For those in the US still trying to pre-order the Switch 2, additional chances to obtain the console at launch are coming. Retailers including GameStop, Costco, and Staples are preparing extra stock, and Target is reportedly joining them by restocking units the following day, covering both the base model and the Mario Kart World bundle.
“On June 6, Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle will be available for purchase beginning early morning on Target.com, while supplies last.”
Target has clarified that availability is limited and online-only, while also outlining pickup procedures for June 5. Here’s the full rundown:
“You can begin lining up in the designated queuing location at the entrance of each Target store before stores open on Thursday, June 5. Target team members will distribute physical or digital tickets, which will reserve your product for purchase. Limited stock is available. Ticketing will take place until all tickets have been claimed or 10 minutes prior to store opening.
“Ticketed guests will be directed to the electronics area of the store to purchase and pick up their product.”
Stores like GameStop are providing trade-in promotions, allowing customers to exchange older Switch hardware for discounts on the upgraded model.
