bundle is priced at £429.99. This knocks off £33 from the game’s £66.99 digital price, effectively making it half price. The bundle is currently sold out at most retailers, but there were restocks at The Game Collection and Amazon this week – so it’s vital to keep an eye on the list belowto see if the bundle comes back into stock.
