Nintendo Switch 2 restocks in the US are being slightly overshadowed by Prime Day this week. That that, plenty of players are still looking to buy Ninty's new handheld during the sale, and if you've been struggling to pick up the portable, I've got you covered with frequent updates and retailer advice.
As for where to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 in the US, you'll actually want to hit up Amazon first and register your interest. There's currently a "request invite" button on the listing, meaning there's a bit of a formal rigmarole in place. The tactic is likely to curb resellers trying to inflate the console's price for a quick buck, but Nintendo stock has been weirdly AWOL at the store even during the initial launch.
My hope is that Switch 2 stock will pop back up at Target, Walmart, GameStop, and Best Buy in the US, as that'll help the whole situation normalize. On the flip side, it's incredibly easy to buy the Switch 2 in the UK since most of your go-to retailers have a steady supply, and I'll be keeping you up to date with any and all drops.

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.
Today's best Amazon Prime Day Nintendo Switch 2 deals
Will the Nintendo Switch 2 be back in stock on Prime Day?
Amazon hasn't had the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock at all so far, in a strange move that many are putting down to a falling out between the two brands. However, there are a number of retailers who have been active in the restock scene over the last few weeks - and these are the very same stores looking to compete with Amazon this week.
Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop have all offered more Nintendo Switch 2 stock since release and, while things are slower in the US than they are in the UK, handhelds are hitting the shelves. These retailers will also be keen to get as many eyes on their own sites this week in particular. They're all running their own week-long sales events to compete with Amazon Prime Day after all.
I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more Nintendo Switch 2 stock available at the likes of Best Buy and Walmart over the next few days.
Will there be any Nintendo Switch 2 deals on Prime Day?
It would be almost impossible for the Nintendo Switch 2 itself to be discounted on Amazon Prime Day. First up it's not even in stock at a number of US stores, and second Nintendo hardware takes ages to drop its price. The Switch OLED has only just started seeing regular discounts over the last couple of years, for example.
While the handheld itself is incredibly unlikely to see a Prime Day deal, I'm already seeing discounts on its third party accessories and OG Switch games.
Live updates
Here we go!
The Nintendo Switch 2 has been out for just over a month now, but it's still difficult to find stock online. The US has struggled to keep the handheld on the shelves since the pre-order phase, though the UK is having a much better time of it, but things could shift this week.
As retailers look to compete with Amazon Prime Day, we could well see more Nintendo Switch 2 stock landing over the next few days. I'll be your eyes and ears for all major drops and restocks, as well as the biggest Prime Day Switch 2 deals for those lucky console owners.
PSA: Watch out for inflated prices
Walmart is currently offering a Nintendo Switch 2 for a massive $714. That's because this retailer allows third party marketplace sellers on its site, and these guys are free to mark up their consoles as much as they like unfortunately. It goes without saying, but the Switch 2 is not a $700+ console and you shouldn't pay more than MSRP at all.
This is a $449.99 device ($499.99 if you grab a copy of Mario Kart World at the same time) and stock will return.
Switch 2 stock remains quiet in the US
It's dead out there in the US, though the UK is seeing an abundance of Nintendo Switch 2 restocks ahead of Prime Day. With no new rumors of any drops coming soon, it's worth looking to who dropped their stock most recently.
That was Walmart with a fresh wave of stock landing on June 25, which means I'm looking to Best Buy and Target for the next drops. Both of these retailers have had more than three weeks to replenish their online supplies and could well have been holding for this week's sale event.
This might be the best early Prime Day Switch 2 deal out there right now
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | $69.99 $47.99 at Woot
Woot has Tears of the Kingdom down to $47.99 at Woot. I know, I know - this is the OG Switch version, not the upgraded-for-4K Switch 2 copy. That game goes for $79.99 by itself - but, crucially, there's a $10 upgrade available for those who already own the game.
That means you can pick up this discounted copy, upgrade it with a $9.99 booster at Amazon, and enjoy the full Switch 2 experience for a chunk of change less ($22 less to be exact).
Here's why I think we could see more Nintendo Switch 2 restocks this week
I'm more optimistic for Switch 2 stock this week than I have been in a little while. Both Best Buy and Target have been without online restocks for over three weeks now and, while the former has been prioritizing in-person availability, that could mean they're holding out on us.
In a week when stores like this are desperately competing with Amazon, a nice healthy drop of the hottest gadget on the market would go down especially well.
These retailers want as many eyes on their own sales as possible, and there's no better way to do that than by dangling that Switch 2-shaped carrot.
