Nintendo's new console has officially been available for over 24 hours now, though actually being able to buy Nintendo Switch 2 𝔉has still been tricky. While we saw good availability over launch day itself things are a lot quieter now. Midnight and day-one launch𓂃 parties seem to have wiped retailer stock from the shelves, but there's always more where that came from.
I've been tracking high profile releases for over five years now, hunting down stock of everything from the PS5 and Xbox during their own chaotic launches to limited edition PlayStation drops and more. I've als♏o been watching Nintendo Switch 2 stock levels ever since pre-orders were first announced months ago. I've covered the biggest surpri🌱se drops and learned how all these retailers operate.

Where to buy Nintendo Switch 2 in the UK
Live updates
Antonline looks to be done
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:For now.
Antonline's bundles are currently listed as available, but heading onto the product pages themselves rev🐈eals the message "item cannot be purchased at this time."
It's definitely one to watch for future restocks though, the higher prices of these bundles mean they tend to stick around a little♒ longer. You're still getting a fair price for every✅thing, but buying a lot more in order to grab that handheld.
Just the Mario Kart World bundle left at Nintendo
Interestingly, the handheld by itself has sold out before the Mario Kart World bundle in Nintendo's latest drop. You'll still find the £429.99 package deal l🐼ive on these shelves - but they may 👍not be for much longer.

Out of stock for now, but keep tabs on Target
Target has now run out of Nintendo Switch 2 handhelds, but I'd keep a close eye on this one fo💝r the rest of the day. We've seen a handful of drops going live here over the course of the morning and that could well continue.
Target is live
Target just dropped more Nintendo Switch 2 stock on its site, with the $499.99 Mario Kart Worldꦍ bundle now available for delivery by Monday June 9.

Some of those cheaper Antonline bundles are starting to run out
Antonline had a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle going for $609.99 earlier today (with a bunch of extra accessories and games thrown in), but that's now listed as 'Coming Soon'. This was the cheapest bundle on this retailer's shelves, but there are still more premium offerings available. 𝄹They're the last remaining stock I'm seeing in the US, though, so things are going to move fast.
Nintendo is still going in the UK
I've just checked back in with Nintendo and it's ♒still got stock of both the handheld itself and the Mario Kart World bundle on the shelves. That's impressive co꧟nsidering other retailers are still running on empty right now.
Nintendo is live
Nintendo has the Switch 2 live on the shelves now, with both the Mario Kart World bundle and solo handheld up for grabs. This could move fast - it's one of the only 🐼post-launch day drops I've seen so far.

Target is the place to be today
If you're hunting 💦down some early Nintendo Switch 2 restocks in the US today, I'd keep a close eye on Target. The retailer was slated to offer in-store availability yesterday, but it's always said it will take things online today. It's worth staying close to this store around 9am ET and 1pm ET - some stores are releasing stock in waves to ali🐻gn with different timezones.
The US might be quiet, but there's still plenty Switch 2 stock in the UK
My Nintendo Switch 2 arrived a few hours ago, so now that the day is coming to an end, you can bet that I'll be spending my evening playing Mario Kart World and getting to grips with my new bit of Ninty hardware.
If you want to d🔥o the same as soon as possible, there's still plenty of Switch 2 stock left on the UK digital shelves for now. It's now as busy as it was this morning, but retailers from Very, EE, and Argos are still going strong. In the US, today hasn't been the best for stock, that's for sure. There have been no major stock drops to be found. However, brands like Best Buy and Target are always worth popping into in person to see if they have any Switch 2 stock left for the picking.

Very is selling out of Switch 2 stock!
Very has been very good with Switch 2 stock today. For nearly all the time I've spent whittling away writing about the new handheld, the retailer 💜has had both the standard cons꧙ole and the Mario Kart World Bundle in stock. But now, as the sun's starting to set over here in the UK, stock is starting to sell out.
Only a Nintendo Switch Mario Kart World bundle, with the Switch 2 Camera and Switch 2 Pro Controller, is still available, and if you grab it now, it won't arrive until June 13. If you can't quite afford this exclusive bundle, remember that plenty of other UK retailers have Switch 2 stock, and that's bound to be the case tomorrow too. But it could be a handy way to get access to a Swit✱ch 2 camera and the new Pro Controller withou🌄t having to buy them separately.
Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World | Switch 2 Camera | Switch 2 Pro Controller |
Amazon still has Switch 2 stock left
I'm genuinely surprised any Switch 2 stock🅺 on Amazon is still available, but right now you can still grab the standard console at the UK retailer.
The Mario Kart World Bundle is gone for now, but if you prefer to own your games physically and just want the Switch 2 on its ▨own, then you're in luck! It's worth knowing that if you g🔥rab Switch 2 from Amazon today, the retailer states it won't arrive until "9 days before Father's Day", which by my calculations should be tomorrow (June 6).
Why did they word it that way? Who knows. But at least that means you won't have to wait too long, especially if you also happen to be a Prime member.

