Nintendo Switch 2 UK Preorders Open at Amazon

Amazon UK has removed its invite-only restriction and opened Nintendo Switch 2 preorders to all customers. Orders placed today won't be charged until shipment, providing a risk-free way to secure your console. While some users briefly saw June 7th delivery dates, Amazon confirms this was incorrect - all preorders remain scheduled for June 5th launch day delivery.

The UK preorder situation contrasts sharply with U.S. availability, remaining stable without pricing fluctuations or delays. Interestingly, some American customers report successfully ordering through Amazon UK with international shipping. Your results may vary, but it's worth attempting if U.S. options remain unavailable. Stay updated on availability through @IGNUKDeals on social platforms.

IGN's Expert Preview Analysis

Our preview editor Logan Plant offered this assessment: "While the Switch 2 delivers meaningful upgrades and innovative features like mouse controls at a premium £395 price point, its success depends on mainstream acceptance of Nintendo's new pricing strategy. The console improves significantly on its predecessor, but £80 for Mario Kart World represents a substantial increase over previous entries."

U.S. Preorders Delayed Due to Tariff Concerns

Nintendo has postponed Switch 2 preorders indefinitely in the U.S. market while assessing potential tariff impacts. The company confirms the global June 5th launch date remains unaffected. Originally priced at $449.99 standalone ($499.99 with Mario Kart World bundle), U.S. pricing may adjust pending tariff decisions.
