Here's how to get your Nintendo Switch 2 at a physical store when it goes on sale on Thursday, June 5.
Here's the official word, straight from Target corporate. Many Target stores open at 8 a.m. local time, though some open at 7 a.m. Use the Target store locator to be sure.
People who want to buy their Switch 2 at Target can begin lining up at the entrance of each store before it opens on Thursday.
"Target team members will distribute physical or digital tickets, which will reserve your product for purchase," Target's press release states.
The company also notes there is limited stock is available and that ticketing will take place until all tickets have been claimed, or 10 minutes before the store opens.
If you get a ticket, you will be directed to the electronics area of the store to buy your Switch 2, collect it, and head home to game.
Target states that the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundles are limited to "one product, per item, per guest."
The company has also said that on Friday, the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle will be on sale "beginning early morning" on Target.com.
Walmart will be open at midnight (12:01 a.m.) on Thursday, June 5, for in-store purchases of the Nintendo Switch 2, the company told 9 to 5 Toys this week.
The publication also reports that Switch 2 devices may be available for online order at midnight Eastern, too. (That's 9 p.m. Pacific time.)
Use Walmart's store finder to locate the nearest location.
Costco will have the Switch 2/Mario Kart World bundle for sale in store when its stores open on Thursday, June 5. The warehouse store is limiting the purchase to members only and allowing only one transaction per membership, and you can only buy one Nintendo Switch 2 every seven days.
Most Costco locations open at 10 a.m. You can search for a location using Costco's Find a Warehouse tool.
Best Buy is having a special late-night opening for the Nintendo Switch 2.
There's even an FAQ about it! Below is the pertinent information to buy a Switch 2 at a physical Best Buy store on June 5.
Also: Best Buy locations will have "limited Nintendo Switch 2 inventory for walk-up customers."
The company also notes there will be two lines: "We anticipate that customers will line up early for a chance to get a system. There will be two lines: one for pre-order pick up, and one for limited quantities of inventory for sale to customers who did not pre-order."
Most Best Buy in the U.S. will open Thursday, June 5, at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time for pre-order pickup and walk-in purchases. Opening times for other time zones:
Central Time: June 4, 11:01 p.m.
Mountain Time: June 4, 10:01 p.m.
Pacific Time: June 4, 9:01 p.m.
During "launch week" — which we can assume is seven days starting from June 5 — the Switch 2 console will only be for sale in store at Best Buy. However, games and accessories will still be available online.
If you're into commemorative coins — and who isn't? — you can also take one of them home from Best Buy. Here are the details on that: "Coin inventory is limited, so be sure to get to the store early for a chance to collect one. The coin is available to customers who pick up or purchase a console in-store at a late-night store opening event. The limited-edition commemorative coin features special Nintendo and Best Buy branding. "
Walmart-owned warehouse chain Sam's Club will sell the Nintendo Switch 2/Mario Kart World bundle at its locations starting June 5.
Shipping is not available for the item, and Sam's Club advises that it has limited quantities. The Switch 2 pre-order was not available at Sam's Club.
The club finder on its website will point you to the nearest Sam's Club location.

The SoloCam S340 is one product among many that showcases their innovation in terms of design and user experience.

It's easy to install: no extensive wiring is required, and you don't even need to hire a professional. In only five minutes, you'll have an operational and high-tech guard for your home.

This way, you will be able to see all that's happening outside your home whatever time of day it is. The 8× zoom with this camera lets you capture a close-up shot of anyone approaching your house so nothing escapes you. While the maximum resolution drops to 2K when using AI Tracking or Dual Views, the quality remains sharp and reliable for most home security needs. The SoloCam S340 also eliminates blind spots: Thanks to its 360° pan and tilt capabilities, you can monitor every corner of your property from a single, strategically placed camera. Whether you want to keep an eye on your front porch, backyard or driveway, this camera covers it all.
