Overview

  • ShopTo and Argos have begun limited UK restocks of the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle priced around £430, with units selling out within minutes.
  • Walmart offered invite-only online sales for both standalone consoles and bundles exclusively to its Plus members starting at 7 PM ET on July 7.
  • Amazon introduced invite-request listings for the Switch 2 console and Mario Kart World bundle at MSRP, requiring customers to wait for purchase invitations valid for 22 hours over a three-month eligibility period.
  • Nintendo’s official retailer list excludes Amazon, prompting warnings from ZDNET and others that the invite-only Amazon pages may be unauthorized scalper or scam listings.
  • The Switch 2 continues to struggle with supply shortages despite selling a record-breaking 5 million units during its opening weekend, driving retailers to adopt invitation-based distribution models.
