If you're wondering where to buy Nintendo Switch 2, your luck is going to depend on where you are right now. If you're in the US, you're joining thousands of gamers hunting down rare Switch 2 stock. In the UK, you're in for a much better time.
Ninty's new handheld has been flying off the shelves since launch. While release day did offer up a massive wave of new supplies, things have been a little haphazard in the weeks that followed. Multiple retailers have been running reliable Switch 2 restocks in the UK over the course of the last week, but US stock has been dry for some time now.
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. I've been tracking stock on hard-to-find devices for over five years now. I know which retailers to check first, the signs that new supplies are on their way, and how to make the most of each drop. You'll find all my latest updates on the biggest stores just below and live Nintendo Switch 2 stock tracking further down the page.

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.

Amazon is making some moves
Amazon went live with a short and sweet Nintendo Switch 2 restock earlier today, and those units have been reappearing fairly infrequently over the course of the day. It's well worth keeping an eye on this site in the UK, especially if you don't want to buy direct from Nintendo.
Best Buy might be back online for its next restock
Best Buy was limiting its Nintendo Switch 2 stock to its physical retail stores a couple of weeks ago, but the website is no longer sending customers to a store locator. That means there could well be more online restocks heading our way.
In the US? Keep an eye on Antonline
Antonline is one of the few US retailers I've seen actively offering Nintendo Switch 2 stock for more than a couple of hours at a time and with any kind of returning frequency. These are higher-priced bundles, yes. The cheapest I saw during the retailer's most recent restock was $609.99. Nothing is over MSRP, though, you're simply buying additional games and accessories to bump up that price.
That's why these stock drops stick around for longer. The higher prices dissuade resellers and keep the goods for the players actually hunting down their own stock.
Don't expect too much from Argos any time soon
Argos has a major Nintendo Switch 2 restock on Friday, which means I wouldn't keep it at the front of your mind for a while. It takes a few days for each retailer to rebuild its stock levels and this store seems to take a little longer. For now, I'd prioritize Nintendo, Amazon, and Currys in the UK.
Watch out for the Walmart Plus free trial
Walmart is offering early access on its Nintendo Switch 2 stock for its Plus members, and there also just so happens to be a free trial on offer. Watch out, though. Previous high-profile exclusive drops have only been for paying Walmart Plus members. The store has excluded anyone currently on a free trial from these restocks in the past.
Nintendo still has stock in the UK
Nintendo is still holding firm with its own Switch 2 stock in the UK, with both the Mario Kart World bundle and individual console still available to order from the brand's own store. That's impressive considering the only other retailers with availability are on backorder right now.
Walmart Plus members will have early access to Wednesday's Switch 2 restock
Walmart has finally broken its Switch 2 silence, with banners appearing on listing pages for both the Mario Kart World bundle and the individual handheld advertising another round of restocks on June 25. That's this Wednesday, and Plus members can have at this latest round one hour before everyone else.
Considering the speed at which the Nintendo Switch 2 sells out, that hour is going to matter.
Another week of stock hunting begins
The UK saw a flurry of activity towards the end of last week, with a number of Nintendo Switch 2 restocks dropping all across the web. Unfortunately, the US hasn't been so lucky. Things remain quiet with no reliable restock cadence for nearly three weeks after the official launch. Something's gotta budge at some point, which is why I'm following all the biggest retailers live.
