The Nintendo Switch 2 has finally become available for purchase in the US. The $450 console was made available at midnight ET on June 5, but online stock has dried up quickly. For those who missed out on an online order, heading to a physical retail store may be the best bet.
Several retailers have the device both online and in-store, including Walmart, GameStop, and Target. However, availability is highly limited, and quantities vary by location. Some stores, like GameStop, are holding launch events and advertising in-store availability, while others, like Best Buy, are not selling the console online during launch week.
Online retailers like Costco, Sam’s Club, and BJ’s have also listed the Switch 2 on their sites, but with limited stock. Verizon briefly had the device available for customers with Verizon service, while Amazon has not taken any pre-orders.
For those who miss out on the initial launch, it may be worth checking back later or considering alternative retailers like Costco, which offers a Mario Kart World bundle with a 12-month Switch Online membership. Nintendo is also selling various accessories and games for the Switch 2, including Mario Kart World and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
For those who missed out on purchasing the Switch 2, here are some details on where to buy it:
– GameStop ($625 bundle with various accessories)
– Costco (membership required)
– Sam’s Club (membership required)
– BJ’s (membership required)
– Verizon (service required)
It’s worth noting that availability and stock levels may vary by retailer and location. This article will be updated as more information becomes available on how to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 in the US.
