Here’s where to buy a Switch 2 this week

3. U.K. restocks
4. LIVE: Latest updates
Nintendo Switch 2 restock has continued to get easier over the weekend and this week looks like we'll have plenty of availability left. Months of stock shortages have given way to a reliable supply at several of the major retailers.
Walmart, Costco and Target are all seeing consoles available, either purchased solo or with Mario Kart World bundled in. Meanwhile, Best Buy only has the Mario Kart Bundle available. Which, if you ask me, is the one to get anyway as that saves you $30 on the epic Switch 2 launch title.
Even if you haven't snapped one up yet, the stock seems to be hanging around a bit longer than we saw in June and July. Which suggests we could be nearing the end of chronic stock shortages.
Over in the U.K., it's been a different picture for weeks now with Switch 2 seeing plenty of availability for a while. Anyone that hasn't bought Nintendo's best-selling hybrid console already should have no trouble finding a device at any of the U.K.'s major retailers.
Nintendo Switch 2 launched on June 5 and costs $449 / £395 standalone and $499 / £429 bundled with Mario Kart World. There is also a new Pokémon Legends A-Z Bundle, which also costs $499 / £429 and is available to pre-order now. It will launch on October 16.
I’ve been tracking Nintendo Switch 2 restocks every single week since the console was first made available to pre-order back in April, and even though it's now more available than it's ever been, I'll keep providing the latest updates to help you lock in a console as soon as possible.

Target has restocked the Nintendo Switch 2 but it's not available to purchase online. Both the standalone console and the Mario Kart Bundle are seemingly available at different locations, so check carefully near you to find out if there's availability.
Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Target
Sam's Club currently has stock of the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle! You can only order one per membership, though.
Walmart has stock of the Nintendo Switch 2 for $569. Walmart's usual restock pattern is to first release stock exclusively to Walmart Plus members before later opening up to everyone. While this inflated price is available for everyone, I don't recommend paying it.
Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Walmart
GameStop says it has restocked the Nintendo Switch 2, but it is currently only available in-store. However, as a specialist video game retailer, we're expecting online stock to arrive at almost any point, so watch this space.

My Nintendo Store is using an invite system to allocate its available Switch 2 stock. You will need to meet specific criteria, including having a Nintendo Switch Online account and then be selected and sent an invite to order the console.
Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Nintendo Store
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.

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.

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

LIVE: Latest Updates
Lots of Mario Kart World bundles available
Most of the stock available in the U.S. currently seems to be for the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle with the standalone console proving harder to find. Both Best Buy and Sam's Club only seem to have the Mario Kart bundle in stock right now.
While Walmart does have the standalone console in stock, the price has been inflated so high it's not worth your time. I'll keep looking and flag up if and when I find the standalone console for sale.

Anyone reading this in the U.K. will be pleased to know the Switch 2 system remains extremely easy to purchase in the U.K.
Right now, all the biggest retailers, including Amazon, Currys and GAME are stocking the Switch 2 standalone console and the Mario Kart World bundle at the MSRP. You should have no problem picking up a Switch 2 this week.

What is Walmart doing with this pricing?
The good news is that Walmart has Switch 2 console stock. The bad news is that somewhere along the road, they've gone and got a bit confused over pricing. See, Walmart is currently selling the standalone Nintendo Switch 2 console for $569! That's a massive $120 over the MSRP and a definite price you should not be paying.
The standard Nintendo Switch 2 console should cost you $449 and, with stock starting to become available elsewhere, there's no excuse to pay Walmart's ridiculous pricing just to get your hands on one.
All the places you can get Switch 2 stock in the US
After what feels like months of waiting, the Switch 2 stock situation in the U.S. has improved dramatically at the start of this new week. If you're planning to spend next weekend checking out Mario Kart World or Donkey Kong: Bananza, then you shouldn't have any trouble on the hardware side.
Right now, you can grab the Switch 2-only and/or Mario Kart World bundles across Best Buy, Sam's Club, BJs and Walmart. Some retailers only have in-store availability so it's always worth checking your nearby retail locations, too.
