If you've been hunting high and low for a Nintendo Switch 2, then get ready to visit your local Best Buy on July 17. The electronics retailer will be restocking the handheld in all of its stores to coincide with the release of Donkey Kong Bananza, the first 3D Donkey Kong game in almost 30 years.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has been one of the hottest launches of the summer, and it remains in short supply due to high demand. Even the Amazon listing for the Switch 2 is available only by invitation, would-be buyers have to put in a request. This Best Buy event feels like the most substantial restock since the launch of the console last month.
The Switch 2 has received a warm reception thanks to its larger 7.9-inch screen with HDR and a more polished design. The console also features significantly better performance than the first generation — so much so that Cyberpunk 2077 was released for the Switch 2.
Details on whether stand-alone consoles, the Mario Kart World bundle or package deals with Donkey Kong Bananza will be available in Best Buy stores have not been shared. One thing we do know, however, is that Best Buy says that stock will be “limited,” so you’ll probably want to show up before your store opens.
