Where to buy Nintendo Switch — that’s the question every gamer is asking. Despite its age, the Switch is still a highly sought after console (take that PS5 and Xbox). As a result, the Nintendo Switch can be hard to find. So we’ve put together a guide on where to buy the Nintendo Switch.
The good news is that finding where to buy the Nintendo Switch isn’t as hard as it used to be. Retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart are great places to start and usually have Nintendo Switch stock. That said, Nintendo Switch stock does tend to sell out fast, but you still have a fighting chance of scoring the console. More importantly, you don’t have to worry about bots and scalpers buying up every Switch console.

The console, which costs $369, includes a digital code for Monster Hunter Rise and a DLC that includes additional in-game content.

Where to buy Nintendo Switch Lite
The Nintendo Switch Lite has been easier to find in stock than the Nintendo Switch. You can usually find Nintendo’s handheld at Best Buy, Target, or GameStop. Just keep in mind that it sells out fast and the coral color is the hardest console to find.
The Editor’s Choice handheld sports a comfortable design, stellar game library, and is more travel-friendly than the OG Switch. In our Nintendo Switch Lite review, we felt the Switch Lite had a more sturdy design, whereas the Switch feels more like a display with two controllers on the side.
Where to buy Nintendo Switch — Nintendo Store
The Nintendo Store is back online! Prior to the pandemic, the Nintendo Store was a great source for new and refurbished Nintendo Switch consoles. However, the store had been shutdown since April. (It came back online on July 1). As we suspected, plenty more stock has been added, including refurbished Nintendo Switch consoles for $259. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Store at eBay — another great source for consoles — remains closed. We’ll update our post when it reopens.
Where to buy Nintendo Switch — Refurbished models
If you can’t find a new Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch Lite, your next best bet is to opt for a refurbished model. As with any refurbished purchase, you’ll want to verify the console’s warranty, who backs the warranty, and how long your device is covered. Although stock was out until very recently, there are no refurbished Nintendo Switch consoles available once again in the Nintendo store.
Meanwhile, Best Buy has had fluctuating inventory of the Geek Squad refurbished Switch Lite on sale for $194. It’s only $5 off, so go with this option only if new inventory is out of stock.
When to expect Nintendo Switch restock
NIntendo Switch restock events happen pretty regularly. In some instances, they’ll sell out fast, but you have a much better chance of scoring a Nintendo Switch than you do a PS5 or Xbox Series X console. The best advice we can give on where to buy Nintendo Switch is to simply be patient and check our retailers daily as they’re constantly restocking. Stores like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target are good starting points for Nintendo Switch restock.
