The eagerly awaited Nintendo Switch 2 launch is creating excitement among both gamers and retailers. While Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) stands to benefit from the increased demand, even a hit product cycle may not be sufficient to counter the retailer’s rising financial and macroeconomic challenges.

The new portable console sold out quickly online as retailers required pre-orders and limited sales to stop scalping. Here's how to find a Nintendo Switch 2 now.

We went from anxiously waiting for the Nintendo Switch 2 launch this month to the console now being out for over a week. While Nintendo Switch 2 restocks haven’t exactly been hard to come by, 3.5 million units have already been sold. The console is a hit, and like those millions of people, I’ve been spending time with Nintendo’s latest system.

Update, June 11th: Best Buy has sold out of its initial online inventory of both the standalone console and the Mario Kart World bundle.

Best Buy locations will be opening at midnight to offer Nintendo Switch 2 systems, and they'll have an exclusive item.

Launch day is finally here, so where can you buy the Switch 2 online? Get updates and check the latest stock at GameStop, Walmart, Best Buy, and more.

In the UK, there was some excellent availability for the Nintendo Switch 2 for launch day, and after a tough day or so, it seems like stock is improving. We'll be checking UK retailers regularly for any updates, so rest assured, you'll find the best links for that region here too.
