Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Surge, Restocks Incoming

The Nintendo Switch 2 became the fastest-selling console ever following its June 5 launch, moving over 3.5 million units in the first four days and leading to widespread shortages at U.S. retailers. Best Buy will restock the Switch 2 in stores on July 1, with other major retailers like Walmart, Target, and GameStop expected to follow suit. The initial game lineup featured updated classics and a few exclusives such as Mario Kart World and Welcome Tour, but the 2025 release calendar includes anticipated titles like Donkey Kong Bananza and Super Mario Party Jamboree. Remakes like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 and crossplay-enabled games are also planned, as well as original titles like Shadow Labyrinth. Rumors persist about a new Pokémon Generation 10 game in development for the Switch 2, although no official confirmation has been given. High demand for the console is predicted to continue due to hardware improvements and a strong slate of upcoming releases.
