Nintendo Switch 2 continues to be a tricky console to buy. Retailers are sold out and the sporadic restocks are being snapped up in minutes when they appear.

The hybrid console launched earlier this month (on June 5) and hasn't been consistently available since then. However, more restocks are on the way, and Walmart has confirmed it will restock Switch 2 on Wednesday (June 25).

In the U.K., supply levels have been significantly better, with more frequent Switch 2 restocks, some of which have lasted for hours, if not multiple days. U.K. gamers shouldn't have much trouble buying a Switch this week.

The Nintendo Switch 2 costs $449 / £395 standalone or $499 / £429 bundled with a copy of the popular launch game, Mario Kart World. In this live blog, we'll help you secure a console at base price rather than having to turn to a reseller charging an eye-watering markup (we've seen some ask for $700+).

Here at Tom's Guide, we've got a team of restock experts who have been helping readers purchase hard-to-find tech items for more than five years. So, if you've got a Switch 2 on your shopping list, stick with us and we'll bring you the latest updates and all the retailer links you need to secure yours ASAP.

Walmart has confirmed it will be restocking Nintendo Switch 2 on Wednesday, June 25. The restock event will initially be exclusive to Walmart Plus members, starting at 9 p.m. ET, before opening up to everyone at 10 p.m. ET. Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Walmart

Best Buy last restocked the Switch 2 on June 11. The electronics retailer has been another regular source of Switch 2 stock, but it's currently sold out. Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Best Buy

Target last restocked the Switch 2 on Friday, June 6. This could mean the next drop is a little ways off as the retailer may need some time to build up its inventory again. Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Target

GameStop is currently sold out of Switch 2 consoles. However, as a specialist video game retailer, we're expecting more stock to arrive shortly, so watch this space. Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ GameStop

After being absent from the Switch 2 pre-order phase, Amazon U.S. launched a Nintendo Switch 2 listing page last week. But in a very strange move, it's now taken it down again, so at present there are no signs of Switch 2 stock at Amazon U.S. Over in the U.K., the mega retailer has been stocking Switch 2 for weeks and restocked often.

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. Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Newegg

Sam's Club has a listing page for the Nintendo Switch 2, which currently advises the console is "coming soon." This could be an indication that the retailer is planning to take Switch 2 orders in the near future, so be sure to watch this space.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller is practically guaranteed to be the most in-demand Switch 2 accessory, and it packs a suitable upgrade over its predecessor adding a headphone jack, the new "C" button, and customizable back buttons. Additional retailers: Best Buy | GameStop

Need an extra set of Joy-Con 2 controllers for multiplayer, or just because it's always nice to have a spare? You can pick up an additional set of Joy-Con 2 at various retailers for $94. Additional retailers: Best Buy | GameStop

One of Switch 2's new features is GameChat, and to get the most out of this new addition you'll need a Nintendo Switch 2 Camera to video chat with your friends online. Additional retailers: Best Buy | GameStop

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.Additional retailers: Best Buy

You don't need the Switch Joy-Con 2 Wheel to enjoy games like Mario Kart World, but it'll sure make the experience much more fun. You can get a set of two for just $24. Additional retailers: Best Buy | GameStop

It's not the most exciting Switch 2 accessory, but should you need a spare AC adapter for your Switch to you can get one for $34. It connects directly to the Switch 2 Switch 2 dock.Additional retailers: Best Buy | GameStop

Take your Switch 2 on the road with the official Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case. It's big enough so you can carry the Switch 2, Nintendo Switch 2 dock, Joy-Con 2 controllers, various cables, and up to six game cards.Additional retailers: Best Buy | GameStop

The Switch 2 comes with an increased storage capacity of up to 2TB. However, the Switch 2 is only compatible with microSD Express cards, which means you'll need new storage cards for your console. Additional retailers: Best Buy | GameStop

Mario Kart World will launch on the same day as the Switch 2. This new entry will allow up to 24 drivers to take part in each race, and you'll be able to drive anywhere on the track. Nintendo also said gamers can expect new power-ups.Additional retailers: Best Buy | GameStop| Walmart

Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 is the definitive way to enjoy CDPR's critically acclaimed first-person open-world RPG on the go. You play a mercenary named V, completing missions in the dark city of the future, Night City, though your main aim is surviving the chaos that surrounds you. This Ultimate Edition also includes the essential Phantom Liberty DLC expansion, which opens up a new area of the map, the ruthless Dogtown. Additional retailers: Best Buy | GameStop

Donkey Kong Bananza will launch on July 17 and allow DK to smash his way through (and down into) the surrounding terrain. He can punch his way through mountains or head underground in search of collectibles. It's hands-down one of the Switch 2's biggest titles. Additional retailers: Best Buy | GameStop| Walmart

Street Fighter 6 1-2 Fighters Edition features 26 characters and 20 stages. You'll fight your way to the top with all-new content and game modes exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2, like Local Wireless One-on-One and Avatar Matches.Additional retailers: GameStop | Walmart

An enhanced edition of Kirby and the Forgotten Land will make its way to the Switch 2. It'll feature everything we loved about the original as well as some improvements like better graphical fidelity, HDR support, and frame rate improvements. The ever-adorable Kirby gets a bump from 30fps to 60fps and you can enjoy 1080p gameplay in handheld mode or 1440p when docked.Additional retailers: GameStop | Walmart

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is being ported over to the Switch 2. It promises improved visuals and performance. It also brings support for Zelda Notes, a game-specific service found in the Nintendo Switch app that's exclusive to the Switch 2. It brings voice-assisted navigation, voice memories, and item sharing. Additional retailers: GameStop| Walmart

The original Switch's definitive launch game has returned for the Switch 2, and now it's been enhanced for Nintendo's new hardware. It's the masterpiece you (probably) know, but it looks and runs better than ever. If you've never played Breath of the Wild, there really isn't a better time to jump into Hyrule than via this Switch 2 Edition.Additional retailers: Best Buy

I'm a Senior Entertainment Editor at Tom's Guide with five years of experience tracking restocks on hard-to-buy items from PS5 and Xbox Series X to the ultra-rare PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection. Over the years, I've learned how to play (and win) the restock game, and I'm using all this expertise to help you pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 this week.

I'm an Editor in Chief at Tom's guide with over a decade's experience in consumer tech journalism. I was there in 2017 when Nintendo launched the first Switch and I've been following the rise of Nintendo's console ever since. Now, with the sequel system out in the wild, I'm here to help you secure yours wherever you're based.

It's about 5:30pm here in New York and I'm still seeing limited Switch 2 restock in select Target stores. Remember, this is an in-store only drop at select stores, so it's likely to run out soon.

Right now I'm seeing a healthy amount of stock at within a 50-mile radius with Switch 2 consoles in Hell's Kitchen, Flatbush, LIC, and even across the Hudson in parts of NJ like Kearny and Edgewater. Just click the "show in-stock stores" button to see your nearest stock with stock.

This week is the Best Buy Member Deal Days Sale. Think of it as Best Buy's Prime Day with hundreds of deals exclusively for My Best Buy members. (The sale is for paying members only and annual prices start at $49/year).

Although Best Buy just restocked the Switch 2 earlier today, I wouldn't be surprised if they restock again on Wednesday during Walmart's confirmed Switch 2 restock. So if you didn't get stock earlier today, you may have a few more options later this week.

Well, it's looking like today is a good day for Switch 2 restocks. Hot on the heels of this afternoon's Best Buy drop, Target has Switch 2 consoles available in select stores. It doesn't look like they're available for shipping, but I would definitely recommend you check your locat store via the Target store locator.

Walmart has confirmed it will be restocking Nintendo Switch 2 on Wednesday, June 25. The restock event will initially be exclusive to Walmart Plus members, starting at 9 p.m. ET, before opening up to everyone at 10 p.m. ET. Mario Kart Bundle: $499 @ Walmart

Even if you missed out on today's brief Best Buy restock, you'll have another chance this Wednesday when Walmart launches its own restock. Note that you'll have to be a Walmart Plus member to get dibs an hour before everyone else.

