Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are live at Argos. The UK chain has officially put the standard model and the Mario Kart World bundle up for pre-order, guaranteeing they will be delivered on release day. Customers can pre-order the system, but unlike most retailers, Argos requires full payment upfront. Argos is also charging customers a delivery fee of £6.95.
The Switch 2 can currently be pre-ordered at Argos for £395.99, which includes the console itself, or £429.99 for the bundle containing a digital copy of Mario Kart World.
Switch 2 will be released worldwide on Thursday, June 5. Other UK retailers have begun their pre-order campaign with Smyths quickly selling out of its allocation yesterday. Elsewhere, the official Nintendo Store will launch its pre-orders on April 8 and is in the process of emailing select Nintendo Switch players in the UK and Europe to offer them the chance to pre-order first.
According to a notice on the My Nintendo Store website: “To reward the most dedicated Nintendo Switch players in Europe and the UK, the opportunity to pre-order a Nintendo Switch 2 console from My Nintendo Store will initially be offered on an invite-only basis to selected Nintendo Switch Online members.”
The first round of invites will be sent out depending on whether users have been Switch Online members for at least two years, have spent a certain amount of time playing Switch games, and have opted in to receive email messages from Nintendo.
