As with other US retailers, both the standalone console and Mario Kart World bundle are currently sold out at GameStop. Most of the accessories are available either for preorder or you can sign up to be notified when they are in stock again.
Walmart US
Walmart preorders sold out almost immediately, and at the moment, it no longer has product pages for the standalone console or the Mario Kart World bundle, so we’re not expecting restocks any time soon. That being said, we’ll be keeping an eye on this retailer for any availability.
Walmart Canada
Preorders for the Switch 2 console and accessories began at midnight on April 24 at Walmart, but are currently sold out.

Nintendo Switch 2 preorders at Newegg
Newegg is also sold out of both versions of the console right now. While Switch 2 preorders will be competitive just about anywhere they’re being offered, Newegg is slightly less popular than other retailers like Walmart or Target, which could give you a better chance of securing an order during any future restocks. At present, the accessories are out of stock so your best bet is to be notified automatically when they become available.
Newegg is also offering preorders for both the standalone console and Mario Kart World bundle, though they’re currently sold out. However, this online retailer is less popular than competitors, so you may have better luck here than elsewhere during potential restocks.

Amazon doesn’t have official preorder pages for the console or Mario Kart World bundle yet, and unlike other retailers, it has yet to announce if or when its preorders will begin.
Amazon Canada
Amazon is now offering invitations for Switch 2 preorders in Canada for both the standalone console and the Mario Kart World bundle.
UK Nintendo Switch 2 preorders
Unsurprisingly, it’s been tough to preorder the Switch 2 since availability first opened on April 8, and all UK retailers are currently sold out. However, keep an eye on John Lewis, as we’ve been seeing both the standalone console and Mario Kart World bundle dip in and out of stock there. We’re hopeful about more restocks in the coming days and will be checking availability regularly, so check back often for the latest info.
Note: We have no confirmation that the digital download code for Mario Kart World in the UK Switch 2 bundle will work with non-UK Nintendo accounts. The power cables are also different for each region. If you plan to buy a UK Switch 2 from outside the country, please know there’s no guarantee it’ll work as expected.
Nintendo Switch 2 preorders are currently sold out at Amazon, both for the console alone and the Mario Kart World bundle. We’ll update this page if we see a restock.
Nintendo UK
Nintendo preorders are officially open in the UK, but you’ll need to have received an invite to take advantage of them. Games and accessories are also available for preorder and don’t require a special invitation.
John Lewis
John Lewis is one of the only places in the UK that has had sporadic availability of the Switch 2. It’s currently out of stock, but it’s worth keeping an eye on this retailer if you’re hoping to get your preorder in.
Both the Mario Kart World bundle and the console alone are sold out at Argos right now. We’ll continue checking to see if more stock is added. Games and accessories are still available to preorder.

Very’s Switch 2 preorders are currently sold out, with the retailer suggesting would-be buyers “keep checking back” for further updates. We will, of course, be doing just that. When it did have Switch 2 models in stock, there were also a number of different bundles on offer that paired the console with controllers, cases, microSD cards and games.
Smyths Toys is currently sold out for both home delivery and pickup.
EE is listing the Mario Kart World bundle as out of stock right now, though it could be a good, slightly more under-the-radar place to check for restocks.
Currys is taking a unique approach to Nintendo Switch 2 supply-and-demand issues by requiring that preorders be placed in-store. You can head to your nearest location to do so, though you should probably call ahead before making the journey to avoid potential disappointment. There’s no sign of an online preorder yet, but the link below is where you’ll need to be when the device is eventually listed online.
GAME is a go-to spot for those wanting the latest hardware, but it has already sold out of its initial Switch 2 preorder stock. Plenty of games and accessories are available to preorder.
The Game Collection
There’s no joy for Nintendo fans at The Game Collection right now, with both listings for the Switch 2 console and the Mario Kart World bundle showing as out of stock. There’s a chance more stock will be added, so we’ll keep you posted.
When can I preorder the Nintendo Switch 2?
Preorders began on April 8 for UK customers, and while they’re currently sold out everywhere online, we could see restocks in the coming days. American and Canadian preorders were originally supposed to begin shortly after on April 9, but were delayed due to the new tariffs implemented by the US. After weeks of uncertainty, Nintendo finally confirmed that both countries would begin offering preorders on April 24. But as predicted, all retailers sold out almost instantly. We’re hopeful that there will be some restocks in the coming hours and days, and will be keeping an eye on the retailers above.
There was some concern that the new US tariffs were going to lead to some significant price hikes on both the standalone console and the Mario Kart World bundle. Fortunately, Nintendo has confirmed that the original pricing still stands. The console will be available for $450, with the Mario Kart World bundle priced at $500. However, there has been a change to the price of some accessories, with some increasing by $5.
When will the Nintendo Switch 2 be released?
The Switch 2 is scheduled to begin shipping on June 5. Nintendo has confirmed that the preorder delay in the US and Canada won’t affect this release date. That being said, Nintendo recently updated its preorder page stating that a June 5 delivery is not guaranteed if you’re preordering from the manufacturer directly. Other retailers are still promising delivery on release day.
When can I preorder Nintendo Switch 2 accessories?
Preorders for Switch 2 controllers, cases and other accessories will begin at the same time as console preorders. For UK customers, that means you can start ordering them now. Additionally, some third-party Switch 2 accessories are already available. Just note that prices for some accessories have been increased.
When can I preorder Nintendo Switch 2 games?
As with accessories, Switch 2 game preorders will be available when console preorders go live. Fortunately, the cost of the two biggest launch titles will not be affected by the recent price increase of accessories. You’ll be able to order the digital copy of Mario Kart World for $80 and Donkey Kong Bananza for $70.
Will the Nintendo Switch 2 come in other colors?
For the new Switch 2, Nintendo has ditched the colored Joy-Cons for a more sleek, monochrome look — though there are still pops of red and blue around the analog sticks. As of now, Nintendo hasn’t said anything about additional colors.
Is the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle worth it?
The Mario Kart series has been a long-standing tentpole for Nintendo, and fans were thrilled to hear that a new title is on the way. But the excitement was dampened by the announcement that the new game will come with an increased price tag: $80 for the digital edition, or $90 if you want a physical copy. That said, you can bundle a digital copy with the console on release day for $500 total, which saves you $30 compared with buying them separately. It’s an excellent value if it’s a game you’re certain you want in your library, and likely the only “discount” we’ll see on this title for quite some time. Plus, Nintendo recently announced that this bundle will be available only “through fall 2025,” which means you’ll have a limited chance to take advantage of these savings.
Nintendo Switch 2 preorders: What are people saying?
There are still some mixed feelings about Nintendo’s newest console. While some are happy to see that Nintendo hasn’t altered much about the wildly popular original Switch, others feel not enough has changed to justify the $150 price hike — with CNET gaming expert Scott Stein calling it a console that “feels a lot like an updated version of a system many people already own.” The recent confirmation that the US tariffs won’t be leading to any further price increases has helped stifle gamers’ exasperation a bit, but many are still unhappy with the fact that select games will be selling for up to $20 more than the standard $60. Only time will tell whether most people consider the new console and games are worth the higher costs once they officially become available on June 5.
