Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order surprise: it's in stock at Walmart with this trick


You can still pre-order a Switch 2 console with Mario Kart World from Walmart in the US, according to The Shortcut's research

Yes, 99.9% of the time, trying to add Switch 2 to your cart will result in an error message, or you may simply see it as “out of stock.” But long after the system has supposedly “sold out,” gamers keep telling Matt Swider on X that they were able to snag a console. What’s likely happening, based on our expertise from our years of PS5 restock reporting, is that customers are canceling their Nintendo Switch 2 orders, and every hours or so, a batch comes back in stock. Matt, a trusted technology expert with over 25 years of journalism experience and the former US Editor-in-Chief of TechRadar, can be found on social media through X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
