Okay, let’s just dive into this. GAME just yelled from the rooftops—or maybe just their stores—that you can now lock in a pre-order for the Nintendo Switch 2. They’re calling it your “final chance,” which sounds kind of dramatic, but hey, who doesn’t love some drama over gaming consoles, right?
So, here’s the scoop: you can hit up certain stores (don’t ask me which ones because I lost track) and drop a £20 deposit to make sure you’ve got a Switch 2 on launch day. That’s June 5th, in case you haven’t plastered it all over your calendar yet. I mean, who knows, maybe you’ll just wander into a store and remember this conversation. Anyway, they’ve got a regular console or a bundle with Mario Kart World. You gotta go in-store for all the nitty-gritty details because apparently, that’s a thing now.
By the way, this week’s been a bit mad with other UK retailers like The Game Collection and Simply Games jumping on the bandwagon. They’ve been dishing out more stocks in bundles that might drain your wallet a bit more than you wanted. Ouch, right?
So yes, mark June 5, 2025, the launch day when you’ll trade your hard-earned cash for the shiny new thing at £395.99 in the UK (or whatever gets thrown around in euros or dollars if you’re elsewhere). Why can’t we all just have the same currency? Life would be so much simpler, but I digress.
Anyway—wait, what was it—ah, yeah, there’s some fancy trailer they dropped, which I haven’t seen because, you know, life is busy or maybe I was just snacking instead. If trailers are your thing, it’s out there somewhere on YouTube, probably with overly enthusiastic hosts telling you why it’s groundbreaking or whatever.
Catch you in the chaos, fellow gamer.
