NINTENDO The Nintendo Switch Stock update affects Tesco, Amazon and Gamestop

UPDATE ONE: Argos can now be added to the list of store that have new Nintendo Switch stock. Over a 100 stores are said to have received a new shipment this weekend, meaning it might be worth heading over to their site to see which local store have units nearest to you. There is a slight difference in what is available, there are currently more outlets selling the grey Nintendo Switch model, than the Neon Red and Blue. while the Argos site lists the Nintendo Switch as being out of stock for delivery, fans interested in grabbing a console today can still order online and then pick up a console from the brick-and-mortar location. John Lewis also recently saw a restock, however, that appears to have sold out earlier today. Fans can still log onto Amazon and pre order a Nintendo Switch, by doing this it will mean reserving a console for delivery on, or around, April 14. Gamers can also pre order at other sites, including GAME and Smyths.
