- Nintendo has confirmed that additional stock and restocks of the console and related software are planned, but warned that it will take some time before availability improves.
- In Europe, the console has appeared sporadically at retailers, with expectations that this pattern will continue until the official launch.
- Despite the surprise at the high demand for a gold, Zelda-themed Switch 2, Nintendo encourages customers to remain patient as they work to replenish supplies.
