It’s been exceedingly difficult to find the Nintendo Switch 2 since it first hit shelves in June. We’ve seen sporadic restocks since then, but they often sell out in minutes, which means you’ll have to act fast if you don’t want to miss out. That being said, now’s your chance to grab this nifty new handheld at Target — though only the Mario Kart World bundle is in stock at the moment. You’ll also have to make a free account to purchase. If you miss Target’s restock, Amazon also has the bundle listed, but you’ll have to request an invite if you’re hoping to order one, and the retailer notes limited stock. We’ll be keeping an eye on availability and will update this page if any other retailers follow suit.
Rolling restocks are expected, but be aware that the consoles sell out within minutes. That’s why we’re here to give you the latest info and to make sure you’re ready if you’re hoping to score one. We’re also keeping track of the accessories you’ll want for your new console, from screen protectors to cameras and beyond.
Watch this: We Finally Unbox and Play the Switch 2. Should You Buy One?
Nintendo Switch 2 at Best Buy
Best Buy’s last Nintendo Switch 2 online restock was June 23, with an in-store restock July 1. It is currently sold out online. But there’s a slim chance that you can grab one at a nearby brick-and-mortar location if you’re lucky.
The console is currently sold out online, but you may be able to snag one in-person depending on your location. It’s also worth noting that several users have reported limited stock in-store when checking the Best Buy app, so that may also be a helpful tool for you.
Best Buy Canada is now offering the Switch 2 both in-person and online. There is current online availability for both the standalone console and the Mario Kart World bundle at the moment.
Even with the Switch 2’s boosted storage, you may want to increase its memory with a microSD card. This Samsung Express microSD is designed specifically for Nintendo’s new console and features a unique Mario-inspired design. It’s also available now, no wait required.
Nintendo Switch 2 at GameStop
As with other US retailers, the standalone console and Mario Kart World bundle are currently sold out online at GameStop. However, you may be able to find one at your nearest location if you’re lucky — but move fast, as stock is likely limited.
GameStop doesn’t have the standard or bundled versions of the Switch 2 available to buy online right now. The site says in-store restocks have arrived, so it’s worth checking your local store if you have one nearby.
The Switch 2 standalone console and the Mario Kart World bundle are both in-stock at GameStop Canada. But it’s important to note that orders are limited to three Switch 2 purchases per household.
Nintendo Switch 2 at Walmart
Walmart just had a restock June 25 for Walmart Plus members. Now the console is sold out online. The retailer may have some in-person availability. While it’s likely sold out just about everywhere, you can check if any nearby stores have it in stock. There are some third-party sellers offering the console online at a markup, but that comes with a lot of risk and is best to avoid.
You may see stock online at Walmart, but there’s a good chance it’s at a much higher price than you would find elsewhere. Walmart allows third parties to sell the console at whatever price they want, which is why our recommendation is to verify you’re buying from Nintendo when shopping at Walmart.
Walmart Canada has both the standalone console and the Mario Kart World bundle in stock at the time of publishing. Note that unverified third-party retailers are selling the standalone console and the Mario Kart World bundle for outrageously inflated prices. We recommend avoiding this — be sure to double-check that you’re getting the version marked as “sold and shipped by Walmart.”
Nintendo Switch 2 at Target
Target is sold out of the standalone console online. However, you can grab the Mario Kart World bundle if you’re quick. Target is also technically offering in-person shopping — and if you’re lucky, you may be still able to find the Switch 2 in stock near you.
Target has the Mario Kart World version of the console available online at the time of publishing. You can also still shop for the console in-store, but we expect supplies are likely gone, except in rare cases.
Even with the Switch 2’s boosted storage, you may be looking to increase its memory with a microSD card. This Samsung Express microSD is designed specifically for Nintendo’s new console and even features a unique Mario-inspired design.
Nintendo Switch 2 at Newegg
As of now, Newegg is still sold out of both versions of the console, and it’s unclear when the next restock will be. It’s also worth noting that Newegg is slightly less popular than major retailers like Walmart or Target, which could give you a better chance of securing an order during any future direct restocks, so keep an eye out.
Both the standalone console and Mario Kart World bundle are currently sold out. Newegg has not announced a specific restock event, but we recommend checking back regularly. Note that third-party resellers with inflated prices are selling at Newegg right now, but we definitely recommend avoiding this.

The camera has a wide-angle lens, which you can adjust to keep yourself in frame easily. It also automatically adjusts its brightness so your face is always visible.

We will keep checking for a restock.
Nintendo Switch 2 at Staples

How much does the Nintendo Switch 2 cost?
There was some concern that the new US tariffs were going to lead to some significant price hikes on the standalone console and the Mario Kart World bundle. Fortunately, Nintendo has confirmed that the original pricing still stands. The console is available for $450, with the Mario Kart World bundle priced at $500. However, there has been a change to the price of some accessories, with some increasing by $5.
Will the Nintendo Switch 2 come in other colors?
For the new Switch 2, Nintendo has ditched the colored Joy-Cons for a more sleek, monochrome look — although there are still pops of red and blue around the analog sticks. As of now, Nintendo hasn’t said anything about additional colors. Additionally, it’s rumored that Samsung — which makes the displays for the Switch 2 — is pushing for an OLED version of the console.
Is the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle worth it?
The Mario Kart series has been a long-standing tentpole for Nintendo and fans were thrilled to hear that a new title would be accompanying the new console. But the excitement was dampened by the announcement that the new game will come with an increased price tag: $80 for the digital edition or $90 if you want a physical copy. However, you can bundle a digital copy with the console for $500 total, which saves you $30 compared with buying them separately. It’s an excellent value if it’s a game you’re certain you want in your library and likely the only “discount” we’ll see on this title for quite some time. Plus, Nintendo recently announced that this bundle will be available only “through fall 2025,” which means you’ll have a limited chance to take advantage of these savings.
Nintendo Switch 2: What are people saying?
There are still some mixed feelings about Nintendo’s newest console. While some are happy to see that Nintendo hasn’t altered much about the wildly popular original Switch, others feel not enough has changed to justify the $150 price hike — with CNET gaming expert Scott Stein calling it a console that “feels a lot like an updated version of a system many people already own.” The confirmation that the US tariffs won’t be leading to any further price increases has helped stifle gamers’ exasperation a bit, but many are still unhappy with the fact that select games will be selling for up to $20 more than the standard $60. We’re eager to see if most gamers consider the price hikes worth it now that they’re finally getting their hands on the new console and games.