Things are looking good in the UK
The Nintendo Switch 2 is in stock at multiple retailers in the UK right now, but if I had to choose one I'd go with Nintendo.
Very is a close second, also offering both the standalone console and Mario Kart World bundle without any pesky accessories to drive up the final price, but Nintendo will ship your handheld just that little bit quicker. Free Express Delivery only takes 1-2 days when you opt for Ninty, but Very will keep you waiting until July 18.
One of the best headsets for Nintendo Switch 2 just hit a record-low price
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 is our go-to pick for a budget Nintendo Switch 2 headset, and it's just returned to its lowest price yet at Amazon. You'll find the cups down to $39.99 from $59.99 for Prime Day, a $20 discount in total.
I've only ever seen this saving once before this year, and that was a few months ago. Considering this is one of the best Nintendo Switch headsets available, this is a must-see early deal.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 | $59.99 $39.99 at Amazon
PSA: That EE stock will cost you more in the long run
EE's Nintendo Switch 2 stock is reserved for its monthly mobile users, which means you can only pick one up if you add it to your existing contract for £22 a month. That's a 24 month contract, which means you're paying £528 for that Mario Kart World bundle overall.
That's not great when you can easily pick up the same bundle for £429.99 elsewhere.
Rosalie's found a bunch of Switch 2 accessories for under $25 already this Prime Day
Official Nintendo Switch 2 accessories may be particularly expensive this generation, but third party gadgets are looking cheaper than ever right now. Rosalie's found some top cases, screen protectors, chargers, and grips for the Switch 2 and none of them cost more than $25.
If you're lucky enough to already have a handheld in your arsenal, this is where you need to be looking this Prime Day.
JSAUX 65W USB-C Charger for Nintendo Switch 2 | $25.99 $17.99 at Amazon
4Gamers Travel Kit Compatible with Switch 2 | $24.99 at Amazon
JSAUX Game Card Case for Nintendo Switch 2 | $19.99 $17.99 at Amazon
Orzly Glass Screen Protector for Nintendo Switch 2 | $19.99 $9.99 at Amazon
Walmart could have Nintendo Switch 2 stock at 7pm ET
Reports that Walmart will be offering Nintendo Switch 2 stock at 7pm ET tonight are beginning to circulate, but we haven't seen any official confirmation from the site itself yet. It would make sense, with Amazon's own Prime Day deals waiting in the wings - but nothing's concrete until the site's page says it.
If these rumors are to be believed, the first round of stock will be restricted to Walmart Plus members (though you may need a full paid subscription rather than the free trial).
How to prep for Walmart's Nintendo Switch 2 restock (if it appears)
Walmart's Nintendo Switch 2 restock isn't exactly confirmed for tonight, but it's looking like we might see some action at 7pm ET.
That means it's time to get prepped.
The first thing you'll want to do is get yourself signed into your Walmart Plus account (or sign up to the full paid membership if you haven't already). Make sure you stay signed in and that all your payment and shipping information is saved.
This will give you the best chance at sailing through checkout as soon as possible. Time is the enemy here - spend too long getting all your details sorted and someone will be further along the process than you. That handheld isn't yours until you receive an email confirmation, after all.
Trust me, your Switch 2 screen will scratch, so save on a screen protector!
Like it or not, your shiny new Switch 2 isn't going to remain scratch-free for long without protection. As someone who really doesn't like covering my displays, the display's inherent softness really gets on my nerves, but Jsaux's set of tempered glass screen protectors has helped ease the pain. They don't obscure fidelity or brightness, are extremely easy to apply without bubbles, and Amazon just knocked 35% off the set for Prime Day.
Jsaux 3-Pack Screen Protector for Nintendo Switch 2
The Switch 2 case I've been using from day one is now under $20
Jsaux is really coming up trumps so far for Switch 2 deals, as I just stumbled across the exact case I use for under $20. The two-tone orange and blue cover in question offers full zip-up protection complete with a flap for 10 game cards, but my favorite thing about it is how slimline it is. If you're looking for something that isn't remotely bulky and doesn't break the bank, this is it.
Jsaux Switch 2 Slim Carrying Case | $21.99 $17.59 at Amazon
Switch 2 stock is MIA following last night's Walmart drop
Sorry US Switch 2 seekers, the handheld is pretty much missing from shelves again today. While the UK is looking pretty healthy in the UK, we're not at the stage where its freely available at Best Buy, Walmart, or any other US-based stores. I'll keep you posted when more drops land, but until then, all we can do is keep an eye the situation.
