Nintendo Switch 2 restocks

It’s been more than a month since Nintendo Switch 2 hit store shelves, but the hybrid console remains frustratingly tricky to track down. Switch 2 restocks have been limited, and when a retailer does have increased availability, the console typically sells out in minutes.

The good news is that retailers are working behind the scenes to replenish inventory, and we’ve seen several restocks from the likes of Walmart, Target and Best Buy. While some of these have been in-store, we’ve also seen several online drops over the past few weeks.

Conversely, for Nintendo fans in the U.K., getting hold of a Switch 2 has been comparatively easy. Nintendo Switch 2 restocks in the region have been more frequent and have often lasted days rather than minutes or hours. If you’re in the U.K. and want a Switch 2, you likely won’t have to wait very long to get the chance to secure Nintendo’s new hybrid console.

As a reminder, Nintendo Switch 2 launched on June 5, and costs $449 / £395 standalone or $499 / £429 bundled with Mario Kart World. Unscrupulous scalpers are hoping impatient players will opt to spend more than the standard retail price, but don’t give in and cough up more than is fair on a reseller marketplace. Switch 2 restocks are just around the corner.

I’ve been tracking Switch 2 restocks since launch, and have more than five years of experience covering restock for in-demand gaming products. In this live blog, I’m bringing you the latest Switch 2 restock updates, and also providing all the retailer links you’ll need.

Nintendo Switch 2 restocks: Full retailer listings

Nintendo Switch 2: $449 at Best Buy

Best Buy last restocked the Switch 2 online on June 11. The electronics retailer has been another regular source of Switch 2 stock, and also held an in-store restock this week on Tuesday, July 1.
Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Best Buy

Nintendo Switch 2: $449 at Target

Target last restocked the Switch 2 on Friday, June 6. This could mean the next drop is a little ways off as the retailer may need some time to build up its inventory again.
Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Target

Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart Bundle: $498.50 at Amazon

After being absent from the Switch 2 pre-order phase, Amazon U.S. launched a Nintendo Switch 2 listing page last week. But in a very strange move, it's now taken it down again, so at present there are no signs of Switch 2 stock at Amazon U.S. Over in the U.K., the mega retailer has been stocking Switch 2 for weeks and restocked often.

Nintendo Switch 2: $449 at nintendo.com

My Nintendo Store is using an invite system to allocate its available Switch 2 stock. You will need to meet specific criteria, including having a Nintendo Switch Online account and then be selected and sent an invite to order the console.
Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Nintendo Store

Nintendo Switch 2: $449 at antonline

Antonline's Switch 2 listings have a "coming soon" message. This could be a sign that the tech retailer is planning to restock the console in the near future, though that message has been there quite a while now, so it's a little puzzling.
Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Antonline

Nintendo Switch 2: $449 at Newegg

Newegg's Nintendo Switch 2 pages are live, but there's currently no stock. Newegg may restock the console soon, but nothing is confirmed yet, so this is another one to watch closely for now.
Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Newegg

Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart Bundle: $499 at Sam's Club US

Sam's Club has a listing page for the Nintendo Switch 2, which currently advises the console is "coming soon." This could be an indication that the retailer is planning to take Switch 2 orders in the near future, so be sure to watch this space.

Nintendo Switch 2 accessories

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller: $84 at Walmart

The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller is practically guaranteed to be the most in-demand Switch 2 accessory, and it packs a suitable upgrade over its predecessor adding a headphone jack, the new "C" button, and customizable back buttons.

Hori Piranha Plant Camera for Switch 2: $59 at Walmart

The official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera is pretty dull, but this licensed third-party one from Hori is anything but. It's modeled after the iconic Piranha Planet from the Super Mario series and offers all the same features, plus you can close the Piranha's head to give yourself some privacy as needed. Huge caveat: it's resolution maxes out at 480p, whereas the Nintendo camera is 1080p.

Mario Kart World: $79 at Amazon

Mario Kart World will launch on the same day as the Switch 2. This new entry will allow up to 24 drivers to take part in each race, and you'll be able to drive anywhere on the track. Nintendo also said gamers can expect new power-ups.

Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition: $69 at Amazon

Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 is the definitive way to enjoy CDPR's critically acclaimed first-person open-world RPG on the go.

This Ultimate Edition also includes the essential Phantom Liberty DLC expansion, which opens up a new area of the map, the ruthless Dogtown.

Donkey Kong Bananza: $69 at Amazon

Donkey Kong Bananza will launch on July 17 and allow DK to smash his way through (and down into) the surrounding terrain. He can punch his way through mountains or head underground in search of collectibles. It's hands-down one of the Switch 2's biggest titles.

Street Fighter 6: $59 at Amazon

The original Switch's definitive launch game has returned for the Switch 2, and now it's been enhanced for Nintendo's new hardware.
