How to buy the Nintendo Switch 2: Here is the latest information
The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally a thing you can buy in the US — or at least, a thing you can try to buy.
The $450 console officially went up for sale at midnight ET on June 5, with numerous retailers offering the device both online and in-store.
Walmart opened up purchases online at midnight, but both the console alone and Nintendo’s Mario Kart World bundle are out of stock as of our latest update. Naturally, the world’s largest retailer is also selling the console at its brick-and-mortar locations.
The company has noted that quantities are limited and inventory will vary by location, but it’s worth checking if any store near you still has devices available.
GameStop held launch events on Wednesday and is advertising in-store availability, though again this will vary by location.
Anecdotally, Engadget’s Cherlynn Low was able to buy the console without a pre-order at a GameStop store in the New York City area on Thursday morning.
That particular location had a little under 80 units available, but its manager told Low that inventory will differ at other stores based on population.
