Nintendo Switch 2 launch week is here. If you secured a preorder for the Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle or standalone console at a major retailer, you probably already know when you'll be able to start playing. But if you weren't able to secure a preorder, there's still a chance you'll be able to buy the Switch 2 on or around the console's June 5 release date.

Will Switch 2 preorders open again?

Nintendo Switch 2 preorders have largely been sold out since April 24, the day preorders started at major retailers. The Nintendo Store opened preorders on May 8 on an invite-only basis--you can still register your interest, but you will have an unknown wait time. We've only seen Switch 2 preorder restocks at Walmart; this happened on multiple occasions, including the weekend after preorders opened and this past Friday.

So, if preorders opened again, Walmart seems like the most likely candidate. The retailer is using some interesting phrasing on its Switch 2 store page. Walmart previously vowed to deliver Switch 2 preorders by 9 AM local time on launch day. That remains the plan--as long as you preorder by 8 AM ET on June 4. With that in mind, it seems possible Walmart will open preorders again after the launch delivery guarantee expires.

In any case, we know the Switch 2 will be available at select retailers both in-store and online on June 5 and in the ensuing days after launch. Let's take a look at Nintendo Switch 2 launch plans at retailers who are confirmed to have Switch 2 consoles starting June 5.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at Walmart

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at Walmart

Launch event in stores?

Walmart is not advertising a midnight launch for the Nintendo Switch 2, so we'd recommend contacting locations in your area to see what each store's plans and policies are for launch day. Walmart no longer has 24-hour locations, but locations open as early as 6 AM, and we'd suspect lines will begin to form long before then.

Walmart's Switch 2 stock situation is a bit murky at the moment, because some customers have reported preorders being canceled in recent days. The retailer cited a system glitch as the reason why some orders were processed beyond the number of allocated units.

Walmart sold out of most first-party accessories weeks ago, which is somewhat bizarre because Target, Best Buy, and GameStop still have most accessories in stock. We suspect Walmart is holding back some accessory stock for launch.

Online restock:

Though the retailer hasn't directly confirmed console restocks on June 5, the listings for the Mario Kart World Bundle and standalone console align with how the retailer typically handles highly anticipated product drops. Both pages say "Coming soon! Release date: 06/05/2025" in a blue box. This text box, historically, is used for events like Black Friday and Walmart+ sales, so we would be surprised if Walmart doesn't have units available to buy online on launch day.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at Best Buy

Nintendo Switch 2 launch at Best Buy

Midnight launch on June 5 at 12:01 AM ET:

Best Buy is hosting a midnight launch at 12:01 AM ET on June 5. You can use the dropdown menu on the store page to see if your local Best Buy store is participating. Some customers who attend the midnight launch will receive a free commemorative Nintendo coin; the coin has the Switch 2 logo on one side and the Best Buy logo on the other side.

Online restock:

It also appears that Best Buy will restock the console online at launch. Best Buy's store pages for both the bundle and standalone console utilize the "Coming Soon" grayed-out button and "High Demand Product" disclaimers. A Best Buy account will be required to purchase the console.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at Target

Nintendo Switch 2 launch at Target

Launch event on June 5 from 8 AM to 4 PM:

Target is hosting Switch 2 launch events at stores around the country on June 5 from 8 AM to 4 PM. Along with the chance to buy the Switch 2, Target promises "ultra-fun giveaways." If you live in the Orlando, Florida area, the Millenia Target store will have the largest launch event at Target, as it will features games, prizes, Nintendo merch, and giveaways. Target's Bull Terrier mascot Bullseye will also be in attendance, but it's unclear if it will be a real dog or an employee dressed in a dog suit.

Online restock on June 6:

Target has confirmed it will restock the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle on Friday, June 6, so if you strike out at one of the launch-day events, you'll have another chance to snag a console the following day.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at GameStop

Nintendo Switch 2 launch at GameStop

Midnight launch starts at 3 PM local time on June 4:

Select GameStop locations will be hosting a midnight launch for the Nintendo Switch 2. The event starts at 3 PM local time on June 4. Orders can be picked up at 9 PM PT (June 4) / 12 AM ET (June 5). Some store locations will be giving away one free can of Red Bull to each customer, which is an odd giveaway. The humorous part here is that GameStop is locking the Red Bull giveaway behind its Pro membership, a move typically reserved for highly anticipated products.

