- Walmart informed some customers just a day before release that their orders could not be fulfilled due to overselling, while still allowing third-party sellers to offer the console at inflated prices.
- On release day, some Walmart stores experienced supply chain delays preventing sales despite having stock, with customers advised they will eventually receive their orders but must wait.
- Target customers are also encountering issues, with reports of delayed shipments until mid-November or outright order cancellations for the Zelda Switch 2.
- These fulfillment problems highlight significant retailer challenges in meeting demand for the highly anticipated special edition console.
