Several retailers have new Nintendo Switch 2 bundles available to pre-order, but you'll have to act fast.
The Switch 2 has been available to pre-order in the UK for over a month now, but despite largely selling out everywhere, some retailers are still getting occasional bursts of stock.
Nintendo is selling the Switch 2 in two variants, with the base console priced at £395.99 and a Mario Kart World bundle at £429.99. However, some retailers have started to sell their own bundles featuring other games and accessories.
Along with The Game Collection, Currys is now selling various bundles starting from £569. One of these includes the Mario Kart World bundle, alongside another pair of Joy-Con 2 controllers, the wheel attachment, and a Switch 2 camera.
Another, which also costs £569, comes with the Switch 2 base console, Street Fighter 6, the Switch 2 Pro Controller, and Switch 2 camera.
The more expensive bundles come with additional games on top of the Mario Kart World bundle, with one adding the Switch 2 versions of both Zelda: Breath Of The Wild and Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom for £579.
At the time of writing, the base console is still available at Very and the My Nintendo Store. For the latter, you'll need an active Nintendo Switch Online membership to pre-order (the free trial period doesn't count, unfortunately).

Nintendo Switch 2 console – £395.99
Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World – £429.99

It's very likely these deals will go fast, but it's worth checking back at the above links anyway as restocks do seem to happen on a weekly basis.
The Switch 2 is set to launch worldwide on June 5, 2025, so you have less than two weeks if you want to secure one for release day.