Strike a pose with the Switch 2 camera - available this launch day
Today doesn't just markꦇ the release of the Swit🐓ch 2 console, but also Ninty's range of first-party accessories - including the official Switch 2 camera.
Out of the free Switch 2 cameras released so far, this is the only one with a 1080p resolution. That means, if you want to ensure you look your best while chatting way to your friends via GameChat, this is your best option. Of course, you can also try out any USB-C cameras you have lying around and save that cash towards so꧑me other Switch 2 goodies - but that's entirely up to you.

Donkey Kong Bananza isn't out today, but pre-orders are still out in the wild
While I'm very excited to dig into Mario Kart World later tonight, it's Donkey Kong Bananza that is easily the most excited I've been for a new Switch 2 game so far. Sadly, it's not a launch title, so there are still a few days to go until I can start my a-peel-ing adventure with DK and༺ crew.
Donkey Kong Banaza 🦹unleashes onto the Nintendo Switch 2 on July 17, 2025. That gives me (and you) plenty of time to pre-order it for ouဣr brand new handhelds, and copies are not hard to find, whether you're in the US or the UK.

US Switch 2 stock check-in!
Don't worry US friends, I haven't forgotten about you.
It just turns out that launch day is pretty quiet as far as online Switch 2 stock for you all.
There's still plenty of time left in the day, so hopefully that will change. I doubt we'll see the same launch day Switch 2 stock drops as the UK, where there's new batches releasing no matter where you look. However, I'd be surprised if we got to the end of release day without one major US retailer unleashing another load of Switch 2s onto the digital shelves.
In the meantime, if you happen to be near your local Best Buy, Target, or Walmart,𝓰 make sure to pop in and check if they have any Switch 2 consoles available in-store.
Argos only is out of stock of the Mario Kart World bundle - but there's good news!
If you were holding out for grabbing the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle at Argos today, I'm sorry to say it's now out of stock. The retailer was holding out strong with its fresh batch of new handheld stock this launch day, but things are starting to dwindle the more hours pass.
At least, there's still plenty of standard Nintendo Switch 2 consoles available. And you can always grab Mario Kart World separately for if you'r🎀e eager to play the new gaꦇme, too.

Time for some nostalgia - the Switch 2 GameCube controller is available
The Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controller is easily one of my favorite new accessories ꦏto date - but then, I grew up with the glorious purple box. It's hard to fully put into words just how stunning this controller is in person, and I haven't even taken mine out of the box yet.
If you're a paying Nintendo Switch Online member, you can grab your own through the Nintendo UK online store right now. As a word of advice, if you're part of a family NSO accountꦍ, the site might not register that you're eligible to order the controller.
Don't worry though - refreshing the🦄 page will help you add it to your basket. I'm part of an NSO family, and after a few page refreshes, I was able to order the controller in no time!

PSA - Switch 2 Legend of Zelda upgrade packs are available for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members
If you just got your new shiny Switch 2 and were about to buy the new upgrade packs for the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, hold𒁃 off for a second.
If you're a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion member, you can get access to 🌱the Switch 2 upgrade packs for no extra cost. The only thing you need to have, is access to the original꧋ games, either physically or digitally, and you can enjoy the new Switch 2 upgraded versions of the games, which pack on everything from a newly improved performance to HDR support.
So far, this is only for these two games, however. So if you have your eyes on that Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV pack, you will still have to buy that from select retailers, or t꧋hrough the Switch 2 eShop.
The ferociously charming Hori Switch 2 camera is still available
This ad💧orable Super Mario-themed camera will make your gaming setup look like the Mushroom Kingdom.
Instead of a plain, all-black look, Hori opted to ꧑make their camera look like the iconic Piranha Plant baddie, and it even includes a warp-pipe base too. This camera can be hooked up to your new Switch 2 dock, or taken out from its base and popped into the top of your handheld. As a word of warning, this is only a 480p camera, so its visual quality isn't quite up to the standard of the Switch 2 camera - but what it lacks in specs, it makes up for in looks.

