Does Amazon have Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders?

There is currently a page listing for the new video game console on Amazon UK’s website. However if you are hoping to pre-order one, there are a few more steps than you may have expected.

Amazon is doing the orders by invite only, which is also part of a bid to stop scalpers and “ensure that as many genuine customers as possible” can purchase them. You simply have to click a link to request an invite and then wait, to see if you get the golden ticket.

On the Amazon website, it has both the standard console as well as the bundle with a digital download of Mario Kart World. The prices range from £395.99 to £429.99 for the package deal.

Argos and Smyths have both had pre-orders open in the 24 hours since the console was revealed. However they have since sold out - so you will likely have to be quick if you want to pick up a pre-order.
