Overview

• Every Best Buy location in the U.S. will receive Nintendo Switch 2 consoles on July 17, marking the retailer’s largest restock since the console’s June debut.
• The in-store drop coincides with Donkey Kong Bananza’s release, Nintendo’s first 3D Donkey Kong title in nearly 30 years.
• Best Buy has cautioned that store quantities will be limited and has not specified whether standalone consoles or bundle packages will be available.
• This event follows earlier ticketed and timed-drop strategies by major retailers to manage the Switch 2’s chronic supply shortages.
• Online orders remain invitation-only through Amazon, underscoring the console’s continued high demand and tight distribution.
