The Nintendo Switch 2 has hit the shelves in the U.S., and it’s officially available for purchase! Launched at midnight on June 5 for $450, this eagerly anticipated console has already caused quite a frenzy, with online stocks vanishing in a blink. But don’t worry; if you missed out, we’ve got the scoop on where to snag one!

Where to Buy the Nintendo Switch 2

Walmart kicked things off with online sales at midnight, but the console—along with the enticing Mario Kart World bundle—is already sold out. If you prefer in-store shopping, some Walmart locations may still have units, so it’s worth a visit.

GameStop also hosted launch events, and despite website shortages, reports from the floor say some stores, like one in New York City, still have inventory available. However, expect stocks to vary dramatically by location.

Target joined the launch party on June 5, but it too has warned customers about limited supplies. Check in at your nearby stores for a chance to snag one, and don’t forget: they’re restocking online early Friday morning.

Best Buy held midnight launch events but isn't offering the Switch 2 online this week. Some stores had limited in-person stock available starting June 5.

If you’re a member of Costco or Sam's Club, you might have better luck. Both retailers have had varying inventory of the Switch 2 bundles. But remember, a membership is required to get in on those deals!

As for Verizon, they briefly listed the console for their service subscribers earlier on Thursday, but that stock has since dried up.

Curiously, Amazon hasn’t listed the Switch 2 yet, leaving gamers puzzled about when—or if—they will sell the hot new console. Newegg is also lagging, keeping the Switch in pre-sale limbo.

Switch 2 & Mario Kart World Bundle Availability

For those eager for the Mario Kart World bundle, expect greater online availability—just a few dollars more than the base console! It retails for $80 on its own and is the most anticipated launch game, making the bundle an attractive option.

Where to Buy Switch 2 Games and Accessories

In addition to the console, a slew of new first-party accessories and games became available on June 5. Major titles like Mario Kart World and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are ready to grab, though the much-anticipated Donkey Kong Bananza will be dropping later in mid-July.

You can pre-order other upcoming games now to ensure you’re first in line when they launch.

Current Stock for Accessories and Games

Here’s a quick rundown of available titles and accessories: - **Mario Kart World** ($80): Available at Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy, Target, and Amazon. - **Donkey Kong Bananza** ($70): Look for it at Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy, Target, and Amazon. - **Switch 2 games and accessories**: Most are widely stocked, but notable accessory items, like the Joy-Con 2 bundle and Switch 2 Pro Controller, require invitations to purchase.

Don’t forget, prices range across different retailers, with unique offerings at each. Be on the lookout as stocks may pop back up anytime!
