Nintendo Switch 2 release sparks massive scramble as London stores open at midnight to meet demand
Briefly

The release of the Nintendo Switch 2 has generated significant excitement among gaming fans, with long queues forming outside stores across London. Midnight openings saw eager customers picking up pre-ordered units, while some opted to buy over the counter. Despite the joy surrounding the launch, the high price of the console has deterred some from upgrading. The Switch 2 boasts improvements, such as a larger screen, enhanced graphics, and larger controllers, positioning it as a worthy successor to its predecessor, which sold around 150 million units since 2017.
Fans were pictured waiting outside Currys last night with the supplier calling it its "biggest gaming pre-order ever selling 30,000 units already, according to the BBC."
Securing a pre-order was such a tough decision because it's so expensive. Even if it's a bit higher than I would have wanted to pay for it, it's going to serve me well for the next 7 or 8 years.
But the newly-improved console offers a larger screen and improved graphics, as well as larger controllers and new features.
Mae and Lottie, both students in York, said they would stick to the original, but noted their disappointment at not being able to play the new Mario Kart.
