Where To Buy Pokémon Sword and Shield On Nintendo Switch

Based on the logo design, i prefer Pokemon Sword due to Blue color as my favorite color.
But i will wait for upcoming updates in the future before i choose between Sword and Shield.

I'm getting a bit fed up of Amazon pre-orders arriving on the Monday after a Friday release - so any online retailers still ship for delivery on launch day?

@Ikana64 every other online retailer ! Amazon sucks

thegamecollection.net have pre-orders for £47 for anyone in the UK, plus they don't charge until despatch

an independent store I go to has an exclusive pre-order:

@jco83 @Ikana64 I always get my games from Amazon launch day

Await the digital copy.....

Smyths have them for £45 collected, UK.

Remember - no pre-orders

Walmart's a rip-off at $59.99, and don't get me started on GameStop, but that $59.99 Best Buy price? kisses fingertips Can't beat such an incredible deal.

But seriously, are you guys going broke that you're so desperately trying to make sales from affiliate links already? Even a vulture waits for the corpse to deteriorate a little first before having a nibble.

It has to be Sword...this will be my first ever Pokemon game..but I will get one of the let's go games as soon as there is a decent deal.

This is way too early for me to consider preordering, especially since preorder bonuses are basically nonexistent. They haven't given us enough info for me to work with.

Too early to decide on which version i'll pick it up, let alone pre-order. Not enough info for me to decide this now.

Waiting for reviews.

Where is the "nice pre-order bonus" the tagline mentions?

£39.85 at ShopTo!

Ugh amazonlife with their preorder shilling already...

@EasyDaRon I never understood why people did that

getting shield. I dont lnow the difference between them yet.

@MasterJay UK? Prime or non-Prime?

@Ikana64 I've had a lot of luck with Walmart. Depends on if they are "allowed" to ship the game before release.
I got Shadow of the Tomb Raider two days early.

Imagine picking a Pokemon game just over the logo design.

@Charlie_Girl Who wouldn't want Scorchungus!

How are you meant to decide?! Oh, I prefer swords, * pre-orders Pokémon Sword *

Three months later...
Those legendaries are super cool! But only the shield one. Oh @#£∆.

I am going to buy this game, but do not see any advantage at all to preordering now.

Anyone know a good place to order games online if you're living in Ireland?

I'm thinking I might order my copy online for the first time.

@Ikana64 I don't know if you have Amazon Prime or if that even makes a difference but I have it and when I pre-order games I always get them on release date. The only game that I got late even when pre-ordering was Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.

@Silly_G Are you really too dense to understand why one priced at $59.99 + $10 credit is a better deal than the others at $59.99 with no credit?

This guide was 10/10 useful. Would've never known where to preorder Pokemon without it!

@Silly_G But what about Target? I bet they'll give you a better deal at $59.99.
... and I want to list more but that is literally all I can think of for major retailers these days.
Does K-Mart still exist? Sears? So many dead or dying I can't keep it straight.

@jco83 prime U.S.

@MasterJay well for starters you're paying for Prime so I'd like to hope you do get your pre-orders on release day! In UK I've heard a lot of people getting Amazon pre-orders after release day. My point was comparing that to pretty much all other online retailers which ensure people receive their pre-orders on release day.

@jco83 Ah, ok, I thought that everyone got them launch day, that's annoying for sure

@roadrunner343 : I wasn't paying any attention to that as I am neither from the US or UK, and my post was completely in jest. The irony is that I did end up picking the best deal, so perhaps... not so dense after all?

Too early to preorder, and I will never preorder at all in my life. (unless it is an limited item)

Aaaah, i love how gamefreak is still showing germany their respect naming their games sword and shield, SS for short

@superguy123 Last gen games were Pokemon S&M. Maybe they're trying to see how far they can take this?

I definitely get the digital version. It's really annoying to work with the Pokemon Bank if you have to switch the cartridges all the time.

Would rather hear about that double pack. If it ends up being less money than buying the games separately, I can convince a friend to split that with me.

I got mine preordered last week for €10. Gamestop was doing a trade in a select game and get a preorder game for €10 deal.

They are only £40 at Base. Doubt you'll do better than that.

I always choose what’s on the “left”.
Red
X
Fire Red
Black
Let’s Go Pikachu

So I’ll take Sword

How much is the bundle.

Does anyone know if this will have a Camera function? Because this might be a Pokémon/Pokémon Snap-in-one...

Again, where's this "nice pre-order bonus"?

This article is KIND OF clickbait-y... I mean, if you consider $10 as a pre-order bonus, I guess you guys were being truthful, but....

Waiting for the digital versions... And then 3 copies each of Sword and Shield for the kids and I.

@Silly_G then uou shouldn't comment on an article you didn't even read.

Harumph, a free website, that most of us frequent daily, trying to make extra money through affiliate links? The nerve! grumble, grumble.

I have my copy of Pokemon Sword preordered at EB Games in my town. Paid full price for it.

@Ralizah will we get black diamond and scarlet malachite?

BDSM for short

They can take it as far as they want i guess

@EasyDaRon lol what's there to know? Its the same Pokèmon formula but with more stuff and better! This isn't a brand new series here lol

@Charlie_Girl What the...

Pre order bonus?

the question is where to pre-order the Dual pack with the steelcase / pre-order bonus?

@Ooccoo_Jr I always get mine from Smyths ifnI pre-order. Usually cheapest option and they have never let me down. Twin pack is £90 collected with steel book.

@Ooccoo_Jr sometimes Base.com sell more than they get in though. I've had issues with them before.

Either Sword or Shield with version specific Steelbook (+ some tracksuit clothing dlc) £39.85 from ShopTo.Net

Or the Dual Pack with Steelbook and figurine £89.85

*TheGameCollection.Net have the Dual Pack at £84.95 but no mention of the figurine atm

£39.95 at The Game Collection, just saying.

I cancelled my double pack order. I'm not supporting GF and their lazy techniques to get more and do less. Everyone who is pre-ordering/ buying the game...well have fun with it and I hope you enjoy it

Not touching them until my grass type squad get their travel visas to Galar.

@Ikana64 Try Shopto

what does the UK get all the good stuff? Why does NoA suck?

Does anybody know what the actual purpose of the "double pack" is in the US? Is there any benefit at all to buying two games packaged in a cardboard sleeve for the same price as buying two games not packaged in a cardboard sleeve?

@Mando44646 if you order from the Pokémon center (Which I think is NA addresses only not sure ...) you get keychains as a preorde bonus https://www.pokemoncenter.com/video-game/pokémon-sword-pokémon-shield-double-pack-%28plush-key-chain-gifts-with-preorder%29-716-59697

GameStop also loaded a pre order bonus for this now of a wall poster. https://m.gamestop.com/product/nintendo-switch/games/pokemon-sword-pokemon-shield-double-pack/178527

@NEStalgia you get a nice cardboard sleeve!

I just got tagged in a necropost from a mod...... Rod Serling really is going to walk in now, isn't he?

Interesting timing though, Best Buy emailed me a few days ago saying they added a double sided coin to my order....so apparently we're now getting a nice coin...since it's Pokemon that may actually be meaningful.

What a pointless article

I preordered the bundle pack so I'll be getting both tomorrow morning

I pre-ordered the blood version, which comes with blood. It's only available in the back of my work shed. Hurry, while supplies last.
