Top tips for getting your hands on the Nintendo Switch 2 in the UK

Here's a few bits of advice for how to get your hands on the Nintendo Switch 2:

Get your bank details ready

Our best advice is to have your payment method ready and raring to go. Whether that's by using instant pay systems like Apple Pay or just having your card sat in front of you, just make sure you're on it, because stock will run out fast.

Opt for the lesser-known stores

The shops likely to receive the most traffic are the big ones like Nintendo, Very and Amazon. So, we'd suggest looking at the slightly smaller retailers like JD Williams, Jacamo and Game Collection. These have all been pretty consistent during the pre-order and so might not sell out as fast.

Use a stock checker

Letting you in on a little secret: we sometimes rely on an official Stockchecker to see where the Switch 2 is available. Of course, we'll be here to give you the live updates, but just in case you wanted an extra helping hand.

Go for a bundle

If you have the funds, try and buy a bundle containing the Switch 2 and other games or accessories. The Switch 2 console on its own will always be the first to sell out, whereas the more expensive packages with extra items tend to hang around a bit longer.
