Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 have now opened around the world, so here's where you can pick up a console in the UK.
Nintendo's reveal of the Switch 2 may still be suffering from some confusion over the finer details, but that hasn't stopped millions of people from pre-ordering the console.
The Switch 2's launch is just over a month away, on June 5, 2025, and many retailers have already sold out. This week, pre-orders in the US and Japan also opened, with the latter seeing unprecedented demand.
Nintendo's next console looks set for a record-breaking launch, but retailers across the UK and Europe are still only getting intermittent restocks – which makes securing a console very difficult.
In the UK, the Switch 2 base console costs £395.99, while the limited time Mario Kart World bundle is priced at £429.99. This knocks off £33 from the game's £66.99 digital price, effectively making it half price.
The bundle is currently sold out at most retailers, but there were restocks at The Game Collection and Amazon this week – so it's vital to keep an eye on the list belowto see if the bundle comes back into stock.
Alternatively, you can pre-order Switch 2 accessories (now without an invite) through the My Nintendo Store.
This includes the GameCube controller, priced at £58.99, which will launch on the same day as the Switch 2, to promote the roster of GameCube games arriving on Nintendo Switch Online.
Elsewhere, there's the Switch 2 camera, which is required if you want to broadcast your face while playing Mario Kart World. More Trending
here's also a cheaper camera modelled after a Piranha Plant, but the image quality is worse, at 480p resolution compared to the former's 1080p.
All the accessories listed below launch alongside the console on June 5, 2025. Nintendo GameCube controller – £58.99
Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller – £74.99
Joy-Con 2 controller set – £74.99
Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip – £29.99
Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case – £66.99
Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case & Screen Protector – £20.99

Cast of beloved 70s drama claim one episode 'would not happen today'
The cast of Little House on the Prairie have unpacked a wild episode of the beloved show, insisting it wouldn't see the light of day today. The drama ran for nine seasons between 1974 and 1983, and focused on the Ingalls family living in Walnut Grove in Minnesota at the end of the 1800s. Michael Landon, Melissa Gilbert, Karl Swenson, Richard Bull and Karen Grassle made up the cast, while stars Alison Arngrim and Dean Butler teamed up with Pamela Bob to start a podcast looking back on their experiences ahead of the upcoming Netflix reboot. Appearing on the latest episode of Little House 50, they reflected on season four episode Here Comes the Brides, which aired on December 5, 1977 – it followed Adam Simms (Joshua Bryant) and his 'shoeless' son Luke (Bob Marsic) moving to town and causing a stir with locals. While Adam made a beeline for Eva Beadle (Charlotte Stewart), Luke quickly fell in love with Nellie (Alison) – with the youngsters running away to tie the knot.

Their marriage didn't last long and was very quickly annulled, but that wasn't the only ceremony to shock locals, as Eva and Adam also went on to get married. Lifting the lid on the instalment, Alison declared: 'I love this episode so much … It's just a display of adolescent rebellion, pouting and smoking, massive hormonal love… it really is Romeo and Juliet just gone berserk. 'The hormones go wild, it's just crazy.' 'I am 15 in this episode,' she clarified, branding it 'one of her favorite' episodes. 'It aired in December so we shot it a few months before. I would have just turned 15 in January. 'So I was 15 probably in a few months when we shot this. 'I was super super super puberty, teenage insanity happening. It was hilarious. So, it was so perfect. The first time she rebels against her mom, the first time she falls in love…' However, while the actress was 15 during filming, she shared that her character was two years younger. 'I'm sorry, I'm 15 so she's just barely 13,' she continued. 'This cat is playing, I guess, 16, 17? He's 27 years old. He was late 20s, definitely older than 25.' Alison later corrected herself and explained that Bob was 22 at the time. She joked of the fictional Walnut Grove natives: 'We're children, teenagers… We're not just like, 'Gee, he's cute! Hi there'. We're like, '[Forcefully] Hi, what are you doing later?' 'There young girls, these children, accosting a grown man who they have not been introduced to…' Pamela agreed that there was no 'swag or subtlety', quipping: 'It's straight in for the kill. 'There is no swag on the prairie. No one's got game on the prairie. 'That would not happen today, right? Casting a full-grown adult to play or even kiss – and it was an innocent kiss, but it's a kiss – a minor.' Alison added that, if those scenes were being filmed now, there would be intimacy coordinators on set to help ensure that everyone involved was safe and comfortable. The actress recently left fans devastated when she confirmed that she would not be popping up on the Little House on the Prairie reboot currently in the works at Netflix. Bosses teased that they would offer a 'fresh take on the iconic story', with Rebecca Sonnershine leading the was as showrunner and executive producer. More Trending Alison, who played Nellie Oleson from 1974 to 1982, later shared that her original castmates would be taking a back seat. 'None of us, as far as I know, our gang, are in at this point,' she told ReMIND, adding: 'I have been joking for years that I'm finally old enough to play Mrs. Oleson, so call me!

