Nintendo's Switch 2 arrives on June 5 and preorders are largely sold out, but a few unexpected retailers say they will have the gaming handheld in stock.
Costco now has a dedicated page for the Switch 2, which says the console will be available for purchase on June 5. You can buy one unit per week, provided you have a Costco membership.
The store was not part of last month's preorder blitz. A note on its Switch 2 listing says, "This product is expected to be in stock and available for purchase soon. Check back again later."
Costco's website also only lists the Mario Kart World bundle at the moment. There's no price on Costco.com, but the bundle has been going for $499.99 for the Switch 2 console, Mario Kart World game, and 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online. The standalone Switch 2 costs $449.99.
There's no guarantee that the stock will be available at your local Costco. "Item may be available in your local warehouse, prices may vary," the website says.
If you're unable to get the console from Costco on launch day, there are a few other retailers you can try. Staples, GameStop, Best Buy, and Target are expected to have additional stock.
On the other hand, if you preordered the console, check your order as some users are seeing their purchases get canceled without reason.
