Overview

  • Direct console sales on Nintendo’s website remain invite-only, requiring a 12-month Switch Online subscription and at least 50 hours of gameplay to receive purchase invitations.
  • GameStop, Walmart and Target sustain erratic US restocks, with GameStop planning in-store drops today and the latter two showing brief online availability.
  • Best Buy has removed the Switch2 from its online store and enforces one-per-customer limits for in-store pickups that vary by location.
  • Costco members can order the Mario Kart World bundle for delivery by June 20 under a one-membership requirement.
  • In the UK, retailers including Very, EE and Amazon post regular yet brief drops, while Ebuyer’s stock ships as late as August 30.
