Nintendo Switch 2: Bottleneck! Where can you get the coveted console now?
What's new in the world of gamers? The Nintendo Switch 2, which was officially released on June 5, 2025, is causing a lot of excitement at the moment. Demand for the new console is huge, and while retailers are stocking shelves, many buyers are facing shortages. On June 20, 2025, the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 is 469.99 euros, while the bundle with Mario Kart World is offered at 509.99 euros, so GamesEconomy.
Where can you get the coveted console? The Switch 2 is available from major retailers Amazon, MediaMarkt, Saturn, Otto and Smyths Toys, among others. However, stocks in many stores are very limited. At Smyths Toys in particular, it is reported that the shelves there are almost empty. There are currently two consoles still in stock in Schwerin, which only makes the situation even more tense. The consoles are also only available at MediaMarkt and Saturn until the end of July, while collection from the market is only possible from August 1st.
Issues with availability and ordering options
Availability is a hot topic. Many buyers report that they can only order from Amazon by invitation, and the consoles are currently sold out again at Otto. This high demand has led to a wave of overpriced listings on platforms like eBay. However, many pre-orderers are still waiting for their orders - an uncomfortable situation for everyone who wanted to snap up quickly. GamePro clarifies that some retailers are also experiencing issues with consoles being damaged in delivery. That doesn't make things any easier.
But a look at the features of the Nintendo Switch 2 shows that the wait might be worth it after all. Equipped with improved hardware that includes a faster CPU and GPU, the console also brings 4K 60 Hz via docking station and Full HD 120 Hz in handheld mode. Innovative features such as magnetic Joy-Cons and a “C” button for GameChat with video transmission promise a unique gaming experience. PCGamesHardware highlights that Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, which will be released on July 17, 2025, are also expected among the launch titles.
Good tips for buying
Customers who don't want to wait for the release should perhaps create a customer account with the dealer. This makes ordering easier and will make it easier when the console is available again. Additionally, monitoring online communities like Reddit for availability updates can be helpful.
It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming weeks. The coveted Nintendo Switch 2 remains on everyone's lips and makes gamers' hearts beat faster. It remains to be seen whether there will be a happy ending for everyone. Until then, patience and a good hand are required when purchasing.
