Gamers who would prefer to pay for the console monthly can do so at Currys. The retailer is offering the Nintendo Switch 2 for £16 a month over a 36-month period.

Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World

Amazon is selling a bundle comprising the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World game.

EE is another retailer offering a monthly option for gamers. The Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart World bundle costs £22 a month over 24 months, with an upfront cost of £20.

The Switch 2 is an upgraded version of the original Switch console, with the new device having a bigger screen and new features, plus a variety of exclusive games to get lost in. The Switch 2 has a 7.9-inch LCD display with 1080p resolution, a custom Nvidia chipset, and the ability to output in 4K.

The console comes with a new Pro controller and joy-cons, plus a Game Chat camera enabling gamers to chat with their friends. Many of the above-mentioned retailers are also now selling a variety of Switch 2 games.

Games for the original Switch console can be played on the Switch 2 once they've been upgraded at a cost. This includes Super Mario Party: Jamboree, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Third-party games such as Cyberpunk: 2077 and Star Wars: Outlaws are playable on the Switch 2. This is due to its upgraded custom chipset, which will allow games to be upscaled from a lower resolution, thanks to the AI-powered DLSS.

Earlier this week ahead of the Switch 2 launch, Nintendo issued a warning to gamers. They have been advised to not remove the protective film that’s covering the console’s screen, as this is intended to make the device shatterproof.
