Nintendo’s next-gen handheld, the Switch 2, debuted on June 5, 2025. While demand remains intense, intermittent restocks—like July 1 at Best Buy in the U.S.—aren’t boosting inventory much, thanks to scalpers and supply-chain issues, with shortages expected through spring 2026.
The device launched at $449 (base) or $499 in bundle form (e.g., with Mario Kart World), and is set to receive strong software support. Upcoming titles such as Donkey Kong Bananza (July 17) and Street Fighter 6 are shoring up its early release lineup
