Hurry and Snag a Nintendo Switch 2 at Walmart or Best Buy Before They’re Sold Out

They’re about as common as, I dunno, spotting a unicorn in your backyard. Seriously. Since they launched, Nintendo’s latest handheld—yep, I’m talking about the Switch 2—has basically vanished into thin air. Or, it feels like it, anyway. You blink and the pre-orders are gone. And the restocks? Ha, barely time to catch your breath before poof, they’re outta here too. I mean, who has the patience to hover around the checkout button all day? Not me.

So, here’s the scoop. Some stock’s popped up at Best Buy and Walmart. But, oh boy, you gotta play detective. Do the whole online sleuthing to see if your local store’s playing friendly and has one for you to nab. Oh, and shipping? That’s a whole other adventure—you might get lucky. The standalone Switch 2 and a bundle (yeah, it comes with a Mario Kart World game code) are both up for grabs. Prices are like this, in case you’re curious: $449 for just the console and $499 if you fancy the bundle.

Now, let’s geek out for a second. The Switch 2’s got this 7.9-inch screen—it’s pretty slick—super crisp at 1080p, which is a step up from the old Switch at 720p. You dock it and surprise, compatible games can hit 4K. Detach it and you’re looking at up to 120 FPS with HDR. Pretty snazzy, right? Depends on the software, though, so no guarantees.

And hey, if this interests you, better act fast. They’re gonna disappear faster than a magician’s rabbit. Just make sure you’re paying MSRP prices. Anything higher? Meh, I’d play it cool and wait for the price to chill back down. Oh, and triple check it’s all legit from Walmart or Best Buy, not some random seller.