Our go-to Switch 2 earbuds are down to a new record low
Our resident Switch accessories caretaker Rosalie swears by the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds for Switch 2, and you can now grab them for under $150 at Best Buy, Yes, that's price for an in-ear headset, but Best Buy's counter-Prime Day deal is worthwhile if you want to tier portable audio for your new handheld. Plus, they'll usually set you back $200, so I appreciate this $52 discount.
SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds | $199.99 $147.99 at Best Buy
Amazon has the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock
Amazon is chasing up its Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals with some juicy stock of the new handheld. You'll find it on the shelves and ready to buy right now, though you'll be waiting until Wednesday August 20 for this one. Nintendo and Very are both offering speedier shipping.
Nintendo Switch 2 | £429.99 at Amazon
Walmart's latest Nintendo Switch 2 restock lasted much longer than expected
Walmart's latest Switch 2 restock dropped last night, and it managed to hold out for a good few hours. That's certainly promising - these handhelds have been swept off the shelves much quicker in previous drops. If other retailers like Best Buy and Target choose to follow suit we could well see stock lasting much longer this week.
Newegg is technically listing the Nintendo Switch 2 - but please don't buy it
But it's over $700.
The retailer has taken its inflated prices to another level this morning. I've just noticed you actually need to add the handheld to your cart to see the final cost. It's not my favorite business practice at the best of times, but it's even shadier when you consider this is a third party marketplace seller with a massively boosted price tag.
Woot just dropped two new Nintendo Switch game deals
Pokemon Violet | $59.99 $44.99 at Woot
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe | $59.99 $39.99 at Woot
Pokemon Violet and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe just dropped their prices at Woot for Prime Day, with record-low prices up for grabs.
Nintendo Switch 2 owners will definitely be more interested in the former. Both Violet and Scarlet received major patches with the release of the new console and run infinitely better these days. I'd even go so far as to say they're actually playable now.
Amazon has discounted MicoSD Express cards
UK Switch 2 owners will be very pleased with this minor discount on MicroSD Express cards this Prime Day. Both the 256GB and 128GB SanDisk versions are a few squids off their RRP. It's only a small saving, but it's still impressive considering the popularity of these storage cards. Just be wary of those extending delivery times.
256GB: £49.99 £45.49 at Amazon
128GB: £41.99 £39.98 at Amazon
This TomToc Nintendo Switch 2 case just took an extra price drop
TomToc Slim | $47.99 $29.59 at Amazon
This slimline case was in the $30s yesterday, but it's just dipped below that threshold for Prime Day Proper. You'll find the TomToc Slim down to just $29.59 in Amazon's first wave of Nintendo Switch 2 deals, a record-low price that beats the previous $36.99 rate by an additional $7. This one's just for members, though.
Best Buy could be making some moves
Best Buy's listing page pushed customers to check in-store for a long time, but that messaging seems to have disappeared from the site. The Nintendo Switch 2 is now simply 'out of stock'.
That gives me hope we might see some online restocks here soon. Best Buy did a similar thing before it's more recent online drop some weeks ago.
Argos has actual savings up for grabs
You'll find a number of Nintendo Switch 2 bundles available on Argos's site right now, making it a go-to for anyone looking to actually save some cash on accessories while buying their new handheld. Discounts range from £5 to 30% off Joy-Con chargers, or secure a Turtle Beach headset for just £10.
View all bundles at Argos
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is $15 off at Woot
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD | $59.99 $44.99 at Woot
I actually don't see too many discounts on Luigi's Mansion 2 HD in the US, which is odd considering it's a remaster and these types of games generally tend to drop their price tags a little quicker. Still, you'll find the newer release available for $44.99 at Woot right now, for a full $15 off its MSRP.
PSA: Amazon US does actually have a Nintendo Switch 2 landing page - it's just inactive
Amazon hasn't had any Nintendo Switch 2 stock even since the early pre-order days (there's rumors of a bust up between the two brands). However, there is a URL ready and waiting for the handheld to hit. This page is currently inactive, but it has been filled in with all the relevant Nintendo Switch 2 information in the past - definitely one to watch.
Stock still holding out in the UK
Stock is still bountiful in the UK right now, with Amazon, Very, Nintendo, EE, ShopTo, The Game Collection, and Argos all maintaining their supplies nicely. That means there's plenty to go around right now (though some retailers will have you waiting a little longer for delivery).
