This isn’t going to last (Nintendo) They’re not going to last, but if you’re very quick a big UK retailer has the Nintendo Switch 2 console in stock at the moment, via a range of different bundles. The Nintendo Switch 2 launches worldwide on June 5 but from the first moment pre-orders opened stock hasn’t stayed available anywhere for more than a few minutes. That’s probably not going to change until much later in the year and since there’s never any forewarning, all anyone can really do is keep checking known retailers as often as possible. One of our readers has been doing exactly that and thanks to Mark Matthews we can tell you that as of time of writing Very does have stock of the console and a number of different bundles. As far as we can tell nobody else, including Nintendo themselves, has got new stock in but Very does and has created some unofficial bundles for it. You can’t get the console, or the console and Mario Kart World, alone but the following more expensive variants are currently available: Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World + Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for £494 Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World + Samsung Micro SD Card for £479 Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World + Switch 2 Camera for £479 It’s a lot of money but if you have it they are pretty good deals, because Tears Of The Kingdom is a great game and the SD card and camera are useful accessories, depending on how you intend to use the console. The high cost is no doubt why they’re still available an hour after first being spotted but if they’re gone by the time you read this, apologies for getting your hopes up. When will new stock of Nintendo Switch 2 be available in the UK? It’s hard to tell what will happen with stock of newly launched consoles at the best of times, but given the situation with tariffs in the US it’s especially difficult when it comes to the Switch 2. More Trending Apart from anything, and as Nintendo has already pointed out, tariffs on other non-luxury goods, including food, mean that people in the US are going to have less money than usual to spend on video games this year. Pre-orders are regularly available on eBay but there’s always a risk in trying to buy something where the seller doesn’t physically have the item yet, not to mention the inflated prices. If all goes well then the Switch 2 should be more readily available by Christmas, but the more popular it is the more difficult it is going to be to buy one.

Nintendo Switch 2 Can Stop Charging at 90% to Help It Live Longer The Nintendo Switch 2 will get a new software feature to help its battery last longer over the lifespan of the console. Batteries inside all gadgets diminish over their lifetime, and a way to slow that process down can be to not fully charge the device every day.The new feature on the Switch 2 is appropriately called “Stop Charging Around 90%” and can be found within the System Settings. When turned on, it’ll slow the charging speed down when it's nearing full and only start charging again when the battery drops.We’ve seen this feature on smartphones, laptops, and other gadgets over the last few years. On modern iPhones, Apple has a feature called Charge Limit that works as an opt-in feature limiting your phone to 80% charge to help reduce the deterioration of the battery.You'll be able to turn the feature off on the Switch 2 for scenarios where you’ll want that extra 10% of battery life, such as taking it away on a trip. Many people will play the Switch 2 as a home console in its charging dock, and that means it'll be on charge consistently throughout its life. If that's how you intend the play the console, it makes sense to turn on this feature.Recommended by Our EditorsNintendo doesn’t give us an estimate of how much longer it expects the battery to last. The original Switch launched in 2017 meaning the console has been in many people's lives for over seven years. Battery life on the Switch 2 is already an uphill battle as the company says it estimates between two and six and a half hours of usage on the new console. The original Switch model had a similar battery life, but models released later in the console’s lifespan increased it to up to nine hours.Many have experienced bad battery life on original Switch models. Nintendo has said on the original Switch, “After about 800 charge cycles, the system battery life will decrease to about 80% compared to the battery on a new system.”The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to release in less than a month’s time on June 5. The console costs $449.99 in the US, and preorders for the console are open now but you’ll likely struggle to buy one as it's sold out at multiple US retailers. المصدر: https://me.pcmag.com/en/gaming/29800/nintendo-switch-2-can-stop-charging-at-90-to-help-it-live-longer