Online restock:

It's unclear if GameStop will restock the Switch 2 online, but we wouldn't be surprised if launch restocks are only for Pro members.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch: More Retailers

Several other national retail chains have confirmed the Switch 2 will be available to purchase on June 5.

Sam's Club: The Walmart-owned warehouse club will have the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle on June 5. It will only be available to Sam's Club members. New members can get an annual Sam's Club membership for $25 (was $50).

Costco: Costco will have the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart Bundle with a 12-month Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership on June 5. It will only be available for Costco members. The retailer will also have the Switch 2 Pro Controller on launch day.

Staples: On occasion, the office supplies retailer also sells video game consoles and games. This is one such occasion. The Switch 2 will be available to purchase at select Staples stores on June 5.

Nintendo Switch 2 on Amazon? That's a reseller.

Amazon US does not carry first-party Nintendo gaming products.

Amazon US hasn't sold first-party Nintendo video game products for about a year at this point, which is why no one has preordered the Switch 2 from Amazon US. Note: Amazon still carries Nintendo gaming products, including the Switch 2, in other regions such as the UK.

However, it's possible, and perhaps even likely, that Nintendo Switch 2 console listings will pop up on Amazon starting June 5. Unless Nintendo and Amazon change course--the details surrounding the absence of Nintendo from Amazon are murky--those store pages will be created by third-party resellers looking to turn a profit. Pay close attention to the "Ships from" and "Sold by" lines below the "Buy Now" button. If you are willing to spend extra on the Switch 2 by purchasing from a reseller, you'll want to verify the seller is reputable before completing your transaction.

Amazon Has Third-Party Switch 2 Products:

You can still find many Nintendo Switch 2 accessories and games at Amazon. The retailer stocks officially licensed third-party accessories from brands like Hori and third-party games. Amazon remains the largest seller of accessories that are not licensed by Nintendo, including products from popular brands like JSAUX, Spigen, Skull & Co., and Tomtoc.

Every Nintendo Switch 2 Game with Boxed Edition

Nintendo Switch 2 Games

Below, you'll find a list of all of the Nintendo Switch 2 games with physical editions that are available to purchase now. It's worth noting that not all physical games are fully physical. Nintendo's first-party physical releases contain the full game file on the cartridge. With most third-party releases, you're getting a Game-Key Card, which looks the same but requires you to download part of the game file from the eShop.

There are a few exceptions to the Game-Key Card trend. Most notably, Cyberpunk 2077's 64GB Switch 2 game card includes the full game and Phantom Liberty expansion. Additionally, all of the upcoming games published by Marvellous--Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion--come with the full experience on the Switch 2 game card. Meanwhile, Split Fiction's physical edition is simply a code in a box.

Nintendo is releasing seven new Amiibo figures on June 5. The four Legend of Zelda Amiibo cost $30 each, while the trio of Street Fighter 6 Amiibo are $40 each. GameStop also has exclusive Street Fighter 6 Amiibo cards (also $40). Yes, Switch 2 Amiibo are very expensive.

Nintendo Switch 2 launch week is here. If you secured a preorder for the Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle or standalone console at a major retailer, you probably already know when you'll be able to start playing. But if you weren't able to secure a preorder, there's still a chance you'll be able to buy the Switch 2 on or around the console's June 5 release date.

Will Switch 2 preorders open again?

Nintendo Switch 2 preorders have largely been sold out since April 24, the day preorders started at major retailers. The Nintendo Store opened preorders on May 8 on an invite-only basis--you can still register your interest, but you will have an unknown wait time. We've only seen Switch 2 preorder restocks at Walmart; this happened on multiple occasions, including the weekend after preorders opened and this past Friday.

So, if preorders opened again, Walmart seems like the most likely candidate. The retailer is using some interesting phrasing on its Switch 2 store page. Walmart previously vowed to deliver Switch 2 preorders by 9 AM local time on launch day. That remains the plan--as long as you preorder by 8 AM ET on June 4. With that in mind, it seems possible Walmart will open preorders again after the launch delivery guarantee expires.

