Nintendo Switch 2 Preorders Begin in UK on Amazon

Amazon UK has opened preorders for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 to everyone, moving away from its previous invite-only system. You can now secure your console with no upfront payment, as Amazon won't charge until the product ships. This low-risk approach ensures you can reserve your Switch 2 without immediate financial commitment. Although some early listings suggested a June 7th delivery, Amazon has confirmed that the actual launch day remains June 5th, ensuring timely delivery for eager fans.

In the UK, preorders are running smoothly without the price increases or delays seen in the US. Interestingly, some US users have successfully preordered from the UK using international shipping, though results may vary. For the latest on new releases, bundles, and restocks, follow @IGNUKDeals on social media platforms like Twitter/X or Bluesky.

Argos has also restocked Switch 2 preorders today, April 8, in the UK, offering not only the console but also a variety of games and accessories. This is a golden opportunity for those who missed out previously to secure their orders. Meanwhile, official UK preorders from Nintendo, along with retailers like EE, GAME, and Smyths, have seen rapid sell-outs, leading to scalpers inflating prices on eBay. For a reliable purchase, Amazon and Argos stand out as the best options in the UK market.

For those interested in the latest on the Nintendo Switch 2, Logan Plant's preview with IGN provides insightful details. He notes the Switch 2's premium nature and higher price point, which reflects its advanced features and enhancements over the original. Despite the concerns about its cost, the Switch 2 promises a compelling hybrid gaming experience with exciting new additions like mouse controls.

To complement your Switch 2 experience, the new console will offer exclusive access to GameCube games through its online library. ShopTo is currently offering a 35% discount on Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) Expansion Pack memberships in the UK, with an additional 5% off using the promo code SPRING at checkout. This deal is perfect for those looking to enhance their gaming experience without breaking the bank.

In a contrasting development, Nintendo has delayed Switch 2 preorders in the US due to tariff uncertainties and evolving market conditions. Originally set to begin on April 9, the preorders are now on hold indefinitely, though the global release date of June 5, 2025, remains firm. The Switch 2 is priced at $449.99 USD, with the Mario Kart World bundle at $499.99 USD, and the game alone at $79.99 USD.

For UK residents looking to preorder without immediate payment, Amazon remains the top choice. Unlike other retailers like Argos, which require payment at the time of order, Amazon's system ensures you're only charged upon dispatch. Amazon's preorder process uses a ballot system, offering a fair chance to all interested buyers. Currys and Smyths are also expected to provide more opportunities through email alerts and queue systems, similar to their successful PS5 launch strategy.