I just did a stock sweep of all the major US retailers selling the Switch 2 and came up empty. Things got exciting during the Best Buy restock, but it now seems we're back to business as usual with Switch 2 restocks, or the lack of them. That said, another retailer might randomly have stock again, so there's still hope!

You don't need the Switch Joy-Con 2 Wheel to enjoy games like Mario Kart World, but it'll sure make the experience much more fun. You can get a set of two for just $24. Additional retailers: Best Buy | GameStop

If you were lucky enough to get a Switch 2 during Best Buy's restock, why not get a peripheral that's perfect for Mario Kart World? To that end, we recommend the Switch Joy-Con 2 Wheel.

It looks like the party is indeed over, as another check of Best Buy shows no restocks at the moment. I'll keep checking the retailer and other vendors for more stock, so don't lose hope!

Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle @ Best Buy (SOLD OUT)

Looks like Best Buy has just run out of the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle. That's a bummer for sure, but at least the retail giant had systems available for over two hours... which is something we haven't seen since Nintendo's system launched. I'm going to keep checking in on restocks, but it appears the party might be over (for now).

Guess what? Best Buy still has Switch 2 in stock! It's been almost two hours, so I'm shocked that stock hasn't completely sold out like usual. But as I said in the previous post, it might be because it appears you can only get this system in a store, even if you order online. While having to drive (or take a train) to a Best Buy might be annoying, at least you'll have a Switch 2!

Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle @ Best Buy

One thing I want to note about this Best Buy Switch 2 restock is that it might require you to pick up your system at the store. For instance, one of my colleagues purchased one, but Best Buy isn't shipping it to his home. It's also not available to ship to my location, which is roughly in the same Queens, NY neighborhood as my colleague. Perhaps this is why stock is still available.

Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle @ Best Buy

You can still get a Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle at Best Buy, so click the link down below to snatch one up before the retailer runs out!

Hey, all! Tony Polanco here to take over this Switch 2 restock blog for the next few hours!

Right now, the big story is the Best Buy restock, which is still going strong! I'm used to jumping on this live blog to discuss how there's no Switch 2 units available anywhere, so this is certainly a nice change of pace! Check the link below to snag the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle. Hurry up because we don't know how long restocks will last!

Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle @ Best Buy

It has officially exceeded an hour since Switch 2 consoles became available at Best Buy, which I must admit is a lot longer than I would have expected.

I'm unsure whether the demand isn't as high as we initially thought, or if Best Buy managed to secure an extensive stock of bundles. Either way, they're still available as of this post, so hit the link below if you want to pick one up.

While it's been going for more than 45 minutes, Best Buy is still showing bundles in stock!

I'm legitimately shocked how long this restock has lasted, but as of 12:25 p.m. ET, Best Buy is still letting you click the "Add to cart" button on the Switch 2 with Mario Kart bundle.

Yes, it's been available for a while, but you don't want to wait, as they could (and will) sell out at any time. If the button is active for you and you've been looking to get a console, take advantage of it while you still can.

If you were hoping to get a Switch 2 without Mario Kart World, this isn't the restock for you. However, if you're willing to spend an extra $50 to get the console and the game, Best Buy still lists the bundle as In Stock.

At 12:10 p.m. ET, I added a Switch 2 to my cart and received a waiting in line page that told me not to refresh or leave the page. From there, it took me to a sign-in page where I had to do a one-time code.

From there, it got me to the checkout page, where I was able to get a console. Your mileage may vary, but on my end, it still seems to be working.

The Mario Kart bundle is still showing as in stock for me as of 12:04 p.m. ET, but you'd better go quickly if you're interested in getting one, as we don't expect it to last.

The Best Buy restock is live and is expected to sell out extremely quickly. If you're interested in getting a console, hit the links that follow and make it happen (it looks like only the bundle with Mario Kart is in stock):

Best Buy is expected to restock the Switch 2 today at around noon ET, according to Jake Randall on X.

Be sure to log in to your Best Buy account and save your information to speed up the process.

We'll keep refreshing the Best Buy website and will post as soon as the restock starts.

