The Nintendo Switch 2 will finally arrive on 5 June in the UK but it will only be available to those who have bagged a pre order console.
Very, Currys and Amazon are all listing the next-generation handheld console as out of stock, while Nintendo itself says pre orders are only available for people who have taken out a paid Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
It means those who have not yet secured a pre order will need to head to stores on 5 June to get their hands on the latest console.
Meanwhile, those who have secured a pre order can still find Nintendo Switch 2 carry cases, extra joy-con controllers and extra storage options for the console.
Nintendo has launched pre orders for Nintendo Cube-style controllers for the Switch 2, joy-con controller charging grips, Nintendo Switch 2 cameras and a joy-con wheel.
The Nintendo Switch 2 carry case is priced at £20.99 and is on sale here alongside the full range of accessories and upgrades.
There are also a handful of new Nintendo Switch 2 games that fans can pre order so they'll be available at launch when the console arrives in stores. The full list of Nintendo Switch 2 games are:
