Switch 2 restock: Our long national Switch shortage may be over

Since its launch on June 5, every time we find another Switch 2 restock, the inventory is gone almost as fast as we can tell you about it. To be honest, it’s really annoying.

Ever since 2020, supply shortages in the gaming console market have been a given. It happened with the PlayStation 5, it happened with the Xbox Series X/S, and it happened with the recently released Nintendo Switch 2.

Thankfully, though, it seems like the Nintendo Switch 2 shortages are finally coming to an end, because the coveted handheld gaming console is currently available to purchase at most big-name retailers, whether online, by invitation, or in-store. And this isn’t another blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Switch 2 restock.

Read on for our breakdown of which retailers have the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock as of July 25, as well as how to get one. We’ve even included the newly announced Pokémon Legends: Z-A bundle, which is available for preorder. We don’t want to speak too soon, but it looks like we might finally be able to retire our Switch 2 inventory tracker.

Nintendo Switch 2 console

If you just want the Nintendo Switch 2 console with no games to go with it, you can grab the console-only version at multiple retailers right now. Target, Walmart, and Best Buy have them available for shipping, but Amazon and GameStop are a little trickier. For Amazon, you’ll need to request an invite on the store page to shop for one, and for GameStop, you’ll need to buy one in-store using the store locator on its website.

Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle

This popular bundle comes with a copy of Mario Kart World and saves you $30 compared to the price of buying the game and console separately. Note that if you’re buying at Amazon, Nintendo Switch 2 sales are only available via invite (just click “request invite” on the store page), and if you want to get one at GameStop, you’ll need to shop in-store. Just use the site’s store locator to check if your local shop has them in stock.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Pokémon Legends: Z-A bundle is the company’s newest Switch 2 bundle to hit the market, and you shouldn’t have any trouble preordering one of your own. So far, we’ve been able to get to check out at almost every single retailer, save for Amazon, which doesn’t have the bundle listed yet. Just note that this bundle won’t arrive until Oct. 16, so be prepared to wait.
