Switch 2 Sales Resume on My Nintendo Store Before May 25 Price Hike
This is the last window to buy a Switch 2 at the current price before Nintendo raises it on May 25, and the periodic stock drops mean availability is uncertain.
Reporting from 1 sources: Game Spark.
Nintendo resumed sales of the Switch 2 on the My Nintendo Store on May 19, with periodic stock additions planned. A price increase takes effect May 25, and the store will suspend sales from 19:30 on May 24 until the morning of May 25. The rush from the announced hike had caused sellouts.
Nintendo restarted sales of the Nintendo Switch 2 on the My Nintendo Store today, May 19, and said it will add stock periodically. The move comes after the May 8 announcement of a price increase for both the original Switch and Switch 2, effective May 25, which triggered a demand surge and sellouts at the official store and elsewhere.
The My Nintendo Store will suspend sales of the affected models from 19:30 on May 24 until the morning of May 25, regardless of remaining stock. Nintendo warned that the site may become extremely congested just before the suspension, potentially preventing purchases. For buyers hoping to avoid the higher price, the next few days are the last chance to secure a unit at the current rate.
