Amazon Begins Limited Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Via Invitation in US

Amazon has resumed listing the Nintendo Switch 2 console in the US, allowing customers to request invitations to purchase either the standalone console or the Mario Kart World bundle. This move marks a renewal of the relationship between Nintendo and Amazon after a period during which Nintendo removed its products from the platform due to pricing disputes with third-party sellers. The invitation system is designed to curb scalpers, with selected customers receiving a purchase link valid for a limited time. The Nintendo Switch 2 is praised for its enhanced features, including a brighter 7.9-inch HDR touchscreen, up to 120 frames per second, and a dock supporting up to 4K resolution. Pricing aligns with standard expectations, with the bundle priced at $499 and the console at $449.99, and Amazon's participation adds a significant retail option alongside Walmart and Best Buy for this highly sought-after console.
