Retail giants are not holding back on Nintendo Switch pre-orders. Now, GAME has jumped on the bandwagon alongside Amazon and EE with Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders - but don't dawdle.

GAME is offering the Nintendo Switch 2 console and the Mario Kart World bundle for 395.99 and 429.99, respectively. However, gaming enthusiasts will need to be swift as these items have been flying off the virtual shelves.

In addition to the console, GAME also has accessories available for pre-order for those looking to enhance their gaming experience. These pre-orders are set to be dispatched on June 5.

For those who miss out, there are other options - although they may face a challenge as consoles have been selling out in less than an hour.

Nintendo has restricted pre-orders to its most loyal fans, stipulating that customers must have at least two years of continuous Nintendo Switch Online membership and meet certain purchase and playtime criteria - a significant drawback considering competing brands do not require such extensive information, reports the Mirror.

Amazon is also partnering with Nintendo to offer invites. You can request an invite to purchase the console right here.

Meanwhile, retailers like EE, Very, Smyths Toys, among others, launched their pre-orders earlier this week. However, as of now, they are sold out.

It's worth keeping tabs on these stores in case you manage to snag one quickly.

We've put together a comprehensive list of stores and retailers that Switch fans should monitor:.

For those who already own a console, pre-orders for accessories are also available. Very is currently offering all the accessories and games for the Switch 2.

Gaming enthusiasts can pre-order all the latest gadgets and games - there might even be a chance to grab a bundle if it becomes available in stock. Just remember to scroll down to find them.

ShopTo also has the accessories ready for purchase. Here, customers can buy the Pro controller for 74.95, and by scrolling down the main page, they can pre-order the games, including the new Mario Kart World.
