Just days after YouTuber Jake Randall tipped a restock of Nintendo Switch 2 at Target, the retailer has officially confirmed availability.
When preorders went live for Target's online store on April 24, the stock sold out in just two hours, according to a press release. Now, a new batch of standalone Switch 2 consoles and the Switch 2 + Mario Kart bundle will be available at physical stores on June 5 and on Target.com on June 6.
At select stores, Target will also create a dedicated Nintendo-themed space within the electronics section. But don't expect to just wander in.
Target requests that customers line up outside local stores before business hours begin on June 5. The team at the store will distribute a limited number of tickets, either physical or digital, to reserve your purchase. When it's your turn, you'll be directed to the electronics section, where you can purchase just one item—either the standalone Switch 2 or the Mario Kart bundle.
Online sales will begin early morning on June 6, and will continue until Target sells out.
Target hasn't confirmed how many units it has available, but Randall's leak suggested there would be 40-60 units at each store. So, if you want one, plan to line up early.
The dedicated Nintendo area in-store will also be selling additional Nintendo software, amiibo, accessories, and merchandise. The merch starts at $20, and it includes Nintendo-themed stainless steel tumblers, apparel, toys, collectibles, and more.
'At Target, we don't just launch products — we create moments,' says Cassandra Jones, Target's SVP of merchandising. 'The Nintendo Switch 2 is one of the most anticipated gaming releases in years, and we're making it unforgettable for our guests in a uniquely Target way.'
If you can't get a Switch 2 from Target on launch day, Staples, GameStop, Best Buy, and Costco are expected to have additional stock.
Also, if you have preordered a Switch 2, you need to recheck your order. Some users are seeing their purchases get canceled without reason.
