Hurry! Don't miss out on grabbing the highly-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 from Walmart or Best Buy, while supplies last
The highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is now available, and we've gathered information on where you can find this gaming console, both online and in-store. Here's a breakdown of the major U.S. retailers that carry the Nintendo Switch 2 and some tips for finding stock.
Best Buy
Best Buy offers the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle, which is particularly abundant in-store. The standalone console can be more elusive online, but checking local Best Buy stores for availability is recommended [1][3].
Target
Target tends to have more reliable in-store stock, so visiting physical locations could be advantageous. Online stock may be limited, but it's still worth checking [1][2].
Walmart
Walmart offers Switch 2 stock, primarily for Walmart+ members online. However, be cautious of pricing — Walmart sometimes sells the Switch 2 console above MSRP, so buying elsewhere might be better [1][2][3].
Sam's Club, BJs, Costco
These membership-only warehouse clubs have Switch 2 stock, especially bundled packs. Costco typically has in-store availability for members [1].
GameStop
GameStop generally has in-store availability, and its website often redirects customers to stores nearby for purchase [2][3].
Nintendo Official Store
Nintendo's official store fluctuates in terms of stock, encouraging frequent checks or invites to purchase [1][4].
Newegg and Antonline
These online retailers sometimes have stock or bundles, but they often sell out quickly and may carry prices above MSRP [3].
To stay updated on regular restocks:
- Monitor the websites and in-store stock of these retailers frequently.
- Sign up for product alerts or restock notifications where possible.
- Use store locators and "find in store" tools, especially for GameStop, Target, and Best Buy.
- Avoid overpriced listings, notably from Walmart or third-party sellers on platforms like Amazon.
- Consider membership warehouse stores for occasional stock but note that availability can be limited to physical stores.
In summary, checking Best Buy, Target, Walmart (especially in-store), Sam's Club, BJs, GameStop, Costco, and Nintendo's official store most regularly will provide your best chance to find the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock. Physical visits combined with online monitoring are recommended since online stock often sells out quickly [1][2][3].
Some key specifications of the Nintendo Switch 2 include a 7.9-inch screen, a display resolution of 1080p, HDR capabilities (depending on the software), a thickness of 13.9 mm, and a maximum frame rate of 120 frames per second without the dock [5]. When connected to a dock, the Nintendo Switch 2 can play games up to 4K [5]. Both the standalone Switch 2 and the Switch 2 bundle with Mario Kart World game are available at Best Buy, and the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart is available at Walmart [5]. Act fast as the Nintendo Switch 2 consoles might not be available for long [6].