Got your sparkly new Switch 2? Why not grab some games
If you've already got your Switch 2 atꦗ hand (I'm ꧅still waiting on mine so I'm definitely not jealous right now, nope) then you'll likely be after some brand-new games to go along with it.
Of course, you can make use of your existing Switch games, both digital and physical, thanks to the new handheld's backwards compatibility. But, now thꦆat launch day is finally here, there's plenty of new game🍨s to pick up - with other exciting releases on the way too!

UK Switch 2 launch day stock check-in!
If you didn't grab a pre-order and had just made the decision to grab a Switch 2, you're in the right place! Well, at least those of🍷 you based in the UK are, as US online stock has been pretty lacklustre 🥀so far today.
However, fellow UK-based pals, you have a plethora of online retailers to choose from today when it comes to picking up the new handheld. Everywhere from Very, Argos, EE, and even Amazon has a fresh batch of Switch 2 consol𒆙es, ready for the taking, and I've listed all the available ones below.

Amazon UK is back with some Switch 2 stock!
It really 🍰is a good dღay for the UK as far as Switch 2 stock goes. Now, Amazon has joined the fray, and both the standard Switch 2 and the Mario Kart World bundle are currently in stock at the UK version of the site.
I don't expect these will be around much longer. So if you want to make use of your speedy Prime delivery, I recommend adding a Switch to your b🌳asket🦹 while you still can.

HMV has Switch 2 stock for a limited time in the UK
Findi꧅ng a Ninten🔯do Switch 2 this launch day is a breeze - especially with the slew of UK-based retailers dropping fresh new batches of the new handheld everywhere you look.
Today, HMV has joined in on the fun, with stock available for the standard console and the Mario Kart Wo✱rld bundle. These won't be around for long though, as HMV states that the Switch 2 stock is "strictly limited and once it's gone... it's gone" just below the bright pink ꦡ'add to basket' buttons.
So if you want a Switch 2 from HMV, I recommend getting in the🍬re quick. And hey, you could even buy some vinyl while you're at it. If that's your thing.

Want more Switch 2 storage? You'll need a microSD Express Card
The Nintendo Switch 2 requires the use of microSD Express Cards when providing additional s🅷torage. Popping in your older Switch SD card will only let you transfer screenshots and game clips, and that's it, so if you want more than the 256GB worth of onboard storage of the new console, grabbing a microSD Express Card is the only way to go.
For now, the licensed cards only go as far as 256GB, but that will still equip your new Switch 2 with double the storage of the console itself, which is better than nothing. The major caveat with these new SD Cards is that they are a bit on the pricey side. If you don't have the cash to burn, remember you can still archive your games to save some space - so don't feel like you have to grab some extra storage from the get-go.

Currys Switch 2 stock is sold out already!
Within secon𓂃ds of me posting that Currys had some stock of not just the standard Switch 2 console, but some of its exclusive bundles too, it was gone.
Luckily for you, the UK retailer isn't the only place with Switch 2's today. Right now, retailers Very, EE, and HMV have the new handheld available online. If you're 🌺UK-based, you can also grab a Switch 2 at Argos, and depending on where you're located, there's even some click and collect options availa♉ble today too.

Get ready to finish that collection - Switch 2 amiibo are now available!
Today's la𓄧unch of the Switch 2 is exciting enough. But for those of us who love our Nintendo hardware and our ♑Nintendo collectibles, today also marks the release of the brand new Switch 2 amiibo figures!
I've been collecting amiibos since the 3DS era, and up until today, my Zelda collection was complete. But now there's four new Tears of the Kingdom-based toys-to-life collectibles to grab, and the new Street Fighter amiiboꦓs are also available from in the US, and from in the UK. Whatever set you have your eyes on, just be sure to save some space on your amiibo shelf, as there's even more new amiibos on their way.

