Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 restock update: the Nintendo Store remains your best bet
The Shortcut | Matt Swider • • technology
Key Points:
- The Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 launched on October 29 and experienced frequent, brief restocks on the Nintendo Store, with many customers facing stock errors but some successfully purchasing the console.
- Walmart, initially expected to have a major restock, delayed its availability to November 6 due to supply chain issues; Target will also offer the console starting that date.
- In-store midnight launches and preorder events are scheduled for November 5 at Best Buy, GameStop, and Nintendo stores in New York and San Francisco, with Nintendo requiring a Warp Pipe Pass for entry.
- Amazon was the only other retailer to hold an online restock, which sold out almost immediately, while the Nintendo Store remains the best place to try for restocks despite occasional frustrations.
- A dedicated Zelda Switch 2 restock tracker on X (@mattswider) provides real-time alerts to followers when new stock becomes available across retailers.
