Nintendo Switch 2 Preorders: A Guide to Securing Your Console Ahead of Launch
The wait is almost over for Nintendo Switch 2 enthusiasts! With the official UK preorders not starting until April 8, major retailers have already gone live with preorders, giving fans a chance to secure their console ahead of launch. In this article, we’ll dive into the details of the preorders, including the retailers offering the console, the process of securing a preorder, and some exclusive deals you won’t want to miss.
Amazon UK Leads the Charge
Amazon UK has already started sending out invitations to select customers who registered their interest in the Nintendo Switch 2. If you’ve registered your interest, now is the time to check your inbox for an invitation. Amazon is still accepting preorder requests for the Switch 2 and the Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle, and will continue to send out invitations until June 5. Unlike Nintendo’s own system, Amazon’s invites aren’t based on playtime, and not all requests will be approved. Any invite link sent out will also expire after 22 hours, so securing a preorder quickly is crucial.
Other Retailers Offering Preorders
While Amazon UK is leading the charge, other retailers are also offering preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2. These include:
- EE
- Argos (temporarily out of stock, but stay tuned for updates)
- Currys (in-store only)
- GAME
- Smyths
Exclusive Deals and Discounts
To make the preorder process even more enticing, some retailers are offering exclusive deals and discounts. For example:
- ShopTo is offering a 5% discount on various games, consoles, gift cards, and more across your order using the “SPRING” coupon code.
- ShopTo is also offering a discounted price for Donkey Kong Bananza, with a 5% discount using the same coupon code.
- ShopTo is also offering a 35% discount on Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) memberships, with an extra 5% discount using the “SPRING” coupon code.
Tips and Tricks
To increase your chances of securing a preorder, here are some tips and tricks to keep in mind:
- Register your interest with multiple retailers to increase your chances of getting an invitation.
- Keep an eye on your email inbox for invitations, as they may expire after 22 hours.
- Be prepared to act quickly when an invitation is sent, as the link may expire soon.
- Consider using a coupon code or discount offer to sweeten the deal.
