Best Buy Restocks Nintendo Switch 2: Grab This Dorm-Room Deal Now!

So, you know that moment when you’re just scrolling through Best Buy’s site, maybe not doing anything in particular—and bam! Suddenly there’s news. A bunch of Nintendo Switch 2 consoles are back in stock. It’s like stumbling upon buried treasure, but in digital form, I guess. People have been scrambling to get these since they launched. I mean, if you haven’t heard, it’s basically the “it” thing this year for gamers. Stock’s been disappearing faster than free samples at a Costco on a weekend.

Now, here’s the catch: even though they’ve been restocking here and there, it’s still crazy hard to get your hands on one. Like, blink and you miss it. Great timing for those heading to college, though. I can imagine tossing one of these in your dorm. A perfect distraction—or a way to turn procrastination into an art form.

Best Buy’s got the goods, but how many exactly? Beats me. They’re keeping that card pretty close to their chest. Right now, you’re likely to snag one online, but if you’re more the in-person type, you’d better check if your local store’s got them. They’ve even got this bundle that throws in a Mario Kart World digital code. Classic. You’re looking at $449 for the console alone, while Mario joins the party for $499. There’s another bundle on the horizon too, featuring the Pokémon Legends update, but that’s still a pre-order situation.

The Switch 2 itself isn’t just a new paint job. They’ve traded out the OLED for a 7.9-inch screen and jacked up the resolution from 720p to 1080p. Plug it into the dock and, voilà, you could be gaming in 4K on a TV. Without the dock, you’re still looking at up to 120 fps and HDR, but hey, that’s more tech talk than my brain wants to process right now.

No clue how long these consoles will linger, but seeing restocks more often is a good sign. Prices? They’re sticking with the MSRP, so don’t get caught off guard if you see sellers trying to cash in more than the $449 or $499 listed. My two cents? Wait it out if prices creep higher; patience sometimes pays off.

Got savings on the brain? Dig around on the site for other deals—PC hardware, SSDs, gaming monitors. It’s all there if you want to go on a shopping spree or just gawk at tech you wish you could buy.
