Nintendo Switch 2 stock is creaking back to life in the US, with a new drop confirmed at Best Buy for this week. That comes just a few days after Walmart's latest restock, hopefully signalling that handheld availability woes are starting to ease. Don't get me wrong, it's still incredibly difficult to know where to buy Nintendo Switch 2. That's why I'm tracking all the latest drops right here.
I've been watching these handhelds jump on and off the shelves since those early pre-order days, and have been tracking high profile releases since the days of the PS5 and Xbox Series X. That means I know which retailers to check and when, and how to make sure you make the most of every drop.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is now officially one of the best gaming handhelds we've tested so far, so it makes sense that the device is in hot demand. While the UK is enjoying a fairly regular roster of restocks, the US is looking a little tougher right now.

I started tracking high-demand pre-orders back when the PS5 and Xbox Series X first launched and have covered everything from the PS Portal to 30th Anniversary limited edition runs since then. I know which retailers to watch for new stock drops, when those restocks are likely to happen, and how to make sure you finish up with a console in your hands on day one.

Argos has a few extra savings lined up for when stock lands
Keep an eye on Argos if you're looking to package up additional accessories with your console. The store is offering a range of extra bonus discounts with its Mario Kart World bundle, including 30% off a Joy-Con charging station or travel case and a Turtle Beach headset for just £10.
Very is still holding out
Very has been running its latest roster of Nintendo Switch 2 bundles all weekend, and they don't show any signs of slowing now. While you'll have to grab an extra game or accessory at the same time (there's no standalone stock of the handheld or the Mario Kart World bundle) things are still looking rock solid right now.
Watch out for inflated prices
Some retailers allow third party sellers on their sites via a marketplace system, and this is where you'll likely find inflated Nintendo Switch 2 prices. Right now, both Walmart and Newegg have fallen to these scams. The handheld is listed well above its $449.99 MSRP, sometimes reaching into the $800s.
Needless to say, it's not worth paying over asking price. Switch 2 restocks are starting to pick up the pace in the US, and more will be along shortly.
Will Best Buy return to online restocks?
Best Buy will offer more Nintendo Switch 2 restocks tomorrow, but this one's an in-person affair. That's a stark contrast to the store's previous drop, which went completely online. I'd expect more virtual queues to form before long, though. The retailer could well be swapping between the two every week until stock evens out.
Ebuyer still has the standalone Nintendo Switch 2 - but watch out
If you don't want a Mario Kart World bundle, Ebuyer could be another option. It's currently got the £395.98 handheld on the shelves and ready to order. The only problem? This one won't be sent out until Wednesday July 30. Don't be fooled by that 'free next day delivery' sign - that's going from the date Ebuyer expects to receive the device in the first place. For now, Nintendo's the better option.

Amazon is making some moves
Amazon drops Nintendo Switch 2 stock very quickly but at a high frequency. That means it'll run a good number of drops throughout the day, but they won't last long each. It's exactly what I've been seeing today - the bundle is on the shelves for a few minutes and then gone the next. You'll need to be fast to jump in here, but it's worth checking back in.
Nintendo is also in action
If you don't want to go down the bundle route, you'll want to head to the My Nintendo Store instead. There, you'll find the standalone console by itself available for £395.99 and the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle for £429.99.
Very has bundles on the shelves
Very has a number of Nintendo Switch 2 bundles live on the shelves right now, ranging from included games to mega-packs of accessories. The console isn't available just by itself, but the cheapest package I'm seeing right now comes out to £479 - that's for a Mario Kart World bundle with either a 256GB memory card or a copy of Street Fighter 6. These consoles are due to be shipped in time for delivery on Friday if you order today.
Check a Best Buy near you for tomorrow's restock
Best Buy has announced that its next Nintendo Switch 2 restock will take place in-store only and on July 1. That means you'll want to find your nearest retailers and do the rounds tomorrow morning. Things have been slow here since launch, so it's worth getting there nice and early if you've been holding out for a new console. All stores are operating on normal opening hours, though.
Here we go!
It's the start of another week of stock hunting and things are already looking good. Following on from last week's Walmart drop, Best Buy has confirmed its own restock set for July 1. Meanwhile, both Very and Nintendo have stock available to buy in the UK right now.
