The Nintendo Switch 2 is now out in the wild, though it's still incredibly difficult to actually get your hands on one. Ninty promised there would be enough to go around, and has more recently stated that demand will be met quickly this year. You can tell that to the 'out of stock' signs I keep seeing on retailer sites, though.
A flurry of launch day stock had us all hopeful last week, but it looks like things have died down again now. It's not all bad news. You can buy Nintendo Switch 2 stock if you know where to look, but there are some caveats.
In the US, Antonline is selling bundles but they include a considerable amount of extra games and accessories so that final price is over $600 (though you're still paying MSRP for everything included). Meanwhile, EE Mobile Monthly members in the UK can add a console to their contract price as well.
I've been tracking Nintendo Switch 2 stock since pre-orders were first announced, and I've been covering high-profile releases for five years before that. From tracking PS5s and Xbox Series Xs to more recent limited edition hardware reveals, I've learned how these retailers work, when to expect more stock, and how to make the most of new drops when they land.

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.

Costco members might be in luck
Costco has a Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle on the shelves with 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack going as well. This is a members-only deal, though, with delivery estimated for June 12.

Antonline's bundles are now "coming soon"
Antonline has been releasing its stock in waves over the last week, and those bundles are currently paused on the retailer's website. I wouldn't worry if you've been eyeing up some extra games and accessories, I expect these packages will return soon enough.
Where to buy Nintendo Switch 2 memory cards
The Nintendo Switch 2 only takes a certain type of memory card, and with game install sizes on the up it's well worth grabbing one when you pick up your console. The 256GB Samsung MicroSD Express is your go-to right now. It's a little pricier than the cards previously compatible with Nintendo's system, but it does offer increased speeds and is the only compatible model.
US: $59 at Walmart
UK: £49.99 at Argos
Smyths Toys expects more Nintendo Switch 2 stock from June 10 - June 16
UK shoppers should mark their calendars for June 10. Smyths Toys has updated its site to let customers know it's expecting another wave of inventory from tomorrow, and that stock could last until June 16.
That means more units are rolling out to retailers fairly quickly (it will have taken five days for Smyths to receive a new allocation if this restock turns out to be true).
Things might be quiet in the US for a little while
Both Walmart and Target hosted their own online Nintendo Switch 2 restocks late last week, running out of stock at around midnight on Friday night. With Best Buy and GameStop keeping their units in-store only, that could mean things might be quiet for a little while here.
Friday's restocks were an extra wave on top of the launch day allocation each retailer received. The timing of the next drop will be crucial in working out how long it takes for each store to refresh that warehouse.
UK stock is limited to EE Monthly Mobile customers, but there's a catch
EE does have the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock in the UK, but this allocation is reserved for the brand's existing mobile customers. The 24-month bundle is added to your existing contract, coming in at £22 per month. Be wary, though, the final cost of that Switch 2 sits at £548 (including the £20 fee paid today) - a considerable increase on the £429.99 RRP.
Newegg has stock, but I'd steer clear
Newegg has finally filled in its Nintendo Switch 2 listing pages, but this stock is well overpriced. The standalone console is up for a whopping $849, sold by a third party marketplace. That's pretty bad form, especially considering we're expecting more stock to roll onto the shelves in the next few weeks.
Needless to say, please don't take Newegg up on this offer.
Antonline is back online!
Antonline's bundles are back in business today, though the cheapest package offer sits at $609.95. That does net you three Zelda Amiibo and a copy of Breath of the Wild NS2 Edition, and everything is sitting at its regular MSRP here. You're not paying inflated prices, but you are buying more stuff with your Switch 2 to have at this inventory.
