UK retailer quietly opens first Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order page

Every Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order, price and delivery information in the UK

The Nintendo Switch 2 has not been officially confirmed as available for pre-sale, but sellers have already started to prepare for one of the biggest new console launches of all time.

A UK retailer has opened up a pre-order page as it expects the first orders to open within months. 

Currys has created a page for Nintendo Switch 2 pre orders in the UK. You can see the page here.

There is not a lot on the page but it does have a box to fill in your details. Currys says it will then email you information when pre orders are open. Like us, Currys believes the new Nintendo Switch 2 is likely to be fully revealed at the beginning of April.

Currys says: “All we know is that it’ll be out at some point this year. Nintendo hasn’t completely left us hanging though. That’s because they’ve said that their next Nintendo Direct presentation will air on 2 April 2025 (2pm UK time) and offer a closer look at Nintendo Switch 2. So, we hope they’ll reveal the launch date in that video too.”

There is more evidence Nintendo will be launching the Switch 2 into stores. After Nintendo Direct the games company has booked a series of glitzy events in major cities across the world. They begin in Paris and New York on 4 April and run until 2 June when the ‘Nintendo Direct Experience’ arrives in Seoul.

Nintendo has been typically reluctant to give many details of the new Nintendo Switch console but it has released a short trailer showing the new console. The video shows a bigger screen and larger joy-con controllers, as well as a full-length kick stand at the back. 

The console will be backwards compatible with most Nintendo Switch games and will have a host of new exclusive games at launch. While none have been confirmed we can expect a new Mario Kart game this year. 

Other titles might include a new 3D Mario game and a potential new Zelda game but Nintendo has not confirmed a launch list yet.
