Where to Purchase Nintendo’s Switch 2 Console in 2025

Ugh, so there’s this thing — the Nintendo Switch 2 — and somehow everyone and their grandma wants one. Don’t ask me why, I guess it’s just the “it” thing right now. But if you’re hoping to snag one, buckle up. Seems like patience is the name of the game with these stock supplies bouncing around like a kid on sugar.

So, what’s new with this doohickey? It’s bigger. And supposedly better. The Joy-Cons are chunkier. Could be a good or bad thing? Up to you. There’s a new dock and this kickstand thing. Handy if you care about… kickstands. Oh, and about storage – this one’s got 256GB but, knowing me, I’d somehow still run out. A microSD Express card might be your friend here.

Let’s get to the nerdy nitty-gritty: The screen — 7.9 inches, 1080p. Not too shabby. And there’s talk of 4K with the dock. Fancy, though my eyes rarely notice such details. When is it at 120 frames with HDR? Depends on the software, they say. Which sounds vague. Or technical. Or both.

And buying it? Well, it’s available… if your timing’s right. Sometimes with extras like Mario Kart or other gizmos. Prices? Stock? It all changes faster than my attention span. Keep an eye out or, I dunno, wish on a shooting star.

Now, where can you actually get this thing in the US? The usual suspects: Best Buy, Walmart, Antonline — which sounds like something an AI made up. Oh, GameStop, Newegg, and Target too.

Across the pond in the UK, ShopTo’s a name (literally), and so are Argos, Very, and a few others like GAME and Currys. As of July 30, 2025, they had some. Who knows for how long?

You’ll need a mix of luck, timing, and perhaps a sprinkle of magic pixie dust. Honestly, sometimes it feels like you’re chasing unicorns. Happy hunting!
