I’ve ordered two 40th anniversary switch consoles just in case one retailer lets me down, and on the odd chance that both do infact arrive I was wondering if anyone wanted the extra one? I wouldn’t charge anything over what I paid for it but I’m sure there’s lots of people who couldn’t get hold of one, but yeah just dm me and if both get dispatched I’ll let you know

Hey have you guys seen the replaceable battery option at Smyth Toys?

When I checked with Nintendo Store they said that theirs won't have it at launch which have pi**ed me off so much that I feel like cancelling that order and taking my chances to hunt for a newer model.

While typing this I got a response from a Nintendo Store rep who confirmed that their models will NOT have replaceable batteries. However, things may change (hoping anyway) and they might give those? 🤷🏾‍♀️ Idk. If it doesn't have the replaceable batteries, upon receipt I'll just return it.

Back in Stock. Seems like there’s 2 links on the website one with stock as of

Did you guys to watch the overview trailer?

I absolutely ADORE the style and love the new features 🤩, I can't wait to dig in. I just WISH they used British voice actors as honestly I'm not really into many the voices 😩. It's not a big deal though, worst comes to worst I'd just change to voice overs (hoping they have that option). The link for the trailer is attached.

Hey everyone!

I’m looking at picking up a Nintendo Switch 2, mainly because I’m travelling a lot more for work these days and fancy having something to play while I’m away.

I haven’t actually owned a Nintendo console since the GameCube, so I’ve missed out on quite a few generations of games! I’m really looking forward to the upcoming Pokémon and Legend of Zelda games, but I’d love some advice from people who are already enjoying their Switch 2.

A few things I’m wondering about:

1. Game recommendations?

I’m mainly interested in single-player experiences with a good story, exploration, or just something I can sink hours into while travelling. I’ve been looking at Donkey Kong Bananza, which looks great, but what else would you recommend? I’m open to pretty much anything!

2. Streaming apps?

Can you get apps like Netflix, Disney+ or Amazon Prime Video on the Switch 2? And if so, how well do they work? It would be great to have one device for gaming and watching stuff while I’m away in hotels.

3. The Zelda 40th Anniversary console – use it or keep it sealed?

This is probably my biggest dilemma!
I’ve currently got the 40th Anniversary Edition Legend of Zelda console on pre-order, but I’m torn about what to do with it.

Part of me thinks it might be worth keeping it sealed as a collectible and picking up a standard Switch 2 to actually use. But the other part of me thinks I should just say fuck it, open the Zelda edition and enjoy it as my main console.

Do you reckon these special editions will hold their value or become genuinely collectible over time? Or am I overthinking it and should just enjoy the thing?

Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts, especially from anyone who’s made the jump back to Nintendo after a long break!

Cheers!

Ocarina of Time edition - Predictable from such a shoddy brand, but yep they cancelled today, when I thought I had been one of the lucky ones. Has anyone elses GAME pre-order survived?

Hey

For those interested the pro controller and stand is in stock again on Mecca-Japan.

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 in the coming days, but I am specifically looking for the newer revision tailored to the EU "right to repair" regulations (the one with the easily replaceable battery instead of the heavily glued one).

Since UK retailers are likely still clearing out older launch stock, I want to buy it in person at a physical store in London so I can check the box and serial numbers before paying.

Has anyone recently bought a Switch 2 in London and managed to get this new batch?

• Which stores are my best bet to find the new stock? Flagship GAME on Oxford Street, Currys, or maybe a larger Argos / Sainsbury's?
• Did the staff give you any trouble when asking to check the serial number/product code on the box before purchasing?

Any tips or confirmed sightings of the new revision in specific London stores would be massively appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Anyone ever ordered from Mecca-Japan?

I saw their advert on Twitter earlier and decided to give them a go since I've read that they're legit. They have different shipping options with the cheapest being £11 something if memory serves. It can get as high as £25 (I think) for DHL.

Sharing incase anyone's interested.

Mine got cancelled too and a similar thing happened to me with Very UK but with the Metroid Ravenous Special Edition.

I guess our last hope will be to wait on the Nintendo Store for restocks (apart from Ebay I guess 🤮). I saw on Nintendo Store Australia's Twitter that they'll be restocking soon so barring that in mind along with the heads up the UK Store said re it restocking at a later date, I think we just have to keep our eyes peeled.

The HotStock App is helpful for updates.

Will update as soon as I see it.

Happy hunting!

Very disappointed yet again.

I will be on a very tight schedule and can only manage to snag something from John and Lewis on my way to my destination. I’m not a citizen of the UK and don’t have a local number. On the site they have mentioned collection is only possible after 3pm, is that only applicable for the immediate next day or for every day for the 7 day period they have it with them? Also if I’m unable to grab it, whats the refund process like?

