Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 have opened across the US and UK, with demand surging as the June 5 launch date approaches.

US-based buyers have reported rapid sellouts at launch, although restocks are expected at Best Buy, GameStop, and Target in the days leading up to release.

In the UK, restocks have been more frequent, though many retailers are offering only bundle deals that include Mario Kart World, priced at £429.

The standalone console retails for £395 in the UK and $449 in the US. The bundle edition is priced at $499 in the US.

Retailers currently listing the Nintendo Switch 2 include:

  • Nintendo: Pre-order by invite only

  • Walmart: Launch day delivery if ordered before June 4

  • Amazon: No pre-order page yet

  • Target: Standard and bundle versions available

  • GameStop: In-store and online pre-orders open; midnight launch events planned
