It seems Nintendo has finally unveiled the Switch 2 as the successor to its hybrid gaming console, a system that sold incredibly well over the past three years. In addition to being hybrid, Nintendo has added quite a few noticeable upgrades. A new larger screen is featured along with thinner bezels, as well as newly designed magnetic Joy-Con controllers. An improved kickstand will enhance tabletop gaming with more stability. The design will be sleek and black with a much smoother edge and rounded contours.
However, the company hasn’t yet confirmed an official date of release or the price. Instead, the company has scheduled a Nintendo Direct broadcast on April 2, 2025, with this particular presentation focused entirely on the Switch 2. All preorder information will reportedly be issued immediately after that presentation.
Meanwhile, some UK stores are allowing their customers to pre-order a notification regarding interest in Nintendo Switch 2 and letting them know when they can pre-order a device. Here are the options:
Table of Contents
1. Currys
Currys is allowing the customers to express their interest in Nintendo Switch 2. You would be receiving the email and SMS when you provide your details concerning the availability of pre-order and other information.
2. ShopTo
ShopTo, on the other hand, are offering an alternative view by permitting consumers to pre-order their interest through a meager £0.01 fee. Such a fee would be reduced from the amount of the price of the pre-order console with no promises made of fulfilled orders, and a full £0.01 fee would be given back if the firm could not fill out your order.
3. The Game Collection
The Game Collection has also established a registration page for the Nintendo Switch 2. Registration will inform you when the pre-orders open and go live.
4. Amazon UK
Amazon UK should take pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 once released. There is no registration page, though. You can still check their website for any news.
5. Argos
Argos classify their stock by postcode, so sometimes it can be easier to get higher-demand items in lesser competitive areas. Monitoring the website and joining up for the notifications is helpful.
Tips for Securing Your Pre-Order on Day One
One needs to pre-book early interest for various retailers beforehand so that this increases the probabilities of getting appropriate information regarding its availability for time.
Be Aware: Keep an eye on the updates from Nintendo and new information from its upcoming Nintendo Direct on April 2, 2025.
Act fast, but once that has been announced regarding the preordering option, stand ready to purchase during the actual live day that opportunity as sought-after toys all sell out relatively quickly.
Alternative retailers must be in place. Multiple accounts with retailers ensure that, if one site receives too much traffic or sells too quickly, an alternative pathway exists.
All these steps will help you in increasing the chances of getting your Nintendo Switch 2 as soon as it hits the market. Never forget to check the official channels and retailers regularly to get all the information from the most reliable source.