It's still in stock for those interested. Be warned that the funds are taken instantly upon pre-ordering. Good luck!

Hi all, I only buy digital and of course from the store but wondering whether there are another ways to get cheaper games/deals that are digital downloads through retailers etc?

Went to smyths argos GAME and currys, none of em had it, only for home delivery, did I miss something? Thought it came out the 1st?

All jokes aside, it seems as though everyone and their great granny are able to snag Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Pro-Controller while I keep missing it left and right!

I already know about the UK Nintendo Store's plan to restock... eventually, but so far I've only seen it with the US branch plus with my luck, I might miss it anyway 😵‍💫🫩

How do you guys find them to pre-order so quickly please? 🥺

Nintendo The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Console + The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Nintendo Switch 2 | Very

I don't know if this is widely known, but you can get a Switch 2 Zelda anniversary edition and OoT game from Very for £391.99 if:

• You sign up to Very Credit and this is your first order
• You use the discount code WELCOME

As a bonus, you can then select a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) of 3, 6 or 12 months that is interest free if you pay it off before the period is up.

You will pay a LOT of interest if you don't pay if it off before the end of the period - set up alerts on your phone/email to ensure you pay it. The interest is calculated daily and compounded from the day you set up the deal, but only added on if you don't clear it.

After 12 months, you would see around £130 of interest if you haven't paid before the 12 months is up.

Enjoy your cheap special edition console!

Edit: It keeps getting restocked every few minutes. Either keep refreshing the page or set up an alert with hotstock.io using this item: Nintendo Switch 2 – The Legend of Zelda – 40th Anniversary Edition stock finder alerts in the UK | HotStock

Hi everyone, I’m sure as gamers we are all in the same boat especially on the S2, has so many great offers come into the E shop regular and there’s so many great games dropping each week it’s so hard to keep up!!!

Also, I will admit as soon as I see an update for a switch one classic which I’ve never owned get all refreshed and updated for the S2. I look for it on UK sites like Vinted and get some absolute bargains which I’ve done recently - donkey Kong tropical, Splatoon 3, Luigi mansion 3, the new Batman Lego, Super Mario Bros deluxe - all of those games I’ve paid £12-17 at the most apart from Batman Lego deluxe which was £29.

I think in my backlog, I have us around 45 games at the moment a mix of physical, digital & lots of Indie games in there too like Dave the diver, Hades etc
This isn’t including the GameCube releases etc!!!

Not sure how you are handle the buying and playing of games, but I will admit I do like it to complete the games before I move onto the next! But right now, I’ve started a few too many as I’m too excited to see all these games are!!! Crazy!!!

I’ve just finished the streets of rage 4, which was a good pick up and play game.

My new theories I must complete three or four games before I buy another!!!!! OOT is an exception to the rule!!!

So my order to finish is:
Mario Odyssey
Breath of the wild
Then it must be ocarina of time! That’s gonna jump ahead of the others!!!!
Luigi’s mansion 3
Metroid Dread!
And more!!!!

I will play some casual games in between this such as Mario kart world, FC26 and Fortnite on my Xbox with my boys! etc but the games above on my focus games!

It sure is a great time to be a Nintendo fan!!!!

Managed to snag one, be quick!

Switch 2 and any one of 4 games (Pokopia, Metroid Prime 4, Cyberpunk 2077 and Star Fox) for £374.99.

Well watching TV at 11.45pm and my phone flashing showing deals so I had to snap them up what we all thought was a glitch & still could be!!!!
But seeing Amazon have price matched one the games - maybe it’s not.

So the games in question at £20 each
Cyberpunk
Metroid prime 4
Pokeopia
Starfox

All flagship titles.

There is a code for £5 off £40 spend and I got all 4 for £70!!!!

I do suffer with motion sickness on 1st person games - so will play with settings and try on 2 of them…..and my eldest has his own S2 now so he can play them.

I just bought 1 copy each and hope others do too but I’m sure these are selling like cyberpunk on Vinted for £42 etc

Now I thought was a glitch but read on FB that Argos are crash clearing biggest stock to make way for new S2 stock….ie, Zelda etc

So grab your games quick!

I'm guessing I'm too late? I can't see it on Amazon, Nintendo, Argos or Currys :(

Hi everyone, this is my first post on here and looking forward to being a Big user of this group.

So the question is here in the UK I’ve noticed Nintendo are selling the Zelda switch 2 for around £430 online but Amazon are selling it or pre-orders at £499.
I know that it’s only a recommended retail price, but I honestly thought Amazon would be more around the original price rather than price hiking to profit, I didn’t think this was in the business model to do this.

Do you think they will adjust the price as it’s only a pre-order and they’re using the 499 to put off the people looking to buy lots?
I personally think it’s wrong for them to do this, but then again it’s them making money I guess
