Wow, so the Nintendo Switch 2 dropped, and if you’re itching to get it, you’re in for a wild ride. Stock’s like a rollercoaster, up and down, with stores trying—and mostly failing—to keep up. It’s Amazon Prime Day, but don’t hold your breath for discounts on the console itself. Accessories might be a different story, though. Maybe a case or, I dunno, a funky controller skin?
This thing’s not just a little upgrade. Nope, it’s bigger—like, literally larger—and better in all sorts of fun ways. The Joy-Cons are chunkier, there’s a new dock, and the kickstand isn’t that annoying little flappy thing anymore. Oh, you might want to snag a microSD Express card because, honestly, who on earth has enough storage? The 256GB onboard probably won’t cut it once you start downloading every cool game you see.
The screen’s bumped up to 7.9 inches with 1080p resolution—thank goodness for that! I always felt like the original was just a bit meh on the visuals. Dock it, and boom, you’ve got games in 4K, if they’re compatible. Without the dock, the thing can shoot up to 120 fps, with HDR too, depending on, you know, what magic the software pulls.
You can grab the Switch 2 with some bundles, if they’re not sold out the exact moment you try. Mario Kart bundles are a thing—or so they claim—plus some other peripheral combinations. Check back a lot. I mean, maybe not constantly, but, you know, frequently-ish?

It’s like hunting for a unicorn. Stock’s here one second and gone the next. I checked, uh, when was it? Oh right, July 7. Keep your eyes peeled!

And in the UK, during Prime Day 2025
Still a mad scramble. Retailers can’t seem to keep these on the shelves either. Places like ShopTo, Very, and Argos might have some. Maybe.
