Let's get right to it. Today – Tuesday 20th May – Nintendo and Game Collection are the only retailers with stock for the Nintendo Switch 2, although Very has been running in and out of stock too. If you're quick you can get in your pre-orders before stock runs out again.

This new games console is set to be one of the biggest hardware launches of the past decade, rivalling even the PS5, and the general sale date is still weeks away.

Last month Nintendo itself issued an apology to fans stating they would struggle to meet the overwhelming demand faced by the Nintendo Store. But, on the plus side, they are now offering pre-orders to anyone with a paid Nintendo Store account. Meanwhile, shops like Amazon, EE, Very and JD Williams have all run dry.

At the moment, our best tip is to keep an eye out for bigger bundles that include the Switch 2 and other accessories. For instance Game Collection is running exclusive pre-order bundles for the console, a camera, two new games and a 256GB Micro SD Card, however, the price is nearly £200 more than the Switch's original RRP – so bear that in mind.

Right now, like the rest of you, we've been obsessively using Stockchecker to see when and where the Switch 2 will appear and will be providing live updates every day for your benefit. To help your chances, we'd suggest bookmarking this page in order to stay up to date with us.
