Ugh, so the Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here. And let me tell you, trying to snag one is like looking for a unicorn. Seriously, it feels like everyone and their dog wants in on this madness. Stores can’t keep up; shelves are basically empty five minutes after restock. And no, don’t get your hopes up for a Prime Day steal—discounts on the console itself? Forget it. Maybe you’ll luck out on accessories, though.
This thing’s larger than life, literally. It’s bigger than the OG Switch. I mean, those Joy-Cons? They aren’t made for tiny hands anymore. A new dock and whatnot—pretty neat, right? If you’re a hoarder of games like me (oops), you might want that microSD Express card ‘cause the 256GB storage is just… meh.
Get this, it’s got a 7.9-inch screen now. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the 1080p resolution is actually a thing. Remember when 720p was all we had? Now toss in the dock, and you’re talking potential 4K gaming. Cloud nine, anyone? But without the dock, expect up to 120 fps, maybe HDR, but hey, no promises.
Bundles are happening too, with Mario Kart thrown into the mix sometimes. Heads up—keep tabs on this wild ride because prices and stock are as steady as a wobbly table.
Oh, and if you’re stateside on Prime Day 2025—wanna know where to look? Antonline, Walmart, GameStop, Newegg, Best Buy, Target—they’re your go-tos. Last I checked, July 7th to be exact, but who knows if they’ll still have any.
For my UK friends, it’s almost the same chaotic dance. Places like ShopTo, Very, Argos… they’re playing musical chairs with stock. It’s kinda amusing but also a bit of a nightmare if you’re serious about buying one. Keep an eye out for updates—things are changing faster than my mood on a Monday morning.
Anyway, happy hunting or whatever. The Nintendo hustle is real, and missing out feels strangely personal, doesn’t it?
