Nintendo Switch 2 preorders launch on Amazon UK

Amazon UK has removed its invitation requirement for Switch 2 preorders, opening reservations to all customers. The retailer's policy ensures no charges until shipment, making this a risk-free way to secure your console. While some customers initially saw incorrect June 7th delivery estimates, Amazon confirms actual shipments will arrive by the official June 5th launch date.

Unlike the turbulent US market, UK preorders remain stable with consistent pricing and availability. Interestingly, some US customers report successfully placing UK orders via international shipping, though results may vary.

Editor's Preview Insights

IGN's Logan Plant shared these impressions from early Switch 2 hands-on sessions: "The upgraded hardware justifies its premium pricing through meaningful improvements. However, the £450 console plus £80 Mario Kart package presents pricing challenges for Nintendo's traditional family audience."

US Preorder Delay Announcement

Nintendo has postponed US Switch 2 preorders indefinitely due to tariff uncertainties, though maintains the global June 5 launch remains unaffected. The company stated: "We're pausing US preorders to assess tariff impacts and market conditions while confirming the June 5 launch date remains unchanged."

UK Ordering Recommendations

Amazon's payment-upon-dispatch policy makes it the optimal choice for UK preorders, contrasting with retailers requiring immediate payment. While Nintendo Store prioritizes loyal customers, Amazon employs a equitable lottery system. Alternative retailers like Currys may implement queue-based ordering systems similar to their PS5 rollout.
