Since the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 in June, the new game console has been sold for retailers across the country. But now, Nintendo has replenished the Switch 2, with prices from $ 449, before the holiday season.
We have gathered the best retailers to get our hands on the Nintendo Switch 2, including Walmart, Target and Amazon.
Our shopping publishers recently tested the Switch 2 during the private overview of Nintendo in Los Angeles on April 11 at the CBS Studios television city. The new console screen is larger and more brilliant than the first generation switch and the OLED edition and the same matte feeling, while the Joy-Con 2 controllers felt thinner and more ergonomic with rounder edges.
In advance, you will find how to buy the Nintendo Switch 2, details on the new game console and which games are available to play on the first day.
We also liked the new mouse control feature of Joy-Con 2 which allows you to slide the controller along a table, mouse pad or even your legs for a new type of game. We have tried the functionality while playing the new game of basketball in Nintendo wheelchair, and found the rolling movement easy to learn.

Joy-Con 2 also has stronger, more dynamic and more reactive haptic feedback. For example, Nintendo’s “Welcome Tour” game allows you to use controllers as maracas to feel the feeling of weight change pearls.
