While it was difficult to get your hands on a Nintendo Switch 2<\/a> back in June when it first became available, that’s no longer the case. It just got even easier now that Amazon has the console listed for sale, with no invitation<\/a> required. The handhelds have been selling at a blistering pace<\/a>, with just under 6 million units sold in the first four weeks.<\/p>\n

Online inventories in those initial weeks sold out in a flash, and sparse restocks were gone just as quickly. Amazon was left out of the initial pre-order process and didn’t list the console at all until over a month<\/a> after its release. This conspicuous absence may have been due to Nintendo’s frustration<\/a> with third-party sellers undercutting the company’s own pricing for games<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n

We really loved the Nintendo Switch 2 in our hands-on review<\/a>, and thought it was a great follow-up to the 2017 console that launched a handheld renaissance. We gave the Switch 2 a score of 93 out of 100, and were particularly impressed with its larger 7-9-inch LCD screen, the magnetic Joy-Cons, better base storage and, of course, significantly improved performance over the original. The pricing is a bit steep, the battery life could be better and the dock could more USB-C ports, but aside from those details the Switch 2 is almost perfect.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been waiting to pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 without having to go on a scavenger hunt, then the Amazon listing should be a welcome option. The months since release have also seen a great selection of Switch 2 ports and exclusive games<\/a> hit the market. Amazon’s listing offers the standalone console for $449 or the Mario Kart World bundle for $499. Sales are limited to one unit per customer.<\/p>\n