PSA: This is not a Prime Day Nintendo Switch 2 deal
Amazon currently has the Switch 2 Pro Controller down to $84, apparently on sale for 16% off its $99.99 MSRP. That's a starting price that seems to have been plucked out of thin air by this retailer, though - this gamepad has only ever been available for $84.99 at the most. Don't believe every Prime Day Nintendo Switch deal you come across - this is why price history matters.
Still nothing in the US
It was about this time yesterday when early rumblings of a Walmart Nintendo Switch 2 restock started to appear, but I'm not hearing anything out there today. Best Buy and Target could still surprise us later in the week, but for now things are looking quiet.
Will Currys be back in stock soon?
It's hardly a big issue when there are loads of other retailers in the UK stocking Nintendo's new console, but Currys is currently out of stock. It's had plenty of bundles and stock drops throughout the last month or two, though, and right now, you can register your interest for when it comes back.
There's an email box on the listing page where you can submit your details to be notified when Currys has stock again. Particularly if you want to pick yours up from a local shop in your area, this might be a good option.
If you're not willing to wait, there's Amazon, Very, Argos, and EE all packing the goods right now.
Walmart is in stock! And it's at MSRP!
A miracle! Walmart is stocking the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle at $499.
As we've seen every other time there have been restocks in the US, this will probably fly off the shelves, so go, go, go!
Nintendo Switch Mario Kart World Bundle | $499 at Walmart
And it's gone
That didn't last long, but Walmart did have the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock just a few moments ago. This is one to watch over the next few days as we could see more waves of availability up for grabs.
Still nothing from Best Buy
I was hoping Best Buy would come back at Walmart with a drop of its own today, but it's still laying low. That means the only Nintendo Switch 2 restock we've seen so far on Prime Day itself was a brief new wave going live at Walmart in the last couple of hours. It's still well worth watching for more flashes in this pan, though.
This is one of Duncan's favorite controllers and it's compatible with Switch 2
ManbaOne PC / Nintendo Switch 2 controller | $69.99 $55.99 at Amazon
A whole screen on your controller?
The ManbaOne has just dropped its price for Prime Day, and this Nintendo Switch 2 controller has never looked better. Previously hovering at the $70 mark, this wireless gamepad is now available for just $55.99. That's a $14 discount all in.
Duncan recommends this model for its super easy onboard controls. You'd usually need to connect to a separate app or plug into a PC to change things like dead zones and back button mapping. All that happens right on the screen up top. That's why it's one of the best PC controllers we've tested so far.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is available via invite at Amazon US
That listing page I posted a few hours ago? That's just sprung to life.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle is now up and live at Amazon US, and the retailer is finally taking registrations for invites. That means things are up and running this Prime Day and we could well see a major Switch 2 restock here before the week is out.
Nintendo Switch 2 | $499.99 at Amazon
UK stock is still holding out
As the US makes its own moves, I'm still seeing a massive range of retailers supplying the UK with Nintendo Switch 2 stock of its own. Very, Amazon, EE, Argos, and Nintendo itself are all still flush with consoles, though delivery times continue to extend on some.
Your best bet is still Nintendo for the fastest shipping overall.
I've been using this Switch accessory for years
Genki ShadowCast 2 | $49.99 $39.99 at Amazon
And it's just dropped back down to a record-low price at Amazon.
The Genki ShadowCast 2 is a fantastic budget capture card but its main strength for the Nintendo Switch family is its iPad compatibility. Genki has its own app, which allows you to connect the HDMI portion to your Switch and plug in via USB-C to essentially play your Nintendo Switch on a tablet display.
I use it more than you might think, especially when I'm on the road and need just that little extra screen space.
How to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 at Amazon US
Amazon opened up its invite system for Nintendo Switch 2 stock hunters today, so it looks like more retailers are getting in the game. To try your luck with this new system, all you need to do is make sure you're signed into your account and hit that yellow 'Request Invite' button. From there, you'll need to keep an eye on your inbox - you'll receive an email with a link to purchase if you're lucky!
No Switch 2 game deals just yet
It would be a bit much to ask for Nintendo Switch 2 game deals this early in the handheld's life cycle, but if you were holding out for Prime Day before stocking up your new console you're out of luck. While I'm seeing plenty of discounts on original Switch games (which are still fully compatible with your new device), the likes of Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza remain untouched.
