Pre-Order Super Mario Maker 2 in the UK
The Nintendo Official UK Store is offering diorama sets, a pad and pencil, memberships to Nintendo Switch Online, and the lovely Switch stylus which looks great for creating your levels in handheld mode. Or alternatively, you could get just the game on its own for less via other sites like Amazon or ShopTo.
Will you be grabbing one of these pre-orders? Let us know which one you go for in the comments below.

So is that pen/stylus still only available in certain regions?
Are we going to get spammed this one over twitter now? At least these ones have stock.
Unlike the Legend of Zelda Awakening post (as all of them were sold out before you originally posted but you keep on re-posting it)
Any who, had my pre-order in after the reveal of the story mode. Can't wait for Friday (even though knowing Nintendo UK Store I won't actually get it until Monday)
@NotTelevision Only in EU and JP (and not by all retailers, or through the eShop (limited edition))
So wait, which one has the stylus? That's the only extra I want and it doesn't seem to be listed under any of them...
I've pre-ordered with Game in the UK. I can't remember the last time I did that, but I genuinely think it was the best deal - with the stylus and the other bits and pieces. They have the Limited Edition with Steelbook option at £54.99 too.
@sanderev It says here: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Support/Nintendo-Switch/-MNS-How-to-redeem-a-code-for-a-special-Super-Mario-Maker-2-themed-Nintendo-Switch-stylus-1560654.html
... that you can get it through the eShop with the limited edition. But when you look there - or at any of the options listed above - it's not explicitly listed.
Does anyone know for a fact what the deal is here?
Australia: Doesn't exist
Nintendo opening there 2nd store in the world!!!! Could you cover it?!
Pretty sure my Japanese pre-order comes with the pen. But I'd have to double check to be certain.
I’ve already received the Stylus (from the digital preorder). It’s good quality for a freebie
@dystome When you pre-order the limited edition you get a code you can use in the MyNintendo store. Nintendo will send you the stylus for free then.
I received my pen / stylus last week.
add battle royal mode to boost online subscription numbers
OH MY DOG! UK is getting so much good stuff!
@Tantani Is this the one in Japan? Can't see anything about it opening today on other sites either? Link me up since I actually want to read about that!
@frabbit no, Japan will be the third one later this year, today they open a shop in Tel Aviv Israel 🇮🇱
@sanderev Ah good, thanks.
North America gets nothing Unless your a Prime member! And the fact that the Nintendo store itself is giving away such cool stuff. And it's not a country/region specific store chain pisses me off evenmore.
Target (US) is giving away a free tin lunchbox when you pick the game up in store. I'm pretty sure it's in store only. I'm bummed I already pre-ordered it online. May try to buy 1 anyway.

Do you know any details or limitations about this deal @rjejr? The stupid Target flyer won't let you zoom in to read the details or fine print.
So NA gets no extra bonuses except a lunch box from Target and and 12 month Switch online for an extra $10?
I was going to do a voucher, but I couldn't pass up the Switch Online bundle... only $56 with the gamer discount at Best Buy.
@BacklogBlues it’s not just this set... shrugs
@sanderev it’s not just EU/Jp it’s also AU as well
CBA charging carts any more.
If they did preorder bonuses with eShop games, that'd be great.
Even better, bring back physical "gold points" rewards, and give me extra points for an eShop preorder.. how hard is that??!
Come on, Nintendo!!
Europe always getting those nice steelbooks..
Target has a neat SMM2 tin lunch box that comes with a copy of the game to those who like those sorts of things. I had preordered from Amazon for that decent discount but I’m thinking of changing it to the digital.
So pretty much nothing for the Americas huh? Maybe I'll just wait a few months before grabbing this one.
I dont really care for "extra goodies" i just want the game and the pen
I hope Nintendo has more stuff in the game that they did not show off and everyone is under an NDA to not talk about it. I mean there must be since they were only allowed to show so much.
Side Note: 79.99 here, comes up to 91 bucks after taxes, all new games here hurt the wallet.
@BacklogBlues
Fine print - Free Super Mario Maker 2 lunch tin when you purchase Super Mario Maker 2 for Switch.**
Pick up at the Electronics counter. Availability varies by store.
Target has both the $59.99 normal version and $69.99 1 year NO bundle listed, so I'd guess you'd get it with either of those.
Thanks @rjejr
@dystome Thanks dude! That link saved me so much frustration on looking for the page. Seems that the shipping is free >.>
Some of those look pretty cool, but, I gotta get it digital, so, I guess I'll just do the voucher.
I've heard the stylus they're offering (some) people is a pretty low-end one. Not surprising they're not giving out a top quality item. I just looked into alternatives and found plenty of "not available in stores", and Amazon has one that's not available until next week. I still wish they had gone with the type of touch screen the Wii U had. I prefer a stylus that comes to fine point, not one that feels like you're using a pencil eraser.
So, lots of great choices there. I guess it's docked with the controller or fingertips for me for awhile. I don't have the filthiest fingers, but I don't really like poking at the screen with them anyway. It's still too smudgy for me. I'm going to do my best to get acclimated to using the pro-controller anyway, because I prefer looking at the TV screen to begin with.
Target had a Mario Maker Lunch Box for preorders, not sure if it's in store.
Had mine pre ordered from a local gameshop but no pen and man I really wanted that. So had to pre-order again from Game UK. They actually ship all over Europe so got the pen coming.
It's a shame the stylus offer isn't coming to the Nordic countries.
lol, all US gets is a free 12 month subscription, while EU gets ten bajillion stuff with their game. WTF NOA? >.<
@rjejr thats amazing! Here in Japan I will be getting the stylus and a bento box. But i would almost rather have the tin lunchbox as the bento box looks to be plastic.
Still cool either way.
@konbinilife Yeah, Target has some cool stuff. I got a cool water pistol w/ Spaltoon. Well 2 actually, somebody on this site mailed me one b/c they knew I liked them so much. And a wheel for Mario Kart, maybe Wii? Which is why I'm kinda bummed I already paid for an pre-ordered this on Switch. A lesson learned.
@rjejr its still not out for a few days. Cant you cancel firsy oreorder and then order through Target?
I actually worked at target a few years ago and theyre my fav big box retailer. Too bad there isnt one in my hometown.
@dystome The Eshop has sold out of the Stylus pre-order. I pre-ordered the wrong version and Nintendo said they would refund me, by the time they did it had sold out
@Welshland Gah. Well, from my Amazon investigations I gather generic styluses (styli?) sold for use with Android phones, tablets, etc. do work with the Switch, so you can still have the functionality but without the Nintendo branding.
@konbinilife I didn't think Nintendo offered refunds on the eShop. And I paid for it with digital eShop codes I bought on Amazon, with Amazon gift cards I bought at the grocery store b/c they were "buy $100 get $15 off". I used the rest of the eShop money to buy the XC2 Torna game on sale for $26.
So I think we'll just stick with what I bought, seems like a good game to own digitally.
@Joeynator3000
The 12 month subscription isn't free, it's just half price. And if you order from the eShop, be sure you're on the right page. It's treated as two different items, and if you end up in the game-only version it will not offer or remind you about the online deal. And customer service won't be able to correct it for you if you get the wrong one.
So I would up having to pay the whole 19.99. I'll certainly be paying closer attention if there's ever another offer like that.
I posted 2 in the morning, shush. lol
