Where to buy Nintendo's Switch 2 games console
It's been a long wait for Nintendo fans, but here are the best places to pick up a Switch 2 in the US and the UK

The Nintendo Switch 2 is out, and if you wanted to have one in your hands right now, then hopefully you got your pre-order in early. If you didn't manage to secure a pre-order back in April with your preferred retailer, you could be out of luck, as this is one very popular game console that is selling out quickly now that it's released.
The Switch 2 is bigger and better than the original Switch in a few ways. Not only is it physically larger than the original Switch, with bigger Joy-Cons, but it also has a new dock and redesigned kickstand. You might also want to look at where you can buy a microSD Express memory card for extra storage, if the 256GB internal storage of the Switch 2 is inadequate for installing all your favorite games.
The Nintendo Switch 2 features a 7.9-inch screen and measures 13.9 mm thick. Its display has a 1080p resolution, up from the original Switch's 720p. When combined with the dock, the Switch 2 has the potential to play compatible games up to 4K. Without the dock, the Switch 2's LCD screen can go up to 120 frames per second, and even have HDR, depending on the software.
You can currently pick up the console separately or in bundle deals that include the Mario Kart game or bundled peripherals. Check back regularly as we update this page with up-to-date pricing and stock alerts.

Yeah, comments on USA gaming websites seem to be similar, although some of the big retailers have sold out. Either Nintendo oversupplied to meet demand or the Switch 2 isn't selling as well as it should. Part of the problem is the high asking price with no true killer games besides Mario Kart World. There's also all the stuff that you need to buy in addition to the console for a good experience. The PS5 Pro is a similar example.WonkoTheSaneUK said:Here in the UK, I walked past an entire pallet of them at my local Costco yesterday.
I also looked at Ebay and prices are only a couple hundred more over MSRP. I would have expected double MSRP.
I did buy a Switch 2 and only because I have the money. I also love Ninty 1st party games and i'm an old school gamer going way back into the late 80's. I also buy the latest consoles. I think that's who will buy these at first until the price drops and that may not happen if tariffs make the price go higher and impact future sales.