Fiona Harvey says she's going blind during 'stress' of Baby Reindeer lawsuit
The woman who inspired Richard Gadd's hit series Baby Reindeer has revealed she is going blind. Fiona Harvey, 59, a Scottish law graduate, is currently at the centre of a multi-million dollar defamation lawsuit against Netflix. Last year the dark comedy was released on the streaming service, which stated at the start that it was 'a true story'. The seven-episode series was written by and based on the real-life experience of Gadd, who plays amateur comedian Donny. Over the course of several years, he is stalked and abused by Martha, played by Jessica Gunning. Following its release, internet sleuths seemingly found the 'real Martha' – Harvey – who has taken the streaming giant to court, demanding £132million for her supposed depiction in the series.

Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Now, however, Harvey has shed light on how she has been diagnosed with background retinopathy. The law graduate told the Record: 'I'm going blind and it's not surprising with the stress I have been under as a result of Baby Reindeer. 'I am diabetic and had always been able to keep my blood sugars under control, but my blood sugars have been wild ever since Richard Gadd's show aired. 'I am not sleeping properly, I'm not able to eat properly, I'm not able to get proper exercise because I'm virtually a prisoner in my own home.' It is said that Harvey received confirmation that she had the illness on Thursday after undergoing eye tests at a London hospital. The condition affects people with diabetes and occurs when high blood sugar levels damage light sensitive tissue. Although people with stage one of the disease do not suffer vision loss, it is more than likely that vision problems will continue over time. According to the Record, a copy of the letter confirms her diagnosis, saying: 'Dear Dr Fiona Harvey, Your test results show that you do have background retinopathy.' Harvey went on to add that her sugars 'were fine' until Baby Reindeer and it 'led to all my physical health problems'. 'I don't have money for proper food. I feel it could lead to blindness very quickly in both eyes,' she continued. Previously, Harvey alleged that the series falsely implied she had sexually assaulted Gadd and had been sent to prison for stalking him. Although Netflix filed a motion in July to throw the suit out in July, a judge ruled towards the end of last year that Baby Reindeer did not live up to its billing as a 'true story' and has allowed Harvey to pursue the court case. Netflix has defended the lawsuit and Gadd's 'right to tell his story', but at the crux is the claim that Harvey has no criminal convictions, unlike Martha. The streaming platform continues to argue in legal papers that the alleged defamatory statements are 'substantially true'.

Coronation Street's Todd makes another shock discovery about Theo
Falling for scaffolder Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) hasn't been easy for Coronation Street's Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce). From the outset there was a strong attraction between them and instant chemistry, but it was soon apparent that Theo was having difficulties with the situation. It wasn't long before Todd found out that Theo was struggling to come to terms with his sexuality and had been basically trying to ignore the fact that he's gay for most of his life. Soon Todd made the additional discovery that Theo is married to a woman called Danielle (Natalie Anderson) and has two teenage children. Despite these complications, and revealing that he endured conversion therapy when he was younger, Theo has decided that his future is with Todd and he's not going to hide who he is any longer. Things are far from plain sailing for Todd and Theo's relationship, even so. Theo's daughter Millie (Kaitlyn Earley) has recently dropped the bombshell that she's pregnant, and Theo has moved back to the family home to support her, leaving Todd feeling frustrated that the relationship always seems to be two steps forward and one step back. 'The stakes are quite high immediately because of what Theo is potentially giving up for the relationship, but also because of what Todd is putting on the relationship as well,' Gareth Pierce told Metro at the British Soap Awards. 'The stakes are high for Todd because he actually really wants this one to work. There's lots to come.' In upcoming episodes Theo tries his best to reassure Todd that he does value their relationship and sees his future with Todd, while warning him that he'll always have to prioritise his kids, whatever happens.
