Gamers who missed out on a chance to get a Nintendo Switch 2 on launch day, or in the rare opportunities since, can buy one through Best Buy’s website or mobile app right now. Although the retailer had plenty of in-store stock on launch day, this particular restock is available exclusively online. You can currently buy either the base $449.99 console or the one bundled with Mario Kart World that costs $499.99 (saving you $30 off the game’s usual cost).
While all of the shopping will be done online, these orders won’t be delivered. They’re for in-store pickup only, so make sure you can arrange a pickup before completing the order.
Nintendo had a relatively smooth Switch 2 launch from a server standpoint. No issues for players who are buying a lot of games, or transferring their Switch 1 data to the Switch 2. It was also a hugely successful launch, with Nintendo announcing that it sold 3.5 million Switch 2 consoles in four days, setting a new record for the company as the fastest-selling hardware yet.
