Nintendo Switch 2 UK stock live: Consoles available at Amazon now
It's now been two weeks since the Nintendo Switch 2 launched, and stock is still vanishing fast. Amazon currently has both the standalone console and the Mario Kart World bundle available, but as always, there's no telling how long they'll stick around.
EE continues to offer the console to existing customers, while ShopTo now has the Switch 2 available for next-day delivery. That's rare, given how quickly stock has been disappearing elsewhere.
This week, we've also seen fresh restocks at both Game and the My Nintendo Store, but both sold out quickly. I'm updating this page with the latest stock updates and Nintendo Switch 2 news, so keep checking back. This is the only stock checker you need.
Nintendo Switch 2 specs
The Switch 2 might look familiar, but there's a lot going on underneath. It's powered by a new custom Nvidia chip, so games don't just load faster, they look better and run more smoothly. You get 12GB of RAM (up from 4GB on the original Switch), and most of that goes straight into powering games, not just background stuff.
The screen is still LCD, not OLED, but it's bigger at 7.9in and has 1080p resolution. It supports HDR and a 120Hz refresh rate. Colours pop more, and motion looks buttery-smooth in handheld mode. There's also DLSS upscaling built in, so older games look better. Sadly, while it supports variable refresh rates, it doesn't work when docked – just in handheld mode.
Nintendo Switch 2 price
The Nintendo Switch 2 on its own costs £399.99, and the main bundle with Mario Kart World costs £429.99. Buying the bundle saves you £40 compared to picking up the game separately, so it's better value if you're planning to grab it anyway.
No big discounts yet – it hasn't even been out a month, after all – but some retailers have larger, more expensive bundles. These include the new Switch 2 camera (£49, Amazon.co.uk), the Pro controller (£74.99, Very.co.uk) and the official carry case and screen protector (£20.99, Amazon.co.uk), as well as extra games and accessories.
Nintendo Switch 2 launch games
There are plenty of new Nintendo Switch 2 games at launch. Mario Kart World is the big one, but you've also got upgraded versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, plus mammoth games like Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition and Hogwarts Legacy – two games that really test the console's muscle.
Other launch day games include Hades 2, Split Fiction, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Street Fighter 6, Survival Kids and Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. You've also got Yakuza 0: Director's Cut, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and Deltarune Chapters 1–4, plus more niche picks like Fantasy Life i and Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD. Civilization VII and No Man's Sky are here too, and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour acts as a mini showcase for the new hardware.
On top of that, loads of older Nintendo titles have been patched with free performance updates, and Wind Waker, F-Zero GX and Soul Calibur II are now available through the new Switch Online GameCube library.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller is a big step up from the original, but it has been selling out as quickly as the console itself. It finally has two re-mappable triggers on the back, there's a built-in a headphone jack for a wired headset, and there's a C button for GameChat. Right now, the only place where you can buy one is at Amazon.
When you finally get your Nintendo Switch 2, you'll notice that you won't be able to slot your current microSD cards in and play your existing games. While you can transfer them over from your OG Switch to the new one, you'll need a microSD Express card, not the regular one. The official product from Nintendo and SanDisk gives you an extra 256GB of storage and costs £49.99.

