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.

TL;DR: The highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5. If you missed out on preorders, you might want to try your luck in person at the following retailers: Best Buy, Target, Staples, GameStop, Costco, Sam's Club, and Walmart.

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.

My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total members shouldn't miss this chance to collect gift certificates when buying games and accessories for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.

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.
