The wait is over. Nintendo Switch 2 is now available, and gamers are already sampling the delights of Nintendo's new hybrid console. However, if you didn't manage to snag a pre-order, getting hold of a Switch 2 is proving to be a fairly difficult task right now.
Much like the PS5 and Xbox Series X before it, Nintendo Switch 2 is yet another in-demand item that retailers just can't keep in stock. But, don't lose hope, restocks are on the way, and we've already seen a major one at Walmart over the weekend. Expect more stock soon.
In the U.K., the situation looks a lot brighter. Switch 2 stock levels appear to be mostly meeting demand, with restocks more plentiful and sticking around longer. At present, the console is again sold out in the region, but I expect more restocks will be on the horizon later this week.
For those totally out of the loop, Nintendo Switch 2 launched last week (Thursday, June 6), and costs $449 / £395, or you can get the console bundled with the flagship launch game Mario Kart World for $499 / £429. That's a $30 saving compared to buying the items separately.
I've more than five years of experience tracking console restocks, so I know the ins and outs of securing hard-to-buy gaming tech. I'm putting all that expertise to good use to help you pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 as soon as possible. Follow along for the latest live updates.
