Nintendo Switch 2 Still Missing From Amazon US

News summary

Nintendo's Switch 2, which achieved over 3.5 million units sold in its first four days, remains unavailable on Amazon's U.S. platform following reports of a dispute over unauthorized third-party sales undercutting official prices. Nintendo and Amazon have both publicly denied any conflict, but the Switch 2 and first-party Nintendo games are not listed for direct sale by Amazon in the U.S., though they remain available at major American retailers and on Amazon in other countries. The issue centers around resellers importing products from Southeast Asia at lower prices, despite Amazon's attempts to label authentic products. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between Amazon and major brands over marketplace control, echoing past disputes with companies like Apple and Nike. Recently, preorders for upcoming Nintendo games, such as Donkey Kong Bananza, have reappeared as 'Sold by Amazon,' suggesting a potential improvement in the relationship. American Amazon shoppers remain unable to purchase the Switch 2 directly, but signs point to a possible resumption of select Nintendo product sales.
