The Nintendo Switch 2 has been released worldwide, with stores opening at midnight so fans could get their hands on the long-awaited console the moment it became available.
Some shops have the devices available to buy off the shelf - but in most cases customers have been picking up consoles they had ordered in advance, with UK retailer Currys calling it its "biggest gaming pre-order ever."
Despite the excitement there have been some setbacks, with one supplier, Game, cancelling some pre-orders.
In the US, Nintendo briefly pulled Switch 2 pre-orders in April over concerns around tariffs before starting again a few weeks later.
But that doesn't appear to have put fans off- with queues forming at stores around the world as gamers vied to be among the first to unbox their new console.
