Refresh
After another stock sweep, it doesn’t look like Walmart is getting any more new stock tonight.
And with that, I’m signing off for the night. Hopefully we’ll see some movement tomorrow as Prime Day kicks off properly. Goodnight, folks!
Now sold out
Well, it lasted a lot longer than I thought it would, but the Nintendo Switch 2 restock at Walmart is finally sold out. It’s possible there’s a few more units kicking around over the next few days, but we’ll just have to keep our eyes peeled.
I hope you landed a console if you were after one today, and if not, there will always be next time.
Still going strong
Wow, I’m surprised the restock has lasted this long. The “50% of this deal is gone” status has even disappeared on my end. Perhaps Walmart had some extra units hiding away in the back?
There’s still time to get your hands on a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle if you haven’t already, though there has been no movement on the standalone console listing.
Halfway gone
Have you already put your order in for the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle? Walmart is showing 50% of the stock is already out the door, so don’t wait around.
Beware of scalpers!
It looks like only the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle is available direct from Walmart at this time.
Be careful of scalper listings for the standalone console; these are posted for a few hundred dollars more than the bundle right now! Don’t feed them.
And they’re off! Time to get in line
Walmart+ deals are officially live and the promised Nintendo Switch 2 restocks are here. I doubt they’ll stick around long, so if you’ve been meaning to get your hands on a console, now’s your chance!
Walmart is definitely gearing up to drop some Switch 2 stock – the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle now has an “Early Access” tag for Walmart+ members.
Get ready!
One hour to go!
There’s one hour to go until Walmart gets new Nintendo Switch 2 units in! If it’s similar to the last Walmart restock, you’ll be able to reserve a spot in line if you’re a Walmart+ member once the countdown reaches zero.
Walmart restock tonight confirmed
Hey folks, Marcus Mears III here with some great news for US Switch prospectors: Walmart has confirmed a restock for Switch 2 consoles at 7pm ET. I’ll be around to cover the stock situation as it unfolds.
This restock comes amidst the wave of potential early Amazon Prime Day deals, so we’ll also keep an eye on any games and accessories that may go on sale and pair perfectly with your new console. Stay tuned!
Still not looking great in the US
I wouldn’t expect any Switch 2 stock in the US today. However, with Amazon Prime Day happening tomorrow and for the rest of the week, there’s every chance the retailers listed below will make the most of the opportunity and begin stacking their Switch 2 shelves.
Highlighting a pretty sweet Switch 2 bundle at Very in the UK
I know, I don’t like paying over the odds for a new console as much as anyone does, but at least this bundle at Very does offer some pretty excellent accessories for the price.
The bundle includes the Switch 2 console, Mario Kart World (digital copy), a Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, 256GB SanDisk microSD Express card, and 12 months of accidental damage cover added for free. For £553, that’s not at all a bad deal. The bundle’s in a pre-order phase right now, and expected to deliver on July 18.
- Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World and accessories: £553 at Very
Joy-Con 2 for £5 less?
Bizarrely, Smyths Toys also has the best rate on Joy-Con 2 controllers right now. If you need a spare pair for multiplayer or a back-up in case replacement is needed, then this is the retailer I’d check out. Right now, a pair of Joy-Con 2 controllers are £69.99 – a fiver off retail price.
An update from Smyths Toys in the UK
Popular tech and toys retailer Smyths Toys currently doesn’t have Switch 2 stock in the UK, but there’s a silver lining here. The store pages for the Switch 2 and its Mario Kart World bundle both state that stock is expected ‘July 2025’. No specific date is given, but its Switch 2 store pages are worth bookmarking and keeping an eye on for when stock eventually comes through. Hopefully sooner rather than later!
Hey again gamers! I’ll be back with you for the next hour and a half keeping an eye on Switch 2 stock. If I spot anything noteworthy on the console or its accessories, I’ll be sure to keep you in the know.
My shift is over!
OK, I am out for the day and handing back over to Rhys – I will be back on tomorrow so catch you then!
Amazon UK still has stock!
