Nintendo Switch 2 restocks live — Best Buy, Target, Walmart and more confirmed stock

Here’s where to buy a Switch 2 this week

Nintendo Switch 2 restocks

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.

CHECK STOCK

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.

Everywhere in the UK has stock now

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.

I've scanned through all the retailers and here's which U.K. outlets currently have stock.

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.

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.

Here's a full breakdown of all the stock I've been able to find.

Welcome! Switch 2 availability is here
