Key Points:
- GameStop and Best Buy are hosting midnight launch events for the limited 40th anniversary Zelda Switch 2 console and Switch 2 Pro Controller, coinciding with the release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake on November 5.
- Online restocks for the Zelda Switch 2 console are expected at Walmart and Target on November 6, with potential additional restocks from other retailers like Amazon and the Nintendo Store.
- Nintendo acknowledged underestimating demand for the special edition Zelda Switch 2 console and Pro Controller, which remain sold out at most stores, prompting compensations such as Walmart issuing full-price eGift cards for canceled pre-orders.
- Fans can track restocks through the Zelda Switch 2 restock tracker by Matt Swider on X, which provides real-time alerts based on US retailer inventory updates.
- Nintendo's New York and San Francisco stores held sold-out midnight launch events requiring a Warp Pipe Pass, discouraging those without passes from queuing.
