Nintendo's restock updates at Finest Purchase, Walmart and others

Replace (7/14/25): Best Buy will reportedly restock Swap 2 consoles subsequent on July 17, which coincides with the discharge of Donkey Kong Bananza.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is lastly out there within the US, nevertheless it’s nonetheless fairly powerful to search out it in inventory on-line wherever. The $450 console formally went up on the market on June 5, and a number of other retailers have supplied it each on-line and in-store within the week since. Whereas millions of people have been in a position to purchase theirs to date, on-line stock has dried up significantly since launch day. There have been restocks at Walmart, Target and Best Buy, however they did not final lengthy, which was to be anticipated. You might also be capable of seize a bundle at Costco in the event you’re a member there, however you may need a greater time doing so in retailer than on-line.

And that could be the best way to go at this level, broadly talking. You could have higher luck venturing right into a bodily retailer and strolling out with a Swap 2 than you’ll shopping for one on-line. You probably have a neighborhood Goal, Finest Purchase, Walmart or GameStop — the 4 official retailers Nintendo lists on its retailer web page — it could’t harm to cease by and see if they’ve any in inventory. A number of retailers, GameStop being one in all them, are even directing on-line clients to “discover a retailer” close to them that has the console in inventory. For those who’re nonetheless on the hunt, we’ve rounded up the entire newest info we might discover on the best way to purchase the Nintendo Swap 2 and the place you may decide one up.

The place to purchase the Nintendo Swap 2

Walmart most lately supplied the Swap 2 on-line on June 25, with Walmart+ members getting an hour’s head begin. At present, each the Mario Kart World bundle and the standalone console can be found, however each are both out of inventory or being bought at a lot larger costs than regular (doubtless by third-party sellers). We don’t advocate shopping for the Swap 2 at a premium like this, however moderately it is higher to attend for an official restock. Naturally, the world’s largest retailer can also be promoting the console at its brick-and-mortar areas, although the corporate has noted that portions are restricted and stock will differ by location.

Amazon lastly has the Swap 2 listed now: the Switch 2 console is up for $450 whereas the Mario Kart World bundle prices $500. This comes after weeks of the console being conspicuously absent from the retail large’s web site. A June 30 Bloomberg report confirmed what had been broadly rumored for weeks: Nintendo was apparently punishing Amazon for persevering with to floor third-party retailers promoting trans-shipped video games. That punishment seems to be over now, however observe that each the console by itself and the bundle can be found “by invitation” solely from Amazon, which simply means it’s a must to register your curiosity with Amazon earlier than you get an official invite that may let you purchase the Swap 2.

Best Buy will reportedly restock Swap 2 consoles subsequent on July 17, the launch day of the sport Donkey Kong Bananza. Very like earlier restocks, we anticipate you will need to be fast about it if you wish to seize the console when new inventory turns into out there that day.

Target had the Swap 2 in shops on June 5 and restocked its on-line stock for no less than a few hours beginning round 3:30AM ET on June 6. It then had one other restock on June 12 round 2:30PM ET, however that seems to have died out in lower than an hour. We additionally famous it displaying up in inventory in no less than one Philadelphia location on June 24.

GameStop has marketed in-store availability, although precisely how a lot inventory your native retailer could have will differ by location. On-line, the system has been unavailable for the previous week, with the listings for the bottom console and Mario Kart bundle now pointing to a “Find a Store” web page.

You should still have some luck at sure membership-based retailers. A Mario Kart World bundle at Costco that features a 12-month Swap On-line subscription has gone out and in of inventory since launch day. Sam’s Club has had a bundle with out the Swap On-line sub as nicely, although it is out of inventory now. We additionally noticed the console at BJ’s early on June 5, nevertheless it’s displaying up as out of inventory now.

Verizon briefly had the Swap 2 out there on launch day, however that is dried up. Solely these with Verizon service have been in a position to order, and the method was apparently somewhat rocky.

Newegg has listed the Swap 2 on its web site for a number of weeks, nevertheless it’s given no indication as to when it’s going to start gross sales. Whereas some listings can be found by way of a third-party vendor, they’re at massively inflated costs.

With all of those shops, we have seen the Mario Kart World bundle out there in larger portions on-line than the bottom console, which prices $50 much less. However on condition that Mario Kart is the Switch 2’s biggest launch game and retails for $80 by itself, that is probably not the worst factor.

Nintendo, in the meantime, is simply providing the Swap 2 by way of an invite system. This requires you to have been a Swap On-line member for no less than 12 months and logged no less than 50 hours of Swap 1 playtime as of April 2. It will probably’t harm to enroll in the event you meet the factors, however do not anticipate it to bear fruit instantly — it is taken weeks for many individuals who registered in April to obtain their invite.

You could find an inventory of each Swap 2 retail itemizing we might discover beneath. Simply bear in mind that that is meant to be a reference, not a rundown of in all places the system is on the market proper this second.