Five Nintendo Switch 2 settings to change as soon as you fire up your new console
The Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to Nintendo Switch, dropped earlier this month and users can't get enough The Nintendo Switch 2 has launched in the UK and, after a flurry of pre-orders, the newest console is now available to buy. Nintendo may have already sold out of stock, but the Switch 2 may still be free to purchase from other stores. Prices start at £395 and demand has been soaring, with retailers like Currys opening its stores at midnight for gamers to pick up their pre-ordered devices. The main selling point of the Switch 2 is its upgraded graphics, boosted performance, and a bigger and brighter display. But before you tear into your new system, you may want to adjust your settings for the best experience. The experts at TechRadar compiled a list of what they see as must-change settings from the get-go. They believe making these tweaks is vital for gamers before settling down for a marathon session on their new console. HDR settings Nintendo's latest console supports HDR, and you can easily toggle this on and off within the settings. Head to Settings > Display > HDR Output and make sure this setting is on by default. A second setting allows you to choose which games it's enabled for. Scroll down in the Display menu, and you'll see another HDR Output option. Select this and choose between 'Always Enabled', 'Compatible Software Only', and 'Disabled'. Switching it on for compatible games instead of the default always-on setting ensures non-compatible games look as good as ever. Preserve the battery life If you've experienced a battery degradation on your first-generation Nintendo Switch, the Switch 2 offers a setting that caps your battery life at around 90 per cent while it's on charge, which should help your battery long-term. Head to Settings > System > Stop Charging Around 90 per cent. You can easily toggle this on and off any time, so if you want a full charge every now and then for a long day of gaming in handheld mode, it's just a matter of a quick trip to the settings. Alternatively, you can simply outsource the load and try a portable battery for your Nintendo Switch 2. TV resolution The Nintendo Switch 2 can support screen resolutions up to 4K, although at a 60Hz refresh rate and 60fps for most titles, but you might have different ideas for your new console. Again, head to Settings > Display > TV Resolution. Within the settings, you can toggle automatic resolution detection or manually set the resolution for your TV, especially handy if you would prefer the higher refresh rates available in 1440p or 1080p resolutions. Change your lock settings You may want to change your Lock Screen settings with the system lock menu. Head to Settings > User , where you can select Skip Selection Screen if you're the only one using the console regularly. Otherwise, head to Settings > System > Console Lock . Here, you can set a PIN to keep your console exclusive to you, and you can also opt to add parental controls using the dedicated Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app. Activate dark mode To conserve power and give your eyes a break, particularly if you prefer playing handheld, switch to the dark theme over the standard white theme. Navigate to Settings > Themes and select between Basic White and Basic Black. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Constellium bets on lighter, recycled aluminium for future planes
PARIS, June 19 (Reuters) - Constellium is testing lighter alloys and more comprehensive recycling as the aluminium processor positions itself for future single-aisle jets, where competition from composite materials is set to intensify. Having lost share to composites in larger planes like Airbus' ( opens new tab A350 and Boeing's (BA.N), opens new tab 787, aluminium suppliers have held their ground in existing smaller models like the Airbus A320, helped by low-density alloys and the industry's familiarity with using aluminium for mass-produced jets. Aluminium still has plenty of demand to come from current models, after a boom in plane orders and as recent supply chain snags ease. Metals analyst CRU projects 8% average annual growth in aluminium consumption in aerospace in Europe and North America during 2024-29. But as attention turns to the next generation of narrow-body jets, aluminium will renew its tussle with composites, with suppliers of the metal like Constellium and Novelis ( opens new tab competing with composites providers like Hexcel (HXL.N), opens new tab. Planemakers, focused on emissions savings and output rates, are studying novel materials like thermoplastics to ally composites' lightweight appeal with more efficient production processes. Constellium expects Airbus and Boeing to choose materials for future single-aisle models around 2029-2030, and the supplier aims to push aluminium's edge in recycling as well as further progress in alloys, Philippe Hoffmann, president of aerospace and transportation at Constellium, told Reuters. "Today, what's on the drawing board or at least on the agenda is the design and concepts for the successor to the A320," Hoffmann said at the Paris Airshow. In terms of weight, crucial for planemakers, Constellium has demonstrated a weight saving of 20% in tests of a wing concept involving new alloys and a welding process that removes the need for rivets, he said. The use of friction stir welding, borrowed from Constellium's work on space programmes, will also allow more automation in manufacturing panels, he added. Constellium sees more room to exploit aluminium's greater reusability compared with composites, with recycled aluminium saving 95% in energy use versus virgin metal. The firm is studying better retrieval of scrap per alloy during production as well as recovery of metal from a growing fleet of planes at the end of their lifecycle. "Aluminium was being recycled before we were born," he said. "They (composites) have a lot of qualities but the maturity in recycling is not the same."

Volkswagen's 400-HP EV With In-Wheel Motors Could Preview Future Golf R
It Would Rewrite The Hot Hatch Performance Rulebook Volkswagen is said to be working on a hot version of the ID 2 small hatchback, likely to be known as the ID 2 R. While VW doesn't sell a hatchback smaller than the Golf in the United States, the ID 2 R could pave the way for the future all-electric Golf R, and VW seems to have come up with a clever way of integrating electric motors. These plans were revealed by Autocar, with its sources suggesting the ID 2 R will use electric hub motors situated in the rear wheels. As we'll see, this layout has multiple benefits. 0:06 / 0:09 Nissan's revolutionary self-driving tech hits Japan's streets Watch More A Cut Above The Source: Volkswagen VW is already expected to debut the electric in 2026, but the new ID 2 R will be a lot more advanced. In addition to the front-mounted electric motor in the GTI, the R model will get independently controlled motors within the rear wheels, dramatically increasing performance and enabling all-wheel drive, which has traditionally been associated with the Golf R. By not going the more conventional dual-motor route, VW will be able to save weight and reduce the impact on trunk space, both important considerations in a compact car. Whereas the ID 2 GTI will make around 286 horsepower, a more likely output in the three-motor ID 2 R will be about 400 hp. This, together with the torque vectoring made possible by the hub motors, should make for a shockingly quick and agile hot hatch. Even more performance could be extracted from the larger Golf R EV with the same setup. Pros And Cons To Hub Motors Source: Volkswagen While hub motors have many advantages, they can also increase unsprung mass – the weight of the components not supported by the suspension – which can negatively impact handling and grip. On the upside, the ID 2 R's tech has the potential to filter through to other small VWs with all-wheel drive. It would also allow cars with FWD, RWD, and AWD to be more easily built on the same platform, reducing costs and complexity.

For now, the Golf R will soldier on as a potent ICE hatchback with its 328-hp turbo engine, snappy dual-clutch transmission, and dependable AWD system. But the potential of an electric successor looks bright – don't expect it to arrive much earlier than 2029 or 2030, though, especially with multiple brands backtracking on their EV plans.
