Nintendo’s Switch 2 is available online at Best Buy

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been difficult to find in stock since its June 5th launch, though restocks are beginning to ramp up. If you’re looking for one, head over to Best Buy’s site or use the app. Those who have a free account can get the standalone system ($449.99) and a console bundle ($499.99) that includes Mario Kart World available. The latest Mario Kart costs $79.99 on its own, so picking up a system with the game included will end up saving you $30 compared to buying them separately. 

The Switch 2 has become the fastest-selling console of all time, having sold over 3.5 million units in its first four days. The system is a hybrid handheld console just like the original Nintendo Switch, which has gone on to sell over 150 million units after eight years. The Switch 2 can play most digital and physical games released for the first Nintendo Switch, and both Nintendo and Switch game developers are pushing game updates to further improve backwards compatibility. The new system can run some (but not all) original Switch games at higher resolutions and frame rates than the older console thanks to patches or paid Switch 2 Edition upgrades. My colleague Andrew Webster called the Switch 2 “the Switch, just better” in The Verge’s review.