Not a fan of Joy-Cons? That alright, as there's still plenty Pro Controller stock to go around!
The new Joy-Con 2 controllers have seen some changes with the Switch 2, but they're still not everyone's cup of tea. And that's fine, as Nintendo made sure to release a brand new Pro Controller to offer up a more ergonomic and comfortable grip for those who want it - and it's out today!
Over the weeks, I've seen huge retailers in the US and UK sell out of their Switch 2 Pro Controller stock. But I'm happy to say that there's still plenty of opportunities to grab one today on launch day. Naturally, I recommend popping into your local game shops first to see if they have any stock, if you're desperate to have one as soon as possible. But if like me, you prefer to do practically all your game shopping online, plenty of retailers have you covered.

Argos is back with more Switch 2 stock!
UK retailer Argos has some moꦍre Switch 2 stock available today, which includes both the standard console and the Mario Kart World bundle. Although it hasn't arrived yet as of typing, this is the same retailer where I got my own Switch 2, so I'm glad to see another wave of stock hit the digital shelves today!
Bette༒r yet, depending on where you're located, there's some click and co🌠llect options so you can have your Switch 2 before the day is over.

Happy Nintendo Switch 2 Day!
Can you believe the big day is finally here? F♌eels like only yesterday that the first Switch 2-centered Nintendo Direct dropped earlier this year. Now, the Switch 2 is finally a reality, and many of us across the globe are♎ already enjoying what the new handheld has to offer.
I'm st🌟ill patiently waiting for mine, while periodically peeping through my living room curtains to see if the delivery driver has arrived. If you didn't pre-order yours, and all this talk of new Nintendo hardware has you finally wanting to grab one for yourself, fortunately, there's actually a lot of options for you - even on launch day!
Just like with p𒅌re-orders, the UK is pretty busy as far as new stock is concerned. Right now, retailers EE, Very, and even HMV have limited new stock - although if you order now, you'll have to wait a few days until the Switch 2 arrives at your door. In the US, things are a little different, with retailers like Best Buy only having stock available in-store.

