The Nintendo Switch 2 Has Arrived!

The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally available for purchase in the U.S.! Priced at $450, the console began selling at midnight ET on June 5, with many retailers opening their doors for eager gamers.

Stock Status: Grab It While You Can!

Online stock has quickly sold out at most retailers, with physical stores likely your best bet for finding one. However, don't expect an easy catch—availability varies widely by location!

Retailer Roundup: Where to Buy Now

Walmart kicked things off with online sales but has since run out of stock for both the standalone console and the popular Mario Kart World bundle.

GameStop hosted special launch events, and while some customers have reported successfully snagging a console without pre-ordering, availability is inconsistent. Currently, their website shows the Switch 2 as sold out.

Target is still selling the console in limited quantities in-store. They've hinted at an online restock on June 6, which could be your best shot at securing one without heading out.

Best Buy also hosted midnight launch events but is currently offering in-store sales only.

For those with memberships, Costco and Sam's Club provide options, though stock levels have shifted rapidly.

The Online Situation: Amazon & Others

Amazon hasn't listed the Switch 2 yet, raising questions about their inventory plans. Newegg has had the console on their site for weeks but hasn't started sales.

Bundled Deals & Pricing!

Interestingly, the Mario Kart World bundle has been more readily available online than the console itself, making it a popular pick despite the higher price.

Nintendo's Special Invite System

And let’s not forget Nintendo's direct sales, where the Switch 2 is available only through a special invite system for long-time Switch Online members. If you qualify, joining the invite list may pay off—eventually.

Game and Accessory Availability!

In exciting news, several games and accessories launched alongside the console. Most titles, like Mario Kart World, are widely available, while accessory stock can be hit or miss.

Highlights include: - Mario Kart World ($80) - Donkey Kong Bananza (pre-order for $70, available mid-July) - Samsung microSD Express Card (256GB) for $60.

Time to Act Fast!

As stock shifts by the hour, keep your eyes peeled on these retailers to secure your very own Nintendo Switch 2 and prepare for gaming glory!
