Summary
Best Buy yanked info about day-one Switch 2 availability from their site.
They also teased winning a Nintendo collectible, but that vanished too.
Nobody knows if folks without pre-orders can snag the console on launch day.
Man, the Nintendo Switch 2 launch, it’s like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. Best Buy pulled a disappearing act with their day-one Switch 2 info. We’re, what, less than a month from launch? And it’s already a circus of pre-order chaos and confusion. It was out there, and then poof, gone—like magic, but the annoying kind.
Nintendo’s usually smoother than this. But Switch 2? Nah. Some folks said Best Buy’s pre-orders were like, impossibly late or something. And, surprise, surprise, with all the tech glitches and out-of-stocks, it’s a mess. Honestly, it’s not clear if you’ll even find a console sitting on a shelf waiting for you that day.
Remember that tweet from Wario64? They caught Best Buy’s listing with a sneaky line about having “limited inventory” if you didn’t pre-order. Plus, a chance to win a freebie. Classic. But then, wait—snap, the whole line got deleted faster than free pizza at a party.
Best Buy’s Back-and-Forth on Switch 2 Stock
Maybe they spilled the beans too early? Or ran out of steam with inventory? Who knows. It’s a bummer if you’re hoping to walk in and just buy one. Especially if Nintendo decides to up the price later on.
Some analyst, somewhere, said Nintendo might chuck out 6 to 8 million units at launch. That sounds like a lot, right? But whether Best Buy’s got enough to sprinkle around or if anything will pop up post-launch? That’s just a guessing game right now.
