Nintendo has announced UK availability dates for three new Switch 2 bundles: the Sports Resort bundle is due on 22 October 2026, while the Mario Kart World bundle and Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition are due on 29 October. Nintendo’s UK Store displayed the Sports Resort bundle for £449.99 and the Mario Kart World bundle for £459.99 when checked on 8 October 2026. Those announced dates and catalogue prices do not confirm that a retailer has stock available to order today.
What is available to pre-order in the UK?
Nintendo UK announced the holiday bundle range on 16 September 2026. Its announcement gives availability dates, not a guarantee of current stock at every shop. Nintendo’s UK Store catalogue and a John Lewis listing provide examples of offers; neither is a complete live inventory of UK retailers.
| Bundle or listing | Announced date or delivery | Contents stated in the available listing | Price shown |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nintendo Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort | Availability announced for 22 October 2026 by Nintendo UK; John Lewis stated pre-order delivery from 22 October 2026. | Switch 2 console, full game download and a download code for a three-month Nintendo Switch Online individual membership. | £449.99 on the Nintendo UK Store catalogue, accessed 8 October 2026. |
| Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World | Availability announced for 29 October 2026 by Nintendo UK. | Switch 2 console, full game download and a download code for a three-month Nintendo Switch Online individual membership. | £459.99 on the Nintendo UK Store catalogue, accessed 8 October 2026. |
| Nintendo Switch 2 The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition | Availability announced for 29 October 2026 by Nintendo UK. | Switch 2 console featuring Triforce motifs on the back, a Switch 2 dock and Joy-Con 2 controllers. | Not stated in Nintendo UK’s announcement. |
| Switch 2 bundle with 256GB microSD Express Card | No availability date stated in the catalogue entry. | Switch 2 bundle with a 256GB microSD Express Card for Nintendo Switch 2. | £469.98 on the Nintendo UK Store catalogue, accessed 8 October 2026. |
Nintendo’s catalogue also marked its Pokémon Legends: Z-A bundle out of stock when accessed on 8 October 2026. That is a dated catalogue status, not a prediction about when it may return.

Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition
Nintendo describes this as a special-edition console with Triforce motifs on the rear, alongside a Switch 2 dock and Joy-Con 2 controllers. The announcement does not list a game or membership code as included, so do not assume the game bundles’ extras apply here.
microSD Express bundle
The Nintendo Store catalogue showed a bundle containing a 256GB microSD Express Card for Nintendo Switch 2. Confirm the exact configuration on the live listing before ordering; the catalogue entry is not a full comparison of other retailers’ bundles.

What do the prices and delivery details tell you?
The Nintendo UK Store’s displayed prices on 8 October 2026 were £449.99 for Sports Resort, £459.99 for Mario Kart World and £469.98 for the bundle with a 256GB microSD Express Card. They are examples from Nintendo’s catalogue, not a survey of all UK retailers or a promise that the price or stock will remain unchanged.
John Lewis listed the Sports Resort 256GB console for pre-order delivery from 22 October 2026. That delivery estimate applies to that retailer’s listing only; it does not establish stock or delivery dates elsewhere. Nintendo announced 22 and 29 October as availability dates for the relevant bundles, which should not be treated as proof that a specific retailer is accepting orders or can deliver on those dates.

How to check a listing before you order
- Open the retailer’s current product page and confirm the exact bundle name, including whether it is Sports Resort, Mario Kart World, the Zelda edition or an accessory bundle.
- Check the full contents: console and controllers, game download, membership code, or microSD Express Card. Do not infer inclusions from a shortened product title.
- Review the total price at checkout and the retailer’s current stock status. Prices and availability labels can change.
- Read the delivery estimate and any preorder terms on that retailer’s page. A Nintendo availability date or a different retailer’s delivery estimate does not guarantee your order’s timing.
- Save the order confirmation and recheck the product page if the retailer changes the date or availability before dispatch.
Where to check current UK stock
Nintendo UK’s store and product pages show Nintendo’s own current catalogue and availability labels. John Lewis’s Switch 2 listing is the retailer example that stated Sports Resort pre-order delivery from 22 October 2026. Check each live listing directly: the available listings do not establish a comprehensive picture of which UK retailers have each model in stock right now.
Nintendo UK’s 16 September announcement introduced the range as “this range of bundles and other offerings that are heading to stores soon.” The phrase describes the announced holiday offers, not guaranteed stock at a particular shop.
