Nintendo Switch - updated - got one :)

[gretchenindisguise]

Has anyone had any luck finding a Nintendo Switch lately? We've been playing our 11 or 12 year old Wii and I think it's finally time for an upgrade - but I can't find one anywhere. Thanks covid.

updated - got one! thanks for the nowinstock tip. I signed up for alerts this morning and was able to snag one from gamestop. 

Now to decide what games to get!

I have seen them randomly show up at our local sams:Walmart but mostly the lite version.

My DH also wants one for his birthday in June. I’ve been stalking Best Buy with no luck so far.

A friend posted on FB that she finally got one from game stop. I didn’t realize they were open again. If you don’t have one of those by you, try a smaller gaming place?

I was laying in bed last night and it kept randomly showing as available, but by the time I checked out it was gone again.

What’s the lite version? Is that one no good or something that it’s the only one I can find? I don’t know anything about the switch I just want to play animal crossing.

We finally managed to get on early May from Costco online.

The lite version is handheld only and doesn’t connect to the tv.

Lurker here, but I would keep trying Best Buy. They've had them in stock on and off all week. Just keep checking and refreshing the site. It took a lot of tries but I was finally able to buy one a couple of days ago.

Also check out the comments section in this link: www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/consoles/nintendoswitch/ Lots of helpful tips and updates about where to find Switches in stock. Good luck!

We gave up and just got the lite. It's perfectly fine...I doubt we would have ever hooked it to the tv anyway because that's just more equipment to buy.

I got one on Thursday morning from my local Target. Came into stock around 2am online and my brother purchased for me (he’s a gamer and always up so I asked him to check for me online) for pickup and went to pick it up when they opened.

My coworker has been checking bestbuy online over a week and she got one Friday.

Very cool. Hopefully they are becoming a bit less rare.

Thank you!

I got a Lite mostly to play Animal Crossing. I also use it for Mario Kart now. I think it’s great. I’d say the only downside is you can only play games by yourself.

I don't really go here, but I signed up for alerts on nowinstock dot net and was able to snag a bundle from GameStop about 10 days ago. I'm still getting the alerts and they pop up every other day, but they sell out really fast. You have to be ready to jump on it.

You probably won't see this, but I just got an alert that they're in stock on Amazon, the grey joycon version

Thanks for the heads up. Just checked and they're back up to 550+. I'll sign up for the watch - thank you.

One of our local Walmart’s had 10 this morning son maybe keep a watch there too.

I signed up for alerts on stock informer, and I was able to grab one from Amazon last week.

DH bought a refurbished one on ebay.
