I'm seeing Nintendo Switch 2 stock come and go in the UK, but nothing in the US yet – here's the latest on where to buy the console or check for restocks

At time of writing, the standalone console is in stock at Amazon UK! It's been flashing in and out of stock, though, so act quickly if you're keen and see that you can add it to your basket. Same goes for the Mario Kart World bundle too (currently out of stock).

Argos has stock of both the standalone console and the Mario Kart World bundle right now! And you can potentially pick it up the same day, depending on your postcode!

At the time of writing, Currys listings all state out of stock, but if you scroll down through the listings and click on the pink 'Buy a bundle' where you see it, you can add a bundle to your basket and check out! Definitely worth persevering with.

The PC-focused retailer currently has pre-order stock available of the console and Mario Kart World bundle that the retailer says it is expecting at the end of July - so there's a bit of a wait here.

ShopTo has the Switch 2 and Mario Kart World bundle up for back order right now, so you can place an order here if you're happy to wait.

Now, EE does have stock of the Nintendo Switch but only for its EE monthly mobile customers. Worth considering if you're one of those folks, and want to spread the cost.

We start off the tour of US retailers to check with Amazon US. It's been incredibly quiet up until recently when a listing page did briefly appear - so worth checking regularly henceforth, but nothing we can offer guarantees about.

Walmart has to be the next place to check as we've seen a history of flashes of restocks occuring - even though we've seen nothing recently. Avoid those inflated reseller prices, though!

I had big hopes for Best Buy coming through as the main seller of Switch 2 restock post-launch, but after a bombastic start on release day, it has gone quiet again. However, with its brick-and-mortar stores, this is definitely one to check both virtually and in-store.

Another retailer to check in-store as well as online, Target has been awfully quiet recently. Definitely one to keep close by, though, and to check regularly.

GameStop's listing pages have moved almost wholesale to language pointing shoppers to its stores, so I'm not hugely hopeful of online stock popping up here, truthfully.

Antonline is one of my favorite 'left field' retailers to check for gaming gear, and while it has been quiet recently, I have a feeling that this is one to keep an eye on...

Newegg remains an outsider, but it also remains one of my picks as a 'just in case retailer' or 'one to keep an eye on retailer'. Its listings have been live for a good while now, so it must be expecting to do something with them - maybe in the near future...

Not even going straight to the source at the Nintendo store has been a viable option recently. Sigh. However, if stock is going to appear online anywhere, then the official storefront is as good a place as any.
