Update []: And Switch 2 is here! Check out the stores below if you didn't manage to get a pre-order in - select retailers were offering consoles without a pre-order at certain midnight openings, and with Nintendo seeking to restock shelves as soon as possible, there's still a chance you'll be able to pick up a Switch 2 in the first week or two post-launch.
Original Story: Nintendo Switch 2 launched on Thursday 5th June and is available to buy now - if you can find it in stock. It's a hot-ticket item, with pre-orders selling out in most places, but retailers advertised units available for walk-in customers to buy at the system's midnight launch.
In this guide, we've collected the latest info, plus the best Switch 2 purchase options from Nintendo and reputable retailers in the US and UK, including any discounts or bundle deals.
We've also included Switch 2 controllers, accessories (such as cards and cases), as well as games.
