The Nintendo Switch 2 has been unveiled as gamers eagerly await for pre-orders to go live it seems Argos has become the first, as it's pre-order page opens for the new console. Other third-party retailers have started taking pre-order pages live with long waitlists, as we highlight the pages to save and look out for.

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders just went live at Argos, making the retailer the first out the gate offering actual real-life pre-orders online. I'm not talking pre-registration here, I'm talking instant pre-order. My fellow Hardware Editor Phil Hayton, and myself, have secured our handhelds within the last few minutes.

After months of rumours and endless speculation, the Nintendo Switch 2 is finally official with the Japanese gaming firm revealing that it will arrive in store from June. Although that's still a few months away, fans will be able to pre-order from April 8 but if you can't wait until next week then Argos might be your best bet.
