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.

Got a Switch 2? Then you need Donkey Kong Bananza
If you've finally secured a Switch 2 now that stock is available, or if you're ready to take a break from Mario Kart World, then you should pick up a copy of Donkey Kong Bananza.
Like we said in our Donkey Kong Bananza review, this game is a joy to play from start to finish thanks to its destructible environments and unique visuals. It’s the 3D Donkey Kong game fans of the character have always wanted, and it lives up to the hype.
Handheld showdown starts now...
There are a lot of handheld consoles to choose from these days, but have you ever wondered how that stack up against each other? Tom's Guide senior computing writer Tony Polanco and Tom's Guide content producer Paul Antill are putting our favorite handheld gaming consoles in a bracket-style competition to determine which one merits a spot in your home.
Best of all — you get to determine which four consoles move on to the semi-finals round! From the Switch 2 to the Asus ROG Ally X, we'll compare the pros/cons in every matchup and give our takes on which consoles we think deserve to win. But ultimately it's up to you to decide how things end up. Check out episode 1 right now on YouTube.
Already have a Switch 2? Buy this next...
Switch 2 stock can be found just about anywhere these days. So if you already have a console — here's what I think your next purchase should be: The Switch 2 Pro Controller.
We were huge fans of the original controller and the new Switch 2 Pro Controller lives up to its lineage. It offers a more comfortable and precise way to play Switch 2 games. This is thanks to its ergonomic design and responsive buttons and joysticks. Though expensive, it’s essential for Switch 2 users who primarily play in docked mode or who just want a better controller.
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.
- Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle: $499 @ Best Buy
- Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle: $499 @ Target
- Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle: $499 @ Sam's Club
- Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle: $499 @ BJ's
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.
- Amazon: IN STOCK NOW
- Currys: IN STOCK NOW
- Very: IN STOCK NOW

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.
