Nintendo Allegedly Removes Products, Including Switch 2, from Amazon U.S. Amid Sales Dispute — Both Companies Deny Allegations

Oh man, where do I even start with this drama between Nintendo and Amazon? It’s a whole situation and I can’t help but chuckle a bit. Imagine this: Nintendo pulling their products from Amazon USA. Why? A spat over third-party sellers, apparently. I don’t know, feels like a soap opera or something.

So here’s what went down, allegedly. Nintendo noticed these sneaky merchants were offloading games cheaper than dirt — thanks to buying them in bulk from, like, Southeast Asia. I mean, of course, they were cheaper! But Nintendo wasn’t thrilled about this undercut party.

Anyway — oh wait, I lost my train of thought — right, Nintendo started to magically disappear from Amazon. Seriously, their listings just poofed. All that was left were these third-party folks selling Nintendo stuff, and not even by Amazon directly. Weird, huh?

Then Amazon, bless them, tried to patch things up. Like, “Hey, how about we slap on some authenticity labels?” But Nintendo was like, “Nah, we’re good.” At least according to Bloomberg.

Now, here’s the kicker. Nintendo and Amazon? Both totally deny this hullaballoo. Nintendo’s all, “We don’t talk about ongoing drama.” And Amazon’s there going, “Nothing to see here, folks. We’re still cool with Nintendo.” Except, well, no sign of the Switch 2 on Amazon’s US playground. It’s a mystery!

Yet, Nintendo’s rocking it worldwide, breaking sales records. Like, when you think about it, 3.5 million consoles out the door in four days. That’s wild. And all this back-and-forth doesn’t even seem to faze them.

Oh! And randomly, I heard some funky games like Donkey Kong Banaza are sneaking onto Amazon’s pre-orders. But the Switch 2? Still playing hide and seek. It’s missing, vanished, like my last piece of pizza — completely unseen. What a ride.