I've gone through every U.S. retailer that carries Switch 2 (see below for links if you want to check yourself), and unfortunately, none have Switch 2 consoles in stock. While we know Walmart is slated to offer consoles on June 25 (with Walmart+ members getting access an hour early), it seems other retailers aren't getting more consoles.

We'll keep an eye out for any restocks or announcements of new consoles, but for now, it seems everything is quiet.

There's no luck with Switch 2 restocks right now, but you may want to look at all the accessories that will make gaming on Nintendo's latest console all the more fun. And that includes the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera.

It's not for everyone, and it only has limited game support, but we noted in our Nintendo Switch 2 Camera review that it's a relatively affordable webcam with decent image quality to use in games like Mario Kart World. It just adds an extra layer of fun with friends when playing online.

The camera is available at all retailers, so if you're looking to play with pals across borders, the Switch 2 Camera is a good shout.

This week, Walmart is looking to be your best chance to grab a Switch 2, whether that be just the console or the Mario Kart World bundle. It's set to be in stock at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on Wednesday, June 25th, but only Walmart+ subscribers will get early access to pick one up.

Walmart+ is a paid subscription service ($98 for its annual plan), but you can get a 30-day free trial if you haven't signed up before. Start that off and you'll be on your way to be the first (likely of many) to swipe a Switch 2 once it's available at Walmart.

While Switch 2 restocks haven't been kind to the U.S. or U.K. currently, there's still sure to be more drops throughout the week, and we'll let you know once they finally arrive.

If you're a member, there appears to be Nintendo Switch 2 stock over at BJ's. The console has been in and out of stock over the past few weeks at the retailer, and it's still limited to "1 per member."

There are no other Switch 2 consoles in stock at other retailers at the moment, so this is a good opportunity to grab one for BJ's members!

Finding stock in the U.S. and U.K. is proving difficult at the moment, but there are still two opportunities to grab a Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.K. — but they come with a catch.

First, there's a Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle that comes with a 12-month membership to Nintendo Switch Online over at EE. However, this is a monthly contract, meaning it's £22 per month over 24 months. At least you'll only have to pay £20 upfront.

There's also a Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle at The Game Collection with a bunch of add-ons, including Cyberpunk 2077, the Switch 2 Camera, a 256GB SanDisk MicroSD card and a travel case. This will set you back £609, so a lot more than your regular Switch 2 order, but you do get a few nice extras.

Otherwise, we'll be keeping an eye out for more Switch 2 restocks!

Getting hold of a Switch 2 has been really tough the last few weeks — but Walmart is offering us a ray of hope this week.

The retailer has confirmed to The Shortcut that it will be getting a restock of both the Switch 2 and the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle later this week. The system will be in stock from 9pm ET / 6pm PT on Wednesday, June 25th.

Unfortunately, you'll need to be a Walmart+ subscriber to get early access. So if you haven't signed up yet, now's your chance.

If you live in the U.K., then you've probably found it a lot easier to get your hands on a Switch 2 console. Retailers across the pond have seemingly had a steady flow of consoles coming through — but right now it seems very quiet out there.

Neither Amazon nor Argos in the U.K. currently have any stock left and other retailers like Very.co.uk and Game.co.uk are also coming up empty.

The story of the Switch 2 so far has been of stock just trickling through some of the retailers and, sadly it looks like little has changed as we start the week.

It's Jeff managing the blog at the moment and I've started out by checking through all the retailers on our list. There's nothing so far that I can see in any of the big outlets so we'll just have to sit tight for now.

Walmart did confirm last week that it'll get a new shipment in starting at 9 pm Eastern/6 pm Pacific on Wednesday (June 25). Keep in mind that you do need to be a Walmart+ member to purchase the console or the Mario Kart World bundle.

Here's all the links to the retailers again, so you can have a look at your own leisure. Don't worry though, we'll keep checking through as the week goes on.

Welcome! It's the start of a new week, and that's means it's time to get down to the business of Nintendo Switch 2 restock tracking. We've got eyes on all major retailers in the U.S. and U.K., and we'll bring you the latest updates throughout the week.
