Today (June 5) is the launch date for the Nintendo Switch 2 – and if you haven’t pre-ordered the console, then you’re in luck.
At the time of writing, Amazon UK has stock available for both the standard Nintendo Switch 2 console (£395.99) and the Mario Kart World bundle (£429.99). If you’ve got Prime, you should get the console tomorrow if you order now.
While we’re not yet sure how scarce Switch 2 units will be, seeing stock of a new console (on launch day, no less) is a rare thing these days, but this is great news for those who didn’t manage to get a pre-order in.
Of course, there’s no saying how long these units will stick around for, so if you want one, we’d advise getting in quick and picking one up. If they go out of stock, it’s worth checking back to see whether Amazon is doing multiple drops each day.
The Switch 2 is the follow-up to one of the most popular consoles all all time, and it has big shoes to fill. Updates for the second-gen model include new magnetic Joy Con controllers, a larger display with a 120Hz refresh rate, much more power under the hood for better performance and 256GB of internal storage.
Launch titles include Mario Kart World, upgraded versions of the Zelda games Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, plus third-party titles like Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition, Hogwarts Legacy, Hitman and more.
There’s a selection of accessories too, including a camera for the new GameChat feature and an excellent Pro controller. You can see live prices of these below.
