Look Sports Media – The UK gaming scene is buzzing with anticipation as Smyths Toys announces midnight launch events for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 across all its UK stores. Starting at 12:01 AM on Thursday, June 5th, pre-order holders will be able to grab their consoles and jump straight into the action. However, the excitement comes with a catch: Smyths confirms limited stock will be available for walk-in purchases, leaving many gamers scrambling for a chance to snag the coveted console. A photo ID is required for pre-order collection.
Adding to the midnight mayhem, select Smyths stores in Belfast, Glasgow, Hull, Romford, and Stockport are hosting special launch events starting at 11 PM on June 4th, featuring Mario Kart gameplay demos and free goodie bags for the first 100 attendees. No registration is needed—just show up and celebrate the next generation of Nintendo gaming.
Meanwhile, Currys PC World is joining the launch party, but with a more exclusive approach. Their midnight launch is limited to the Oxford Street, London location and only for those who pre-ordered through them. While other Currys stores might follow suit, nothing is confirmed yet. Rumors swirling on the Nintendo Switch 2 subreddit suggest a potential midnight launch in Edinburgh, but confirmation is still pending.

The launch isn’t without its hiccups. Game, another major UK retailer, recently apologized for cancelling several Switch 2 pre-orders, causing significant frustration among gamers. However, they’ve since offered affected customers a chance to re-preorder using a unique discount code, which expired on Saturday evening. The reasons behind the initial cancellations remain unclear, leaving a lingering question mark over the retailer’s pre-order management. The gaming community waits with bated breath to see if this launch will be a smooth victory or a chaotic scramble for the new console.
