Still Want a Nintendo Switch 2? Best Buy Will Have Them In Stores on July 1

If you’re tired of trying to buy Nintendo’s Switch 2 from online retailers, Best Buy plans on selling the console in-store at select locations tomorrow, July 1.

The company confirmed the sale to PCMag after Best Buy’s website quietly announced it. However, not every store will have the Switch 2; check Best Buy’s site for your local store. Each participating store will open at their regular times, Best Buy’s spokesperson says. No midnight launch this time.

Nintendo’s Switch 2 has been hard to find in stock since its June 5 launch, especially online. Currently, the websites for Target, Walmart, and Best Buy show the console sold out in the US.

As a result, gamers have had to rely on online inventory checkers or visits to their local retailers in the hopes they have Switch 2s in stock. Meanwhile, scalpers on eBay are trying to resell their own Switch 2 units for over $600. (The Switch 2 retails for $449.99.)

Best Buy warns it’ll only have “limited quantities” available. So if you’re really desperate, consider getting up early or camping out at the participating stores to nab the Switch 2. The console is also being sold as a bundle with Mario Kart World for $499.

If you’re hoping Amazon will offer the Switch 2, don’t count on it. Bloomberg reports that Nintendo has pulled its products from the site because Amazon was allegedly allowing third-party merchants to sell Switch games that had been purchased at lower prices in South Asia.
