4. LIVE: Latest updates
Nintendo Switch 2 is still not constantly in stock, but there are positive signs that supply is starting to catch up with demand. Switch 2 restocks are becoming more frequent and lasting longer before the console returns to its default state of being sold out.
Retailers like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, GameStop, and Amazon have all restocked over the past month, and we’re expecting to see new opportunities to buy the console this week. The most recent restock came from Target, and while the retailer is once again out of stock right now, this drop lasted much longer than usual, taking several hours to sell out rather than minutes.
Meanwhile, over in the U.K., we’ve seen an abundance of Switch 2 restocks, with the console regularly available across major retailers. Not only has the console been available more often, but these drops have often lasted several days before selling out.
While the U.S. supply is increasing, it still remains significantly easier to score a Switch 2 in the U.K. If you have vacation time coming up, I hear London is nice this time of year.
Nintendo Switch 2 launched on June 5 and costs $449 / £395 standalone and $499 / £429 bundled with Mario Kart World. As you’d expect, we’ve seen plenty of unscrupulous scalpers try and resell Switch 2s at an inflated markup, but don’t be tempted to overpay. Stick with this live blog and we’ll help you secure Nintendo’s latest hardware at its regular price.
I’ve personally been tracking restocks of hard-to-buy gaming items for more than five years, and I’m putting all that experience to good use to bring you the latest Switch 2 restock updates and also all the retailer links you need when the console does come back in stock.

Walmart looks to be out of stock of the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle for $499. Walmart's usual restock pattern is to first release stock exclusively to Walmart Plus members before later opening up to everyone.
Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Walmart
Target last restocked the Switch 2 on Thursday, July 17. This could mean the next drop is a little ways off, as the retailer may need some time to build up its inventory again before restocking.
Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Target
GameStop is currently sold out of Switch 2 consoles. However, as a specialist video game retailer, we're expecting more stock to arrive shortly, so watch this space.

Antonline's Switch 2 listings have a "coming soon" message. This could be a sign that the tech retailer is planning to restock the console in the near future, though that message has been there quite a while now, so it's a little puzzling.
Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Antonline
Newegg's Nintendo Switch 2 pages are live, but there's currently no stock. Newegg may restock the console soon, but nothing is confirmed yet, so this is another one to watch closely for now.
Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Newegg
Sam's Club has a listing page for the Nintendo Switch 2, which currently advises the console is "coming soon." This could be an indication that the retailer is planning to take Switch 2 orders in the near future, so be sure to watch this space.
Nintendo Switch 2 accessories

The official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera is pretty dull, but this licensed third-party one from Hori is anything but. It's modeled after the iconic Piranha Planet from the Super Mario series and offers all the same features, plus you can close the Piranha's head to give yourself some privacy as needed. Huge caveat: it's resolution maxes out at 480p, whereas the Nintendo camera is 1080p.

Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 is the definitive way to enjoy CDPR's critically acclaimed first-person open-world RPG on the go. You play a mercenary named V, completing missions in the dark city of the future, Night City, though your main aim is surviving the chaos that surrounds you. This Ultimate Edition also includes the essential Phantom Liberty DLC expansion, which opens up a new area of the map, the ruthless Dogtown.

The original Switch's definitive launch game has returned for the Switch 2, and now it's been enhanced for Nintendo's new hardware.

Nintendo Switch 2 games on sale!

DK Bananza is the Switch 2's system seller
Like pretty much all Switch 2 owners, I've been spending my weekend playing Donkey Kong Bananza, and as TG's reviewer, Anthony Spadafora said, it's "one of the best reasons to get a Switch 2." In fact, I'd go further, it's currently the reason to get one.
This platform is a complete blast, and the way you can smash through entire levels never stops being novel. It's also a collector's dream with a staggering amount of knick-knacks to find, and the completionist in me wanted to find literally everything.
If you already own a Switch 2, or plan to pick one up soon once the next round of restocks appear, then you need to make sure DK Bananza is one of the first games you play. Yes, Mario Kart World is fun, but Bananza is the true Switch 2 system seller.
Donkey Kong Bananza allows DK to smash his way through (and down into) the surrounding terrain. He can punch his way through mountains or head underground in search of collectibles. It's hands-down one of the Switch 2's biggest titles.

Switch 2 currently sold out in the US
In the story is less positive in the US right now. Currently, the Nintendo Switch 2 is sold out across major retailers. Though you can still request an invite at Amazon, so that is your best bet at present. Still, the most recent restock came from Target and lasted several hours, taking almost a full day to sell out, so hopefully once the console returns we'll again see a longer period of availability rather than a sell out in just a minutes.
