Nintendo Switch 2 stock tracker LIVE: where to pre-order Nintendo's new console?

T3's official Nintendo Switch 2 tracker is now live

Daily Update

Tue 15th April: PRE-ORDERS NOW OPEN SHOPTO.NET

Yes, Switch 2 hunters, as I confirmed in my pre-order due at ShopTo.net story, the online retailer has Switch 2 bundles available (it commenced at 10am) – so be quick to secure one.

Looking to pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2? Well, you've come to the right place. Demand for the forthcoming handheld console is intense – to the point it's sold out at the major retailers.

Indeed, a number of retailers – despite promising good stock – are already finding it hard to keep up with the number of people trying to get their hands on the handheld device.

There's time, though, with the console due on shelves from 5 June, with an asking price of £395.99 in the UK, AU$699 in Australia, and 'to be confirmed' in the USA (while current tariff wars impacts are ironed out).

While the Switch 2 is no PS5 Pro when it comes to power, it's a massive improvement over Nintendo's original and OLED consoles – from a design perspective and power point of view. It's the device I want most this year – having played it last week for the first time.

As ever with Nintendo products, it's the games that make the console – and the Switch 2's enhanced editions are a good start, while Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza will be day-one must-haves (well, month-two in the case of the latter).

That's why T3's official Nintendo Switch 2 tracker is here, where it'll be updated daily, to monitor where you can snag yourself a Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order. Watch this space!

Where to order Nintendo Switch 2 in the UK

ShopTo

ShopTo
The place where I pre-ordered my console some weeks ago, but which then declares stock was insufficient, has stock reallocation (as bundles only) today, Tuesday 15 April, with orders opening at 10am.

My Nintendo Store

My Nintendo Store
Going straight to the source is often a great idea. For Nintendo, however, you'll need an invitation code to be able to pre-order the Switch 2. Got one of those, however, and this might be your only chance.

Amazon

Amazon
Amazon is the retail site where many people go for everything – and you can for the Switch 2 too. Except, right now, the pre-order page isn't show any stock availability.

Argos

Argos
A UK favourite, various Argos stores around the country might have Switch 2 boxes on the shelves in the summer, but right now its pre-orders are backed up – with nothing currently available.

Currys

Currys
Currys has a Nintendo Switch 2 landing page where you can register your interest – but that's as far as it goes for now. If you go down this route then keep an eye on your inbox, as you'll need to be quick when the alert comes through.

Pre-orders live on ShopTo!

As promised, ShopTo pre-orders are open. I was able to add a 'Nintendo Switch 2 with Switch 2 Camera & Stealth Premium - Travel Pack' order to my basket, at £465.85.

That's the Switch 2 console, plus the official camera and a carry case included in the bundle. It's £69.90 more than the standalone console, but it'll get you in line for day-one delivery.

Don't forget the Express card

Also a reminder that the Switch 2's microSD expansion slot will only accept the new Express or 'EX' card types. This is an important differentiation, as the old card's interface type won't work for Switch 2 games.

My best suggestion is to pre-order a specific EX card, whether 128GB or 256GB, to ensure you can download games no dramas come launch day. There are Nintendo branded ones, as you can see in the shopping widget below, to complete your Switch 2 package.
