Pokemon Legends Z-A pre-orders have been steadily in stock in both the US and UK since they went live, but I'm more interested in those elusive bonus gifts.

The best Switch games always have great pre-order bonuses, and the upcoming Pokemon game is no different. Retailers like Nintendo have an adorable figurine of the game's starters available with its pre-orders, while US retailers have everything from exclusive pins to a 'gamer mat' featuring a map of Lumiose City - it's what convinced me to pre-order as soon as I could.

  • US: Pre-order Pokemon Legends Z-A + Gamer Mat | $69.99 at Best Buy
  • UK: Pre-order Pokemon Legends Z-A + Figurine | £58.99 at Nintendo

Pokemon Legends Z-A will launch on October 16, so there's still time to pick your favorite pre-order bonus and shop accordingly, whether you're after an original Switch or Switch 2 copy.

Don't forget, Pokemon Legends Z-A Switch 2 bundle pre-orders are also still in stock if you haven't yet made the next-generational Switch 2 leap, and come with a digital copy of the game that's redeemable via the eShop online store.

Hardware Editor

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
