Antonline is offering intriguing bundles, though currently they show “item cannot be purchased at this time” on individual product pages. Despite this, these bundles are worth watching for future restocks, as they tend to linger due to their higher prices. You still receive a fair deal, albeit purchasing more items to secure the handheld. Notably, the solo handheld sold out faster than the Mario Kart World bundle, which still remains available at £429.99 on Nintendo’s site for now.
Meanwhile, Target has exhausted its supply of Nintendo Switch 2 handhelds, but it’s wise to monitor their page throughout the day, as more drops have been spotted occurring throughout the morning. As of writing, Target offers the Mario Kart World bundle for $499.99, promising delivery by Monday, June 9.
Earlier today, Antonline had a $609.99 bundle, including extra accessories and games, but it’s now marked as ‘Coming Soon’. Although this was their most affordable bundle, premium options are still available, indicating that stock is dwindling fast.
As the sun sets, the UK market still shows solid inventory for the Nintendo Switch 2. Retailers like Very, EE, and Argos continue to thrive. However, in the US, major stock drops remain elusive; nonetheless, places such as Best Buy and Target might offer consolation through local visits. For instance, Very provides a £555 bundle including the Nintendo Switch 2, Mario Kart World, the Switch 2 Camera, and Pro Controller.
On the accessories front, Nintendo released new amiibo figures and presents its official camera, available at Walmart in the US for $54. The camera promises a superior 1080p resolution, ensuring you look your best during GameChat. Meanwhile, fun options like the Hori Piranha Plant camera add flair to your setup, albeit the visual quality being a lower 480p.
Regarding availability, grabbing a Switch 2 post-launch did not seem promising for US consumers, but GameStop hinted at periodic restocks. In the UK, retailers such as Amazon UK, Very, and Argos have stock ready for new orders, with options for immediate collection at specific locations. Smyths Toys and Currys, notably offering midnight availability, are worth visiting for eager buyers.
If you missed the pre-order window, the Switch 2 is still out there, especially in the UK with multiple avenues to explore. Many stores, including Amazon UK, have stepped up, fueling anticipation for not just the console, but a slew of methods to accessorize it handsomely for its launch wave.
The debut of the Switch 2 signifies more than the console itself, as accessories like the Joy-Con Charging Grip with customizable back buttons bring new dynamics. While US availability is tight, those in the UK should consider Amazon for these upgrades, with deliveries projected shortly after the launch period.
Ultimately, the era of Nintendo Switch 2 begins amid a flurry of interest and anticipation. Whether you aim to secure one now or await more conventional access, the road to enjoying Nintendo’s latest marvel is unfolding with ample opportunity.