It's officially Nintendo Switch 2 day in the UK, and there's good news for the US as well
The Nintendo Switch 2 is now officially out in the UK, and if you're one of the lucky o🏅nes at a midnight release you'll be getting prepped with your new console right now. As a reminder, Currys is looking likely to drop today and Argos is set to go live at 6am for fresh orders ready for click and collect as well.
Meanwhile, Game💯Stop has provided an update for those in the US. If you don't manage to secure your Nintendo Switch 2 tonight, the store is looking at weekly restocks in the wake of launch day (). That means there could be more opportunities to bu𓃲y Nintendo Switch 2 just around the corner.
We're now less than two hours from launch in the UK
If you're hoping for a last minute trip out to Smyths Toys, now's the time to make the decision. We're now less than two hours from launch in the UK. Some retai🃏lers may well be getting ready to drop some midnight stock, though we know Argos is holding out until 6am at the earliest. Still, it's worth keeping an eye on Currys as the second retailer known for offering same-day click and collect.
So long folks, see you tomorrow
And that's it from us for today - thanks for following along, and we'll catch you tomorrow for🌺 launch. Are you ready? ꦆYou'd better be, because something tells me it's going to be a wild one...
It's all quiet, apart from at Very
We're still pretty quiet over here in terms of where to buy Nintendo Switch 2. Actually, the only offers💯 I've seen are from Very in the UK. Head there and you'll find a Mario Kart World cᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚonsole with Tears of the Kingdom for , the normal Switch 2, a Switch 2 Pro Controller, and SD card for , and the most expensive option - the console with Mario Kart, an official camera, and the Switch 2 Pro Controller for .
Amazon, wherefore art thou
Wondering why Amazon is taking so long to get in on the pre-order party? Despite being the world's biggest reta♏iler, it hasn't been too hot on Nintendo-related items like this recently. With that in mind, I doubt we'll be getting any listings before launch. That means you'll neeﷺd to move fast tomorrow to secure a copy, as everyone else will be doing the same thing.
Heads up, UK Switchers
Well, will you look at that? A few extra offers are available via Very if you don't fancy grabbing the mega bundle with the camera and Pro Controller. To be precise,🌺 you can get the Mario Kart World console with Tears of the Kingdom for . There's also the standard Switch 2 (without Mario Kart), Pro Controller, and SD card for . Personally I'd hit the Tears of the Kingdom offer as quick as possible, because that's a great combination that'll set you up nicely for launch. Proverbially speaking; it won't arrive until June 13, but still.
So, how are you feeling about Switch 2?
Hey, you. Yeah, you - I just wanted to check in and see how you're feeling about the Switch 2 now that release day is very nearly here. Are you more excited about the🍬 console than ever? Getting second th⛎oughts? Despairing of ever finding a reasonably-priced pre-order? (I really relate to that last one.) Sound off in the comments, and let's get a discussion going. If you manage to grab a system, let us know!
Let's check in, shall we?
OK, so what's the current situation as it stands? The vast majority of retailers are holding fire until tomorrow (launch day) with extra stock, and that's certainly the case in the USA. The UK has a single glimmer of hope forꦉ anyone hoping to secure a pre-order, though; a bundle with the Mario Kart World console combo, the official camera, and new Switch 2 Pro Controller is available for . Yes,𓆏 that's a bitter pill to swallow in terms of price - it's eye-watering. However, there literally isn't a better option right now that I can find.
Everything you need to know about GameStop's midnight launch
GameStop is starting the party a little earlier than other retailers, with some of its stores kicking off as early as 3pm today. Head in and pay for your Nintendo Switch 2 to 🦄receive a numbered receipt that will allow you into the midnight launch itself.
Be prepared to wait still, though. If you've walked into a GameStop store and paid ꦇfor a console on the spot you'll still have to hang around until midnight (or you can return within 48 hours). Just be sure to back up your original Switch if you're making the most of a trade-in, and bring photo ID with you.
Top Tip: Confirm maximum purchase amounts with your local store
If you're heading down to Best Buy for a midnight drop today, you'll want to make sure you know the maximum allocation per customer for your local store. If retailers are sticking to the website's 'one per person' rule, you'll have a much easier time of working out whether the line is worth y𝄹our time. A store could put up a sign saying they have 100 in stock, in which case you'd usually count back 100 on the queue to make sure you're in with a shot. If they're allowing more than one per customer, though, you'll need to chance it a little more.
PSA: Best Buy's Summer Gaming Events may have more Nintendo Switch 2 stock
Best Buy is runni📖ng gaming events in select store parking lots over the course of June, with som꧟e sites set to offer Nintendo Switch 2 stock at the same time. These events run through the GameTruck theater, hitting on Saturdays June 7, June 14, and June 21.
You'll find the full roster of participating stores꧅ on
EE will have more Nintendo Switch 2 consoles on launch day
EE has now confirmed that it will be stocking more Nintendo Switch 2 handhelds on launch day, with standalone stock up for grabs. There are also a number of bundles available for existing EE mobile monthly customers, ranging from the Mario Kart World bundle by itself through to Ca♐mera and Joy-Con packages.
If you're more interested in picking up your handheld in person, the 🧜following🌠 stores will have Nintendo Switch 2 stock ready to buy on June 5:
- Studio, Westfield White City
- Westfield Stratford
- Manchester New Street
- Cardiff Queen Street
- Gateshead
Everything you need to know about Best Buy's midnight launch event
Best⛄ Buy is running midnight launch events across the country tonight, with stores opening at 12.01am ET. That's been translated to 11.01pm CT, 10.01pm MT, and 9.01pm PT, with stores opening for two hours.
During that time, pre-orders will be available to pick up if you have selected that location and collection when making your order. You can find out more about where your own pre-order is heading on y𓄧our 💖Best Buy account or on fulfillment emails.
There will be a supply of Nintendo Switch 2 handhelds for walk-i🔯n customers, but you'll need to line up. Stores will operate two queues tonight; one for those looking to collect pre-orders and those hoping to buy the🏅 system.
Everything you need to know about Smyths Toys midnight launch
You'll be able to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 from Smyths Toys stores at midnight tonight, with the Boucher Road, Glasgow, Stockport, Romford, and Hull locations all opening their doors at 11pm for a pre-release party with free😼 goodies for the first 100 in line.
There will ♏also be a limit🔴ed supply of Nintendo Switch 2 consoles up for grabs from all stores, even those not listed above for the launch party.
Those who have already pre-ordered can collec🌊t their devices from 12.01a꧙m (remember to bring photo ID).
Believe it or not, there are still pre-orders up for grabs
Very still has Nintendo Switch 2 bundles on the shelv🔥es right now - t💮hough there's a major caveat to these last-minute pre-orders.
This Mario Ka𝔉rt World (and a camera and Pro Controller) bundle is still on the shelves for £555, but it won't be delivered until Friday 13th June. That's over a week to wait until the handheld is safely in your possession. With Argos, Smyths Toys, and Currys tipped to have Nintendo Switch 2 stock ready to buy on launch day tomorrow, this one's a roll of the dice.

