Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at Walmart

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at Walmart

Online restock at 9 PM PT / 12 AM ET

Walmart restocked the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle at 9 PM PT / 12 AM ET. The retailer also replenished its stock for numerous sold-out accessories as well as gear that was never available to preorder (Joy-Con 2 Controllers).

Nintendo Switch 2 Accessories Restocked at Walmart:

Launch event in stores

Walmart stores located in Mountain and Pacific timezones started selling the console at 9 PM PT on June 4. Shoppers in Central and Eastern timezones should check with their local Walmart store for launch hours and plans. Most Walmart stores close by 11 PM ET, which means the Switch 2 likely won't be available to purchase until your local Walmart opens in the morning. Many of Walmart's locations open at 6 AM ET, though lines have probably already formed.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at Best Buy

Nintendo Switch 2 launch at Best Buy

Online restock:

Best Buy hasn't confirmed an online launch restock, but Best Buy's store pages for both the bundle and standalone console utilize the "Coming Soon" grayed-out button and "High Demand Product" disclaimers. This language and setup typically precedes a restock. A Best Buy account will be required to purchase the console during the retailer's next restock.

Midnight launch:

Best Buy hosted a midnight launch at 12:01 AM ET on June 5 at select stores across the US. Some customers who attended the midnight launch received a free commemorative Nintendo coin; the coin has the Switch 2 logo on one side and the Best Buy logo on the other side.

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

Online restock at 9 PM PT / 12 AM ET

GameStop's online launch restock began at 9 PM PT / 12 AM ET on June 5. As mentioned, GameStop created a custom bundle for its online restock. The $625 price is equal to the cost of the Mario Kart World Bundle and the three accessories combined.

Midnight launch:

Select GameStop locations hosted a midnight launch for the Nintendo Switch 2. The event started at 3 PM local time on June 4. Orders can be picked up at 9 PM PT (June 4) / 12 AM ET (June 5).

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch: More Retailers

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

BJ's Wholesale Club: The Mario Kart World Bundle was in stock in the early morning hours on June 5.

Antonline: It's unclear when the consoles will be available to purchase, but Antonline has a store page for the console and bundle.

Sam's Club: The Walmart-owned warehouse club had 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 has the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart Bundle with a 12-month Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, but it's only available for members.

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 Switch 2 Launch at Walmart

Online restock at 9 PM PT / 12 AM ET

Nintendo Switch 2 Accessories Restocked at Walmart:

Launch event in stores

Walmart stores located in Mountain and Pacific timezones started selling the console at 9 PM PT on June 4. Shoppers in Central and Eastern timezones should check with their local Walmart store for launch hours and plans. Most Walmart stores close by 11 PM ET, which means the Switch 2 likely won't be available to purchase until your local Walmart opens in the morning. Many of Walmart's locations open at 6 AM ET, though lines have probably already formed.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch at Best Buy

Nintendo Switch 2 launch at Best Buy

Online restock:

Best Buy hasn't confirmed an online launch restock, but Best Buy's store pages for both the bundle and standalone console utilize the "Coming Soon" grayed-out button and "High Demand Product" disclaimers. This language and setup typically precedes a restock. A Best Buy account will be required to purchase the console during the retailer's next restock.

Midnight launch:

Best Buy hosted a midnight launch at 12:01 AM ET on June 5 at select stores across the US. Some customers who attended the midnight launch received a free commemorative Nintendo coin; the coin has the Switch 2 logo on one side and the Best Buy logo on the other side.

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

Online restock at 9 PM PT / 12 AM ET

GameStop's online launch restock began at 9 PM PT / 12 AM ET on June 5. As mentioned, GameStop created a custom bundle for its online restock. The $625 price is equal to the cost of the Mario Kart World Bundle and the three accessories combined.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch: More Retailers

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

BJ's Wholesale Club: The Mario Kart World Bundle was in stock in the early morning hours on June 5.

Antonline: It's unclear when the consoles will be available to purchase, but Antonline has a store page for the console and bundle.

Sam's Club: The Walmart-owned warehouse club had 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 has the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart Bundle with a 12-month Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, but it's only available for members.

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.
