The Nintendo Switch 2 has had a record-breaking launch with millions sold already, but some retailers still have stock available.
It’s been just over a week since the Switch 2 launched around the world, and the console is already an unprecedented success.
The Switch 2 is the fastest-selling console in history, with over 3.5 million units sold in its first four days, according to Nintendo. In comparison, the original Switch managed 2.7 million within its first month in 2017.
While some of this success can be attributed to Mario Kart World, these sales numbers are largely down to the amount of stock Nintendo had ready for launch. The console has never been unavailable for long and some UK retailers have already replenished their supply.
At time of writing, Argos has the Switch 2 console and the Mario Kart World bundle in stock, priced at £395.99 and £429.99, respectively. You can also click and collect from stores if you want to pick up the console on the same day, depending on your area.
While most other retailers are sold out at the moment, there is a Switch 2 bundle available to pre-order on Very too, which will be available for delivery from Friday, June 20. This bundle includes the Switch 2 base console, Pro Controller, and 256GB SanDisk MicroSD card for £520.

When bought separately, the Pro Controller and MicroSD card cost £74.99 and £49.99 respectively, so you’re only saving £1 with this bundle. It’s worth pointing out too that you can use your original Switch Pro Controller on the Switch 2, but if you don’t have one already and you’re craving the new console, it’s an option at least.

While most of the Switch 2 accessories tend to stay in stock longer than the console itself the new Pro Controller has become difficult to find, although both Argos and Currys currently have it in stock.
Although the Switch 1 Pro Controller will work on the Switch 2, the new version is more comfortable to use and has two additional programmable buttons at the back, as well as a headphone jack.
Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Wireless Controller at Argos – £74.99

While Mario Kart World is the main attraction, the Switch 2’s launch line-up also includes Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, Split Fiction, Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut, Fast Fusion, and various upgrades to original Switch games.
As for upcoming titles, Donkey Kong Bananza launches next month, while Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Kirby Air Riders, and Pokémon Legends: Z-A are all set to come out later this year.