Hope you got a good night's sleep!
Today's the day for anyone planning on buying a Nintendo Switch 2 from a midnight release. 𒀰Best Buy and GameStop are opening late tonight for their own launch events in the US, meanwhile Smyths Toys is your go-to in the UK.
Currys is out of Nintendo Switch 2 stock
Currys has just removed the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundles from its site, which means we're down to just Very now. With two days to go before release, things are getting tight - ev🎶en if we have been enjoying bountiful pre-order stock in the UK so far.
Walmart will have the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock in-store and online from release day
Walmart has now confi❀rmed to us that it will restock the Nintendo Switch 2 in its physical stores and online from release day, though there's no mention of a midnight launch here. Those in Pacific and Mountain-time🦹 can shop from 9pm PDT or 10pm MDT via Walmart's Supercenter stores.
Where to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Charging Grip
The Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Charging Grip does much more than keep your controllers juiced up. This generation also brings mappable back buttons to the device. That's a major b꧒enefit, as anyone who's played with their own custom controls will tell you.
Unfortunately, a lot of retailers are keeping this one as 'coming soon' in the US - the closest I've seen to an actual pre-order is aꦓt My Nintendo, which is keeping its stock behind an email invite. You can, however, grab it at Amazon UK - though delivery is currently set for June 7.

Get your games looking as good as possible on day one
If you're hoping to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 direct at midnight on Thursday, you'll want to make sure your games are🐈 running at their full pot❀ential straight away. Nintendo has now unveiled its full list of game updates ready for launch day - these aren't the paid upgrades to a full Switch 2 Edition. Rather, these are free boosts for existing games that give them a little more breathing room when running on the new handheld.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:ꦇThe following games are covered so far:
- Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
- The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
- Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
- Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics
- ARMS
- Super Mario Odyssey
- Big Brain Academy: Brain vs Brain
- The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
- Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
- Game Builder Garade
- New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
How long will the Mario Kart World bundle last?
The Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle represents vastly better value than the handheld by itself - you're saving cash on one of the most expensive games to hit the shelves in the last few years🥀. The sad part is it is, and was always, a limited time offer.
The Mario Kart World bundle won't last forever, then, but how long do we have? Official messaging states that the bundle will be available un🥀til Fall 2025. It's likely the🐼 brand will follow up with another package deal, though with so much confusion around pricing at the moment we don't know whether the next bundle will offer any cash off any games.
Where to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera
The Nintendo Switch 2 Camera is in a similar boat to the Pro Controller. ๊The retailers I can see aren't shipping ready for launch day any more (at least it's no longer guaranteed), but Best Buy is running in-store pickups on release day. Meanwhile, in the UK, Very is still holding strong with June 5 delivery.

I've had a scout around to see if there's anyone still shipping the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller for launch day and I have good and bad news. The good news is Best Buy is still taking orders for pickup on release day, so you can order and head into your local store to collect your gamepad on Thursday. The𝓀 bad news is there are no June 5 delivery options out there in the US. The closest I've seen is Target,ജ which states it can deliver 'on or shortly after' release.

In the UK, you're best off heading to Very. I'm still seeing the Switch 2 Pro Controller available for launch day delivery here, though that can't last for 𝔍much longer.

