The Nintendo Switch 2 is currently available on Amazon through an invitation-only system, with several bundles and accessories making their debut alongside the new console. The console offers a Mario Kart World Bundle for $500 and the standalone console for $450, both of which saw initial sales during Amazon’s Prime Day earlier this month. Notably, Amazon reports a substantial demand, claiming they have sold over 20,000 bundles within just a few weeks.
While waiting for an invitation, gamers can explore Amazon’s growing selection of Switch 2 games and accessories. Recently, Amazon updated their official Nintendo store page, showcasing first-party Switch 2 products. The accessories include various Joy-Con controllers, a Pro Controller, racing wheels for the Mario Kart feature, and more.
Availability for some accessories is mixed; while many are sold out, alternatives from third-party manufacturers are still accessible. Some popular items, like the Samsung 256GB microSD Express Card and Hori’s Piranha Plant Camera, are in stock. However, fans of the Pro Controller may find it sold out at the moment.
Gamers can also snag eight new Amiibo figures for the Switch 2, including characters from Donkey Kong and The Legend of Zelda. The amiibo line features figures that help enhance gameplay experience, each priced around $30.
As for the game lineup, fans can pre-order exciting titles such as Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and a new Mario Kart installment. These games are set to release soon, plus several others are already available for play.
Despite the excitement around the Switch 2’s launch, it’s noteworthy that both Amazon and Nintendo have not disclosed why first-party Nintendo products had previously been removed from sale on major platforms. This withdrawal began early last year and led to the unavailability of numerous Nintendo games and accessories.
For those eager to enhance their gaming experience, there’s a plethora of third-party accessories on the market, including customizable controllers and various carrying cases, which are praised for their affordability compared to official offerings.
