The Nintendo Switch 2 remains challenging to purchase as stock quickly sells out across major retailers.
Walmart briefly had the Switch 2 available at the standard price of $449, but the consoles sold out rapidly. The listing now redirects to third-party sellers charging up to $899, a price far above the recommended retail price. Buyers are advised to avoid resellers and wait for official restocks.
Walmart has been a reliable source for restocks, and further inventory is expected soon. Refreshing the listing occasionally may help catch a surprise drop.
In the UK, EE offers the Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle tied to a 24-month contract with monthly payments, resulting in a higher total cost compared to buying the console and service separately. Other UK retailers are expected to receive stock at regular prices soon.
Regarding accessories, the Switch 2 Pro Controller has received positive reviews for its comfort and responsiveness, making it the preferred choice for serious gamers, especially when playing on the TV.
In software news, Street Fighter 6 for Switch 2 is highlighted for its engaging gameplay, with the Pro Controller enhancing the fighting experience. The Year 1-2 Fighters Edition adds several new characters, expanding the roster.
A detailed Nintendo Switch 2 review awarded the console Editor’s Choice status, praising its larger 7.9-inch display and improved performance, though noting limited launch game options and battery life as drawbacks.
Buyers are strongly encouraged to avoid inflated prices from scalpers. Stock shortages are expected to ease as Nintendo replenishes supply. Regular updates on availability will continue to help consumers find the console at fair prices.