In any case, we know the Switch 2 will be available at select retailers both in-store and online on June 5 and in the ensuing days after launch. Let's take a look at Nintendo Switch 2 launch plans at retailers who are confirmed to have Switch 2 consoles starting June 5.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at Walmart

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at Walmart

Launch event in stores?

Walmart is not advertising a midnight launch for the Nintendo Switch 2, so we'd recommend contacting locations in your area to see what each store's plans and policies are for launch day. Walmart no longer has 24-hour locations, but locations open as early as 6 AM, and we'd suspect lines will begin to form long before then.

Walmart's Switch 2 stock situation is a bit murky at the moment, because some customers have reported preorders being canceled in recent days. The retailer cited a system glitch as the reason why some orders were processed beyond the number of allocated units.

Walmart sold out of most first-party accessories weeks ago, which is somewhat bizarre because Target, Best Buy, and GameStop still have most accessories in stock. We suspect Walmart is holding back some accessory stock for launch.

Online restock:

Though the retailer hasn't directly confirmed console restocks on June 5, the listings for the Mario Kart World Bundle and standalone console align with how the retailer typically handles highly anticipated product drops. Both pages say "Coming soon! Release date: 06/05/2025" in a blue box. This text box, historically, is used for events like Black Friday and Walmart+ sales, so we would be surprised if Walmart doesn't have units available to buy online on launch day.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at Best Buy

Nintendo Switch 2 launch at Best Buy

Midnight launch on June 5 at 12:01 AM ET:

Best Buy is hosting a midnight launch at 12:01 AM ET on June 5. You can use the dropdown menu on the store page to see if your local Best Buy store is participating. Some customers who attend the midnight launch will receive a free commemorative Nintendo coin; the coin has the Switch 2 logo on one side and the Best Buy logo on the other side.

Online restock:

It also appears that Best Buy will restock the console online at launch. Best Buy's store pages for both the bundle and standalone console utilize the "Coming Soon" grayed-out button and "High Demand Product" disclaimers. A Best Buy account will be required to purchase the console.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at Target

Nintendo Switch 2 launch at Target

Launch event on June 5 from 8 AM to 4 PM:

Target is hosting Switch 2 launch events at stores around the country on June 5 from 8 AM to 4 PM. Along with the chance to buy the Switch 2, Target promises "ultra-fun giveaways." If you live in the Orlando, Florida area, the Millenia Target store will have the largest launch event at Target, as it will features games, prizes, Nintendo merch, and giveaways. Target's Bull Terrier mascot Bullseye will also be in attendance, but it's unclear if it will be a real dog or an employee dressed in a dog suit.

Online restock on June 6:

Target has confirmed it will restock the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle on Friday, June 6, so if you strike out at one of the launch-day events, you'll have another chance to snag a console the following day.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at GameStop

Nintendo Switch 2 launch at GameStop

Midnight launch starts at 3 PM local time on June 4:

Select GameStop locations will be hosting a midnight launch for the Nintendo Switch 2. The event starts at 3 PM local time on June 4. Orders can be picked up at 9 PM PT (June 4) / 12 AM ET (June 5). Some store locations will be giving away one free can of Red Bull to each customer, which is an odd giveaway. The humorous part here is that GameStop is locking the Red Bull giveaway behind its Pro membership, a move typically reserved for highly anticipated products.

Online restock:

It's unclear if GameStop will restock the Switch 2 online, but we wouldn't be surprised if launch restocks are only for Pro members.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch: More Retailers

Several other national retail chains have confirmed the Switch 2 will be available to purchase on June 5.

Sam's Club: The Walmart-owned warehouse club will have the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle on June 5. It will only be available to Sam's Club members. New members can get an annual Sam's Club membership for $25 (was $50).

Costco: Costco will have the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart Bundle with a 12-month Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership on June 5. It will only be available for Costco members. The retailer will also have the Switch 2 Pro Controller on launch day.

Staples: On occasion, the office supplies retailer also sells video game consoles and games. This is one such occasion. The Switch 2 will be available to purchase at select Staples stores on June 5.