This is the first Nintendo Switch 2 MicroSD Express card deal I've seen
Samsung MicroSD Express (256GB) | $69.99 $59 at Amazon
Here it is, the first discount on a Nintendo Switch 2 MicroSD Express card I've seen out in the wild. You're saving $10 on this 256GB card at Amazon right now, but these are popular. I wouldn't be surprised if this ran out as quickly as it appeared.
Target has the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock
On a whim, I decided to check out Target's latest moves and just so happened to land on some fresh Nintendo Switch 2 stock. You'll need to be fast to secure this bag, though it's still available for shipping at the time of writing.
Nintendo Switch 2 | $449.99 at Target
Target still going strong, but no Mario Kart World bundle in sight
Target still has the Nintendo Switch 2 by itself on the shelves right now, but the Mario Kart World bundle is yet to make an appearance. Considering how rough stock has been you'd be forgiven for picking up the game separately, especially if you're against the clock.
Trouble at Target
It looks like Target's site is starting to buckle. That means the crowds have descended on this surprise Nintendo Switch 2 restock. I was put in a line to get onto the page, but have managed to push through in the last few minutes. The queue isn't long, but the increased activity could mean things are moving fast.
Make sure to register Switch 2 stock interest with Amazon
Nintendo Switch 2 | Request an invite at Amazon
Another day of Switch 2 stock hunting is underway, and things are getting spicy in the US thanks to Amazon. The retailer finally has a solid listing for the handheld that'll let you request an invite to buy, which could mean supplies are about to stabilize across the board. Walmart and Target have already dropped more units this week, but if Amazon ends up with a steady listing, we could end up with just as many retailers as the UK keeping hold of consoles.
I use this adorable Kirby controller with Switch 2, and it's under $30 for Prime Day
If you're not sold on the idea of a controller that looks like Kirby has swallowed it for under $30, I don't know what to tell you. This wireless pad is back down to its lowest price for Prime Day and is a much cheaper alternative to Ninty's official accessory. Plus, it even has back buttons, so you're getting some elements of the Switch 2 Pro controller and a far cuter pad to boot.
PowerA Wireless Kirby Mouthful controller for Switch 2 | $44.99 $29.99 at Amazon
PSA: This dock will now work with the Switch 2
The official Switch 2 docking station is expensive, so I've been eagerly waiting for a compatible third-party dock. While this one by Antank (SIWIQU at Amazon) originally had issues, it now works with the handheld with no hiccups. I spent last night testing the accessory and ran into zero issues, meaning it's now a nice alternative that's much lighter for travel. Plus, it's 20% cheaper for Prime Day, so it could be worth grabbing while its discounted.
SIWIQU dock for Nintendo Switch 2 | $35.79 $28.63 at Amazon
My favorite retro handheld has joined the Prime Day party
It's no secret that I adore the Anbernic RG Cube and its weird square screen. You'd think that aspect ratio would be a pain in the butt when playing anything but Game Boy games, but I find that it makes the portable more versatile than its rivals. If the idea of a gaming handheld that help you play everything from PS1 games to Nintendo DS favorites sounds up your street, you'll want to grab the gadget while it's under $190.
If you love the look of this handheld's comfortable controls, but don't need Android as an operating system, there is also a cheaper RG Cubexx model for under $80. It's got a slightly lower spec chip, meaning it can struggle with Dreamcast and other more demanding systems, but it'll still provide a similar experience for less.
Anbernic RG Cube | $249.99 $189.99 at Amazon
Anbernic RG Cubexx | $94.99 $75.99 at Amazon
Nintendo has run out of stock in the UK
Nintendo's two-day run has now come to an end, with the brand itself running out of Nintendo Switch 2 stock earlier this morning. That means your best bet for the fastest delivery date is now Argos (depending on stock in your area) or Very, which is taking pre-orders for July 18.
Antonline is rumbling
Antonline has had a decent share of Nintendo Switch 2 stock so far, but it does include additional accessories and games in a higher bundle price. You're still paying MSRP for everything included, but these larger packages dissuade resellers and keep those handhelds in stock for much longer.
All these bundles have been listed as 'coming soon' for a couple of weeks now, but I've just noticed that a few have changed their tune. Some are displaying an 'in stock' message from the wider listing page, only to state that they're unavailable once you click through.
That kind of movement could mean bigger things are heading our way today.
GameStop is still in-store only
GameStop has been running its Nintendo Switch 2 restocks purely in store for some time now, and that doesn't look like it's about to change for Prime Day. The site still states that you'll need to check with your local retailer to find out about upcoming drops.
