Best Buy Restocks the Nintendo Switch 2: Grab This Dorm Room Essential!

You ever get that feeling like you’re supposed to be checking email or something, and then suddenly—bam!—you’re sucked into a rabbit hole about video games? Anyway—wait, no—where was I? Oh, right. Best Buy tossed out a heads-up about some new Nintendo Switch 2 consoles up for grabs online. Seriously, they’re like unicorns lately, rare as all get out since everyone and their grandma wants one.

Apparently, the Switch 2 is the thing to snag this year. Not that I get it—games aren’t really my thing. But folks’ve been snapping them up like they’re going out of style. Everything’s flying off shelves, like poof, no more stock, just an empty cart staring back at you. This could be your shot to grab one before heading back to the grind of school life. A little something for those dorm room chill sessions between all that "studying"—yeah, right.

Now, even though new units hit Best Buy, they’re keeping mum on how many they’ve got. Could be a handful, could be a truckload. Who knows. You can try to snatch one online, or maybe take a wild guess and check in-store stock. They’ve got the solo Switch 2 and this bundle thing with Mario Kart World. Both at regular prices, but, spoiler alert, no discounts here. There’s another bundle coming up for all you Pokémon fans, but it’s in pre-order land for now.

Okay, let’s talk nerdy for a second. The Nintendo Switch 2 jumps in to replace the old one, ditching the OLED screen—which is either cool or not, you decide—for this 7.9-inch thing. It’s got more pixels or something, 1080 of them, up from 720. Throw it in the dock, and you hit up to 4K on the big screen. Hardcore specs talk, right? Without the dock, it’s all flashy with 120 frames per second and HDR, if that even matters to you.

Still, no clue how long they’ll last on the shelves. The stock fairy seems to be working overtime lately. Just don’t let ’em fool you with any tricks—prices are all standard, no cheeky markups hiding there. If you spot one trying to be all sneaky, just wait it out. It’ll come back down.

Oh, and if you’ve got a thirst for more savings, dive into those other tech deals. PC parts, SSDs, monitors, you name it. It’s a treasure trove of gadget goodness if that’s your jam.
