The upcoming console has a bigger screen, new games and more built-in features. Fans have reported that pre-ordering has been a struggle, leading some to have to take their chances and wait for stores to offer consoles for general sale. Asda might be a good place for Nintendo gamers to secure the console, which is undoubtedly going to be popular. The supermarket announced that it would be offering the Mario Kart World Bundle for £429.98 from launch day. The new Mario Kart World is an exclusive Switch 2 title that is filled with the same hilarious racing mayhem that fans of the franchise have come to know and love. The console will be available online at once stock arrives in-store. Alternatively, shop the console bundle in selected Asda locations (listed below) from Thursday, June 5, while stocks last.

However, the bundle that comes with a digital code for Mario Kart World is still out of stock. It comes as UK retailer GAME has acknowledged that it has cancelled several online pre-orders for the Switch 2.

On the official Nintendo website, the Nintendo Switch 2 can be pre-ordered by Nintendo Switch Online members for £395.99.
