Smyths Toys Confirm Nintendo Switch 2 Midnight Launch

The much anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 launches soon on June 5th. It is set to be the biggest console launch of 2025, and it’s getting the full treatment. Smyths Toys will be opening at midnight for the launch, so eager gamers can pull all-nighters.

Here’s what you need to know.

Nintendo Switch 2 Midnight Launch in Ireland

All Smyths Toys stores nationwide will open at 12am on June 5th. That means on Wednesday night, you have to get yourself to a Smyths Toys store for midnight opening. The “midnight” thing has caught people out before, so pay attention.

Pre-order remains open today, where you can secure your launch Switch 2 for €509.99, a bundle which includes Mario Kart World.

When ordering, you can choose home delivery or “Click & Collect”. If you are planning to pick up at a midnight launch, you should choose “Click & Collect” and choose the store you want to pick up from.

Stores will remain open until 12:30am. You will need to bring some form of photo ID to prove you have a console to collect.

Should You Pre-order the Switch 2?

I’d be reluctant to attend a midnight launch with high hopes of getting a Switch 2 unless I had pre-ordered. But with that said, Smyths Toys has said that there are limited quantities of the Switch 2 available for purchase on the night.

In an attempt to combat scalpers buying and selling consoles at higher prices, Nintendo has produced a massive number of units of the Switch 2. The market should be more or less flooded from legitimate places to purchase it.

Again, to reiterate though, if you really want one at launch, I recommend pre-ordering.

Other than that, from everyone here at Goosed, we wish you a happy Nintendo Switch 2 launch!
