It looks like Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are live at some retailers with some fans securing their console ahead of the official date - but we would still be careful

• Some fans have already secured their console ahead of the official preorder date, April 8
• Amazon UK is currently accepting invites for Switch 2 preorders

Nintendo Switch 2 preorders don't officially begin until April 8, but according to numerous posts online, fans were able to secure their console from websites like Very and Smyths days early.
