If you haven’t gotten aNintendo Switch 2yet, tonight may be your opportunity to do so, but you’ll have to be fast. The Switch 2 has become the fastest-selling console in history, with over 3.5 million units sold in its first four days. While the console seems to be more readily available for purchase than the previous launches of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S (and less scalping than those consoles, too), some fans are still struggling to find the Switch 2, and Walmart appears to be the best bet to secure Nintendo’s latest offering.
As reported byComicbook, theNintendo Switch 2 will be restocked atWalmarttonight at 9 p.m. ETS/6 p.m.PST, with a one-hour priority granted to Walmart+ members. Additional stock may be available for non-members, but it’s possible they will be sold out before the one-hour exclusivity period ends. Both the standard Nintendo Switch 2 and the bundle withMario Kart Worldwill be available. While Amazon has not sold the Switch 2 yet, it has recently begun to offer Switch 2 games, so prospective buyers should keep an eye on it as well.
Nintendo Switch 2 Restock Is For Walmart+ Members
There’s Also A Free Trial Available
The membership is $98 per year, but with the free trial,if they only wish to purchase the Switch 2 tonight. While more Switch 2 units have been manufactured than Switch 1 units at launch, supply is still inconsistent. While the3000 Switch 2s stolenin a nearly one-million-dollar heist wouldn’t have had a major impact on overall supply, other issues like scalping can make it harder to find.
Getting A Switch 2 Can Still Be Frustrating
It’s Proving To Be A Popular Console
Despite thecontroversy surrounding the console’s price tag, its variable game pricing strategy, which resulted inMario Kart Worldbeing sold for $80, and the lack of innovation over the Switch 1 in some fans' eyes,the Switch 2 has been incredibly successful, and the demand for the console doesn’t appear to be slowing down. Some fans can walk into their local Walmart or GameStop and find one easily, while others have yet to find the console out in the wild and have been waiting for an online restock.
Overall, for fans who haven’t been able to find one, this new restock for Walmart+ members might be the best opportunity to secure the Switch 2 since pre-orders began. And with a free trial available, a lot of fans are probably going to attempt to use the trial to get theNintendo Switch 2tonight. If you’re trying to get one, be patient, have your login and payment information saved and ready to go, and keep an eye on holds from banks that may prevent the transaction from being completed.