Nintendo Switch 2 on Amazon? That's a reseller.

Amazon US does not carry first-party Nintendo gaming products.

Amazon US hasn't sold first-party Nintendo video game products for about a year at this point, which is why no one has preordered the Switch 2 from Amazon US. Note: Amazon still carries Nintendo gaming products, including the Switch 2, in other regions such as the UK.

However, it's possible, and perhaps even likely, that Nintendo Switch 2 console listings will pop up on Amazon starting June 5. Unless Nintendo and Amazon change course--the details surrounding the absence of Nintendo from Amazon are murky--those store pages will be created by third-party resellers looking to turn a profit. Pay close attention to the "Ships from" and "Sold by" lines below the "Buy Now" button. If you are willing to spend extra on the Switch 2 by purchasing from a reseller, you'll want to verify the seller is reputable before completing your transaction.

Amazon Has Third-Party Switch 2 Products:

You can still find many Nintendo Switch 2 accessories and games at Amazon. The retailer stocks officially licensed third-party accessories from brands like Hori and third-party games. Amazon remains the largest seller of accessories that are not licensed by Nintendo, including products from popular brands like JSAUX, Spigen, Skull & Co., and Tomtoc.

Every Nintendo Switch 2 Game with Boxed Edition

Nintendo Switch 2 Games

Below, you'll find a list of all of the Nintendo Switch 2 games with physical editions that are available to purchase now. It's worth noting that not all physical games are fully physical. Nintendo's first-party physical releases contain the full game file on the cartridge. With most third-party releases, you're getting a Game-Key Card, which looks the same but requires you to download part of the game file from the eShop.

There are a few exceptions to the Game-Key Card trend. Most notably, Cyberpunk 2077's 64GB Switch 2 game card includes the full game and Phantom Liberty expansion. Additionally, all of the upcoming games published by Marvellous--Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion--come with the full experience on the Switch 2 game card. Meanwhile, Split Fiction's physical edition is simply a code in a box.

It's worth noting that not all physical games are fully physical. Nintendo's first-party physical releases contain the full game file on the cartridge. With most third-party releases, you're getting a Game-Key Card, which looks the same but requires you to download part of the game file from the eShop.There are a few exceptions to the Game-Key Card trend. Most notably, Cyberpunk 2077's 64GB Switch 2 game card includes the full game and Phantom Liberty expansion. Additionally, all of the upcoming games published by Marvellous--Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion--come with the full experience on the Switch 2 game card. Meanwhile, Split Fiction's physical edition is simply a code in a box.Switch 2 Exclusives - Launch GamesMario Kart World -- $79 (June 5)The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild -- $69 (June 5)The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom -- $79 (June 5)Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster -- $40 (June 5)Upcoming Switch 2 ExclusivesDonkey Kong Bananza -- $69 (July 17)Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV -- $80 (July 24)Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World -- $79 (August 28)Multiplatform Launch GamesCyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition -- $70 (June 5)Hitman: World of Assassination - Signature Edition -- $60 (June 5)Hogwarts Legacy -- $60 (June 5)Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S -- $40 (June 5)Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma -- $70 (June 5)Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma - Earth Dancer Edition -- $100 + $10 Switch 2 UpgradeSid Meier's Civilization VII -- $70 (June 5)Sonic X Shadow Generations -- $50 (June 5)Split Fiction (Code in Box) -- $50 (June 5)Yakuza 0 Director's Cut -- $50 (June 5) | Timed ExclusiveUpcoming Multiplatform GamesRaidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army Launch Edition -- $50 (June 19)No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: The Somnium Files -- $50 (July 25)Madden NFL 26 -- $70 (August 14)Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar -- $60 (August 27)Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar Premium Edition -- $80 (August 27)Star Wars Outlaws: Gold Edition -- $60 (September 4)Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion -- $70 (September 5)Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Limited Edition -- $100 (September 5)Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake -- $60 (October 30)Check out our Nintendo Switch 2 games preorder roundup for a closer look at the titles listed above.Nintendo Switch 2 AmiiboNintendo Switch 2 AmiiboNintendo is releasing seven new Amiibo figures on June 5.
