To avoid hoarding and reselling, Nintendo and retailers are limiting orders per person. That means you’ll need to make an account to successfully place an order. We also recommend reviewing our tips for tracking restocks, and in the meantime, try all the links below.

Place an order with Nintendo

You can’t simply go to the My Nintendo Store and buy the Switch 2. To order the Switch 2, you need to log in with an active, paid Nintendo Switch Online account. Once you do that, you can choose either a Switch 2 standalone console or the Mario Kart World bundle and then hit the confirm button to “register your interest” in ordering a Switch 2.

Now for the weird stuff. Only Switch Online members who have paid for at least 12 months of service and registered at least 50 hours of gameplay on their Switch consoles can purchase through Nintendo. In other words, you better be a true Switch gamer if you want to buy the Switch 2 this way. If you’re eligible and follow these steps, watch your email for an invitation link.

How to order Switch 2 at Walmart

Unlike Nintendo, purchasing the Switch 2 online at Walmart is pretty simple. Technically, Walmart shoppers have been able to preorder Switch 2 consoles on

since midnight ET on April 24. In reality, the console has been sold out consistently. Our advice? Go to the Walmart Switch 2 listing a few times a day and smash that refresh button.

We’ll update this article as soon as we find Switch 2 consoles in stock at Walmart (or anywhere). Walmart also sells a lot of Switch 2 launch titles and

, Switch 2 hopefuls were directed to a “designated queuing location” near the entrance. Target workers reportedly gave out reservation tickets to a lucky few. Buyers were whisked off to the electronics department, where they could finally purchase either the Switch 2 or a Switch 2 bundle.

How to buy Switch 2 at GameStop

GameStop is the one retailer of the four listed here that’s doing things a little bit differently. If you were lucky enough to get a GameStop preorder, you could pick up your console at midnight on June 5. GameStop stores

How to buy Switch 2 consoles at Best Buy

Best Buy joined GameStop in hosting Switch 2 midnight launch parties, but the tents and lawn chairs have been packed away by now. If you weren’t one of the chosen ones who got a console at these events, you’ll have to rely on the Best Buy website. So far, we haven’t seen any inventory available, unfortunately.

As a “high-demand item,” Best Buy customers have to follow specific steps to buy a Switch 2 online:

Create a My Best Buy account and sign in

Add the item to your cart

Follow the on-screen prompts and check for available inventory

will sell the Switch 2 on a first-come, first-served basis starting June 5. Most Staples locations open at 8 a.m., but we recommend showing up bright and early. Staples will also be selling an unnamed Switch 2 game bundle, and we know it’s not the standard Mario Kart World bundle. As with other retailers, Switch 2 consoles are currently listed as “Out of stock” at the Staples online store.

How to buy the Switch 2 at Costco

Are you a Costco member? Then you may be able to secure your Switch 2 at the mega-retailer, which has been one of the few retailers with actual inventory available on June 5. Costco members can purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle online starting June 5, though there’s a limit of one console per membership (every seven days). As of this writing, the console and Mario Kart bundle are both sold out.

Mashable reporter Alex Perry was lucky enough to play the Switch 2 at two Nintendo pre-launch events, and as of this writing, he’s hard at work testing his Switch 2 review unit. We’ve published his day one review, and check back for a full review next week. To sum up his thoughts, while there are a couple of annoying setup quirks, the new console is a big step forward and just as much fun as you’d hoped. You can also read all about the Switch 2 launch titles we’re most excited to play.

“I think it’s awesome,” Perry wrote in his Switch 2 early review. “Most of the games I’ve played have been impressive in one way or another, and the hardware is a clear improvement over the first Switch. It’s not perfect, but nothing is.”

And if you still haven’t secured an order, keep checking this page for updates — and good luck!

UPDATE: Jun. 8, 2025, 8:15 a.m. EDT We’ve updated this page with the latest stock updates from Target, Best Buy, Walmart, GameStop, Costco, and Staples.