Trying to keep my optimistic hat on for Prime Day Switch 2 stock on a larger scale, I’ve just checked again and Amazon UK still has stock of the standalone console right now.
I really, really hope that this means the retailer has something going on behind the scenes of a global, or at least ‘both sides of the Atlantic’, scale…
The US continues to be dry…
Sadly, it’s not a bright picture in the US still. The below links are all still good to check but it remains that in-store options, particularly GameStop and Target, look like your best bets so far.
I’m back!
Rhys has gone on lunch and I have returned!
Let’s get into the US situation now…
Argos swoops in with more Switch 2 stock!
First ShopTo, then eBuyer and My Nintendo Store. Now Argos has thrown its hat into the ring when it comes to Switch 2 stock. The popular retailer currently has stock in for the Mario Kart World bundle, at the retail price of £429.99.
It’s worth noting that delivery only seems to be available on a per-region basis, and stock is not guaranteed depending on where in the UK you’re based. However, you can enter your postcode on the store page to confirm whether or not you’re able to buy a Switch 2 at Argos right now.
Switch 2 stock in at My Nintendo Store!
Even more super news for Switch 2 hunters in the UK today. It looks like you can get the console straight from the source as My Nintendo Store has both the console and the Mario Kart World bundle in stock!
The one caveat is that you’ll need to be logged into a Nintendo account on the website (you can just login using the account you use on Switch) in order to add the product to your cart. Once you’ve done that, though, both are available at retail price.
Switch 2 consoles up for pre-order at eBuyer
UK outlet eBuyer doesn’t have Switch 2 stock in just yet, but it is expecting stock soon. Right now, this is the case for the Switch 2 console on its own (nothing on the Mario Kart World bundle just yet, sadly).
You can pre-order the console at eBuyer for £395.98. The retailer is expecting stock to arrive on July 30. It’ll be a few weeks of waiting, then, but eBuyer is promising free next day delivery (depending on your region) as soon as stock arrives.
Stock alert! Switch 2 + Mario Kart World available at ShopTo!
I’ve got some great news if you’re shopping around for a Switch 2 in the UK today. Online retailer ShopTo currently has stock in for the console bundle that features a digital copy of Mario Kart World.
It does look like stock is selling through extremely quickly, though, so have your finger on the trigger here. Right now, there’s well over 1,200 people browsing the stock page!
Hey folks! This is Rhys stepping in for Rob for the time being. I’ll be taking a look at the Switch 2 stock situation in the UK over the next hour, and will report back if I come across anything noteworthy.
Right I just need to step away to walk the dog and get a bite to eat!
My colleague Rhys will continue our look at the UK Switch 2 restock situation for the time being until I return.
Catch you in a bit!
In superb news elsewhere in the UK, you’ve also got a plethora of options at retailer Very to get stuck into and order!
You can find them all detailed below, but the retailer has embraced the bundle approach, for sure.
- Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle + Switch 2 Pro controller + Switch 2 Camera: £555 at Very
- Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle + Switch 2 Pro controller + SanDisk 256GB microSD Express card: £553 at Very
- Nintendo Switch 2 + The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch 2 Edition + Donkey Kong Bananza: £525 at Very
- Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle + The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch 2 Edition: £494 at Very
- Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle + Donkey Kong Bananza: £496 at Very
- Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle + Samsung 256GB microSD Express card: £479 at Very
- Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle + Street Fighter 6: £479 at Very
- Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle: £429.99 at Very
Aaaaand the bundle’s gone…
Just after I published that last post, I refreshed the Amazon listing page for the bundle and saw the price jump up to an evil, inflated, re-seller price!
Don’t go for that as it’ll just feed the scalping machine which benefits nobody.
As a result, if you want to shop at Amazon UK for a Switch 2 then just go for the standalone console.
UK has stock!
In brief, the great news is that the UK has stock right now!
Leading the way is an excellent early sign of Prime Day stock with Amazon UK offering stock of both the console and Mario Kart World bundle. Use the links below to get straight to those listings!
Hello and welcome!
