On Friday, Nintendo stated it was
postponing pre-orders in the USA
because of
Trump’s tariffs
Originally planned to start accepting pre-orders this week, Nintendo announced they will “evaluate the possible effects of tariffs and changing market dynamics,” fueling rumors that the console’s U.S. price might rise before its release in June.

The EE Store also launched pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 on Thursday. They offered both the individual system as well as a bundle including additional items.
Mario Kart World
were available, but stocks were snapped up within the hour.
I’ve contacted EE to inquire about future availability of pre-orders and will share the information promptly once I receive a response.

Very was one of the first retailers to launch Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders, with stock going live on Thursday morning. Unlike most retailers, which were only offering the console on its own or bundled with
Mario Kart World
, Also included were several more expensive package options.
These pricier packages stayed accessible for a minimum of 24 hours following the release and featured Nintendo’s latestSwitch 2 components, including the USB-C camera and Pro controller, along with forthcoming titles like
Donkey Kong Bananza
.
By Friday’s end, all Switch 2 bundle packages were sold out, prompting Very to take down their listings from the site.

Tomorrow, Nintendo will start taking pre-orders in the UK, though this opportunity won’t be available to everybody.
Nintendo has implemented an exclusive invite-only program, with very stringent criteria for obtaining invitations simply to preorder the console.
To qualify, you must have maintained an activeNintendo Switch Online membership without interruption for a minimum of two years. Additionally, your eligibility depends on your gaming activities and whether you’ve agreed to get promotional messages from them.
Should you qualify, Nintendo indicates they’ll send you an email invite; however, receiving one does not ensure obtaining a console since it depends on inventory levels.
If you haven’t gotten an email yet, it likely means you didn’t qualify. The emails were dispatched following the Nintendo Direct event. However, should anything change by preorder day tomorrow, I will keep you informed.

As worries increase about Nintendo potentially raising the price of the Switch 2 in the U.S., these apprehensions have not extended to the UK market. Here, pre-orders remain unaffected, with prices anticipated to stay consistent with what was declared on Wednesday.
Nintendo offers two choices — you can purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 by itself for £395.99, or opt for a bundle that includes it.
Mario Kart World
For $570.83. I’ve included all the information in the article below:

Smyths Toys
was the first store to launch pre-order options immediately following the conclusion of the Nintendo Direct event on Wednesday.
The stock was snapped up almost instantly, and the seller hasn’t released an additional shipment of consoles since. I plan to stay vigilant to spot if any new units become available for preorder later today.
Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 are expected soon; stay tuned for real-time updates.

Good morning! Though Nintendo just announced the Switch 2 a few days ago, it seems like weeks have passed due to the rapid sell-out of pre-order units across the board.
We have virtually all the information we need about the console, and Nintendo is offering fans an opportunity to experience it firsthand through their Experience Days before the game launches in June.
