The Nintendo Switch 2 officially drops on Thursday, June 5, and it will be available to purchase at Walmart, Target, GameStop and Best Buy. However, seeing as preorders for the new console and its “Mario Kart World” bundle sold out in minutes, you’ll have to act fast to make sure you can bring it home on launch day.

The biggest Nintendo Switch 2 title at launch is Mario Kart World, which retails for a hefty £74.95 at release, making it seem like these are the prices we can expect for first-party Nintendo titles going forward.

After years of anticipation, the Nintendo Switch 2 has arrived. Here's where you can buy the new console right now.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally available to buy, at least theoretically it is. Unfortunately, the Switch 2 has been a hot commodity, and it is sold out