PSA: You'll need to be an EE Monthly Mobile subscriber to grab UK stock
If you're looking to buy Nintendo Switch 2 from EE, there's a catch. You'll need to be a Monthly Mobile member to have access to this supply, and you'll need to add it to your contract. Considering you'll be paying more than the RRP over the course of that 24 month agreement, this isn't the best option right now.
This is the cheapest Nintendo Switch 2 deal I've found this Prime Day
iVoler 3-pack Nintendo Switch 2 screen protector | $6.99 $5.79 at Amazon
Coming in at just over $5, this two-pack of iVoler Switch 2 screen protectors might be the cheapest Switch 2 accessory worth grabbing this Prime Day. Of course, thumbsticks exist - but they fit a whole manner of different controllers.
Walmart and Target have both dropped Nintendo Switch 2 stock this week - now all eyes are on Best Buy
I'm still waiting for Best Buy to drop more online Nintendo Switch 2 stock this week, after both Walmart and Target launched their own drops yesterday and the day before. It's not out of the question either, Best Buy has been pushing customers towards in-store restocks for some time now, but its site messaging is more online-focused this week. This is certainly one to watch.
Amazon's DMs are still open
Amazon US is still accepted invite registrations for its newfound Nintendo Switch 2 stock. Signing up here doesn't guarantee you access to a handheld, but it's certainly worth getting your name on the list for a chance.
Nintendo Switch 2 | Mario Kart World | $499.99 at Amazon
Do you have a GameStop near you?
If you're having trouble tracking down a Nintendo Switch 2 in the US, it might be worth double and triple-checking your local GameStop to see if there's one you can arrange for collection near you.
That said, there is a condition on the retail page that says "pre-owned", so be aware of that. Still, a pre-owned console this close to release would (hopefully) still be like new.
Nintendo Switch 2 | $439 at GameStop ($417 for members)
Remember to grab your memory card
If you've been lucky enough to scoop up a Nintendo Switch 2 this Prime Day, you'll want to grab yourself a memory card. Not only that, but you'll need to pick up the right one.
The Nintendo Switch 2 only accepts MicroSD Express cards, of which there are only a few on the shelves. Thankfully, stock is holding out nicely on these 256GB upgrades, though.
SanDisk MicroSD Express | $59 at Amazon
I'm keeping a close eye on Target
Target dropped its own Nintendo Switch 2 restock yesterday evening, and if the retailer wants to 'do a Walmart' (and essentially repeat its drop 24 hours later) it's going to pop off in about two hours time. I'm not massively optimistic, but stores have been making moves this Prime Day so far - so I'm not discounting the possibility.
First things first, sign up for that Amazon Switch 2 invite!
Look, I find it hard to pay attention if there's not a big shiny "buy now" button in front of me too. But, rather than waiting for the Switch 2 stock situation to settle, you'll want to be first in line to Amazon's weird invite-only purchasing party whenever it kicks off. The handheld hasn't stayed in stock long enough anywhere to justify taking advantage of this system, and there's no guarantee that somewhere with a better supply will pop up.
Nintendo Switch 2 console | $449.99 at Amazon (request invite)
Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World | $499.99 at Amazon (request invite)
Things are still very slow in the US
I'd love to tell you that Switch 2 stock is freely available in the US, but that's still not remotely the case over a month after launch. Your best bet right now is to request an invite at Amazon to buy the handheld, as even the portable does pop up elsewhere, it'll likely sell out pretty quick.
As soon as I spot any stock, you'll be the first to know, but until then, we'll need to all apply some patience.
Amazon UK stock is gone again, but there's still plenty Switch 2's to go around
If you were after a Nintendo Switch 2 in the UK today, you're gonna have to look elsewhere than Amazon. The massive retailer has sold out again of the Mario Kart World bundle, but fortunately, there's still a lot of Switch 2 stock to go around.
In the UK, you have plenty of other options, with Switch 2 bundles available at Very, TheGameCollection, and EE. Or, if you're comfortable enough to put in a backorder, you can also grab Ninty's newest handheld at ShopTo, too.
Antonline Switch 2 bundles are ready to go
I've been keeping an eye on Antonline for weeks now, and now some of the site's exclusive Switch 2 bundles are in stock. Viewing their product pages will say they're currently unavailable, but I've managed to add from to my basket without issue, so hopefully that's the case for you lot too.
These bundles come with a huge range of extra accessories, so they don't come cheap. But, if you were already after a ton of extras like the brand-new Legend of Zelda amiibos, then there's no real loss there.
