Nintendo UK has reduced the prices of several Nintendo Switch games, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms and 1-2-Switch.

The reduces prices for each game were likely done to make them more in-line with the prices in the US, as the original UK prices were the subject of some controversy. The newly adjusted prices come in at £44.99 for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, £34.99 for 1-2-Switch and £49.99 for Arms. Additionally, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was previously discounted in a similar manner to £49.99.

Update: These have now sold out (thanks Jason).


Original: Over on the official Nintendo UK store, pre-orders are open for the new Zelda: Breath of the Wild amiibo. The two Link versions, Zelda, Guardian, and Bokoblin are in stock. Find them all here.

Update: The official Super Bomberman R website has been updated, revealing the game’s price in other regions as well – it will cost $49.99 in the US and €49.99 in Europe.

Following Super Bomberman R’s announcement for the Switch, one thing Konami initially weren’t ready to announce was the game’s price. Today, Eurogamer reports that in a note sent out to the UK press, Konami have confirmed that Super Bomberman R will cost £50 in the United Kingdom. The game’s price in other regions has not yet been officially announced.

Update: Bumped to the top. Amazon UK has more details on Switch pre-orders, including a time added to its page:

“Please be advised that Nintendo Switch will be available to pre-order from 07:00 BST Friday, 13 January, 2017. Due to limited stock we are only able to offer one unit per customer per address. We will be fulfilling customer orders in the order in which they were placed.”


Original: Just as expected, Amazon UK will be joining various retailers with Switch pre-orders tomorrow. A notice on the site confirms this. It seems you’ll want to keep track of the Switch listing here.

As for Amazon US, there’s not much to go on, though pre-orders will probably go live on the site tomorrow. A listing for the console is up here, though naturally you can’t reserve it just yet.
