Nintendo Switch 2 Now Available on Amazon

The initial rush to purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 gaming console left many fans disappointed. Getting your hands on a Switch 2 still requires some luck, especially for those who missed the pre-order window. One of the major issues was Amazon’s lack of stock, reportedly due to Nintendo taking issue with the store’s third-party sellers. However, this situation has now changed.

The Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle is now listed for sale on Amazon.

Purchasing the Nintendo Switch 2 on Amazon

Before adding the console to your shopping cart, note that purchasing the Switch 2 on Amazon is only available by invitation. You can request an invitation, which is a straightforward process if you’re logged into your Amazon account. The automated response email did not provide details on the criteria for receiving an invitation. If your request is accepted, Amazon will send an invitation link that is valid for 22 hours.

Requesting an Invitation

Requests that are not honored in the current round of invitations will be eligible for selection in future rounds. Amazon states that "you don’t need to submit another request for the next three months." This means that if you’re not selected initially, you’ll have another chance to receive an invitation in the future without having to resubmit your request.

Conclusion

If you’re still looking to purchase a Switch 2 and play Mario Kart World, it might be worth requesting an invitation on Amazon. Although there isn’t a Switch 2 Prime Day deal, the console’s availability on Amazon coincides with the start of Amazon Prime Day, which offers numerous deals and discounts from the retailer.
