Customers furious after Game cancels Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders

Affected customers - who have waited years for the console launch - have reacted with fury.

The Switch 2 has already attracted some controversy from fans who questioned the price of some of its games - with a boxed edition of Mario Kart World coming in at £74.99. Gamers who no longer have a pre-order may consider turning to the return of the midnight launch, which used to be part-and-parcel of game releases but has become far less common in recent years.
