Title: Nintendo Switch 2: Availability and Pricing Trends

Nintendo Switch 2 consoles are now available for purchase online at major retailers, including Walmart and Best Buy, with bundles such as Mario Kart World and Pokémon Legends: Z-A. The Switch 2 is the fastest-selling game hardware in the U.S. after one month, and online availability is smooth, unlike previous console launches. Prices range from $499 to $500, depending on the bundle.

According to recent reports, the Nintendo Switch 2 is experiencing a significant increase in stock availability. Retailers like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, GameStop, and Amazon have all restocked the console over the past month, and we’re expecting to see new opportunities to buy the console this week [1]. The most recent restock came from Target, and while the retailer is once again out of stock, this drop lasted much longer than usual, taking several hours to sell out rather than minutes. Meanwhile, over in the U.K., we’ve seen an abundance of Switch 2 restocks, with the console regularly available across major retailers [1].

The Switch 2 launched on June 5 and costs $449 / £395 standalone and $499 / £429 bundled with Mario Kart World [1]. As you’d expect, we’ve seen plenty of unscrupulous scalpers try and resell Switch 2s at an inflated markup, but don’t be tempted to overpay. Stick with this live blog and we’ll help you secure Nintendo’s latest hardware at its regular price [1].

While the U.S. supply is increasing, it still remains significantly easier to score a Switch 2 in the U.K. If you have vacation time coming up, I hear London is nice this time of year [1]. Nintendo Switch 2 restocks are becoming more frequent and lasting longer before the console returns to its default state of being sold out. Retailers like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, GameStop, and Amazon have all restocked over the past month, and we’re expecting to see new opportunities to buy the console this week [1].