Amazon UK is feeling the strain as well
A number of games and accessories are still available at Amazon UK, but like in the US those delivery dates are being shunted ꩵb🎶ack. You can grab the Pro Controller and Joy-Con 2, but you'll be waiting until June 7 for Prime delivery on most gadgets.
Speaking of games...
Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 launch titles are still going st📖rong, though some of Walmart's supplies are being pushed back to June 7 for shipping. Best Buy has rescinded shipping on some of its titles, though pickup is still available depending on your local store. GameStop's pre-orders are set to ship in 1-3 business days (and I'd be inclined to believe real-world timings will put us towards the end of that range). Even Amazon, with its smaller selection of third party releases, is delaying things to June 6.
If you're after a physical collection, you'll want to 𝕴move fast to avoid further d❀elays.
Can you buy games at the midnight launch?
If you're planning on heading down to Best Buy or GameStop for their midnight launches, you might be wondering if you can buy Nintendo Switch 2 games alongside your new handheld. No retailers have announced whether or not games and accessories will also be on sale with the Nintendo Switch 2 system at midnight, and based on previous launches it's likely 🍷y🍷our only focus is going to be on getting the handheld itself.
Still, I would be surprised if there weren't a few physical games and acc﷽essories out on the shelves ready to be swept up in t𒁏he excitement.
Newegg might have Nintendo Switch 2 stock on day one
Newegg has been interesting to watch over the last month. The site listed the Nintendo Switch 2 fairly early in the pre-order process, but hasn't dropped any stock yet.🔥 This is a PC-focused retailer so I'm not holding out for a massive supply. However, that landing page has been looking like a holding spot for the handheld's launch day for some time.
This is one to watch🎀, even if day one stock is unlikely to break any floodgates.
Walmart cancelled your pre-order? Check your inbox
Walmart is rꦇeportedly allowing those who previously pre-ordered the Nintendo Switch 2 to make anoth▨er order after the store cancelled a whole bunch of them earlier this week.
Some users are reporting an email that allows them to re-order their handheld within 24 hours oꦓf receipt. If you've recently had your order canned,🍎 it's well worth checking through your inbox and spam filters for a second chance.
Nintendo's prepping for the worst
Nintendo might be trying to tell us something with the signs it's just shipped to retailers in the US. A user on the Nintendo Switch 2 subreddit has poste🐷d their most recent Nintendo shipment, and it's a little larger than the Mario Kart World bundle box we've been use🐻d to seeing.
Stores are being shipped 'ꩵout 💃of stock' signs for the Nintendo Switch 2 ahead of launch on Thursday, with the threat of limited availability looming large.

Will Amazon US get Nintendo Switch 2 stock on launch day?
If you were hoping to buy Nintendo Switch 2 from Amazon, you're out of luck. The retailer hasn't stocked any first-party Nintendo gadgets for some time now, and has been completely out of the pre-order race in the US as well. That means I'm not hopeful the store will be receiving day one stock, however some could become avai♎lable via third party sellers.
Of course, that's not the case for the UK. Nintendo's beef with Bezos seems to on🅺ly extend to Amazon's US store - across the pond, shoppers have enjoyed regular Switch 2 restocks from the online giant and more stock is expected around launcꦕh. Just be prepared to wait a little for delivery.
Argos is going to be big on Thursday
I've been watching Argos closely over the last few weeks, after it kicked off the pre-order game with a massive wave of stock that seemed endless. Since that first run ran out of steam, though, the🌠 retailer has been silent.
Now we know that Argos will be running Nintendo Switch 2 restocks from 6am on Thursday June 5, with same-day click and collect and delivery up for grabs. The store is built around its click and collect capabilities, and its silence in the last month could meꦏan it's been stockpiling units ready for a big launch day.
Keep a close eye on Walmart
Walmart is one of the few brick and mortar stores in the US to not have announce🤪d a midnight launch event. However, its Nintendo Switch 2 listing pages still give me plenty 💎of hope for a June 5 restock.
The site has the handheld as 'coming soon' with its release dཧate listed, and considering we haven't seen too many new drops here over the last few weeks it could well have been stockpiling for a larger on⛎line wave this week.
Very's bundles won't arrive until June 13
Very has two Nintendo Switch 2 bundles still on the shelves right now, but they're both suffering from delayed delivery dates. That timeline has been shifted back as we've got closer to launch day and is currently up to Friday June 13. If you can wait, and spend a little extra on accessories, it may well be worth diving in here - we don't🅠 know how much further those delays will extend.

How to check your local Best Buy stores
Best Buy has been vocal about its launch day availability for a while now, so hopefully there's a sturdy supply of stock ready and waiting for us on the morning on June 5. The site has launched a store checker on its dedicated landing pag♋e, so you can sไee whether you'll be able to buy Nintendo Switch 2 at a midnight opening near you.
Head to and select your state and location to𒆙 see if your closest stores are participating in the launch day ꦯevent.
