You know, there I was, just minding my own business when—BAM!—news hits me like a frisbee outta nowhere. Best Buy’s got this fresh batch of Nintendo Switch 2s. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve never been the kinda person to jump at these stock alerts, but something about this one stuck like gum on a sidewalk. These things have been rarer than my motivation to hit the gym.
Anyway—no, wait—so here’s the thing. They launched, and then poof! Gone in the blink of an eye. It’s like the universe decided everyone needs one. Pre-orders vanished faster than ice cream in July. And if you’re off to college, what a sweet excuse to grab one, eh? Alongside textbooks and ramen, throw a Switch 2 into that shopping list. I’m all about portable fun when procrastination calls after a cram session.
Best Buy’s sitting on new stock now, they say. No clue how big this stash is, but hey, worth a shot. It’s online for the easy-click lazy days, or you might find some if you decide to brave the wild—I mean, go to a store. There’s the vanilla Switch 2 or the Mario Kart World bundle, hitting you at $449 or $499. Who’s doing math these days? Also, there’s a Pokémon Legends bundle you can pre-order because who doesn’t love a bit of adventure with their debt?
Oh, do you remember how the original Switch had that OLED screen? Well, this baby swaps it out for a 7.9-inch thingamajig. Now it’s all 1080p, leveling up from 720p. Attach it to a dock and you might just end up in 4K heaven. Minus the dock, but with a decent game, it could hit 120 frames per second, or so they claim. HDR too, if you’re lucky.
Sneaky hint: stock is showing up a bit more. Still though, those prices? Rock steady at MSRP. No bargain hunts here, sadly. See something priced higher? Nah, let it pass, unless you’re feeling fancy.
Meanwhile, if you’re all about stashing cash or getting the bang for your buck, maybe check out some screamin’ deals on, well, other things. PCs, monitors, you get it. Just… options, ya know?
