The Nintendo Switch 2 has been made available for purchase through Walmart and Amazon in mid-2025, with a focus on paid early access for Walmart+ members. Walmart+ subscribers have enjoyed exclusive early access windows, typically starting at 6 PM PT, with non-members gaining access an hour later. The console is offered both standalone, priced around $449, and in a Mario Kart World bundle priced at approximately $499. The bundle includes the Nintendo Switch 2 console, Mario Kart World game, a Pro Controller, and additional accessories such as a Samsung microSD Express Card and a GameFly membership in some offers. Amazon began selling the Nintendo Switch 2 during Prime Day but requires customers to request an invitation to purchase, limiting immediate availability. Despite these restrictions, the console and bundles have remained in stock for extended periods on Walmart, with no significant queues reported during sales. Target has also been noted to carry the Mario Kart World bundle at similar pricing. Walmart+ membership costs $49 per year and provides benefits including early access to the Switch 2. The rollout strategy indicates a controlled release through select retailers with membership incentives to manage demand and availability.
