GAME Launches In-Store Pre-Orders for Nintendo Switch 2

Man, so here’s the wild news—GAME just threw it out there that you can pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2 at some of their shops. Yeah, it’s like your “last shot” if you’re really itching to snag this new console right when it drops.

So here’s the deal: GAME is all hyped up, letting everyone know they can put down a £20 deposit to claim a Switch 2 for its release on June 5th. They’ve basically got two plans: just the console itself or this sweet bundle with Mario Kart World. You gotta check in-store for all the fine print—no clue why they keep it so secretive, but hey, it is what it is.

And oh, just when you thought the frenzy couldn’t get more intense, those indie shops across the UK—like The Game Collection and Simply Games—are jumping in on the action too. They’re getting more stock, but they’re pushing bundles that might make your wallet cry a bit.

Mark your calendars (or not, if you’re a rebel), ’cause Switch 2 is launching worldwide on June 5, 2025. Price tags? Oh boy, £395.99 in the UK, €469.99 for the folks in Europe, and $449.99 if you’re stateside.

That’s the scoop. Cheers to anyone trying to navigate this pre-order madness.
