A:AnswerCheck everyday it restocks randomly or call your local best buy. Your local best buy might be able to to tell you when they typically get their stocks. However, the pandemic is slowing down the process of making and shipping the switches so don't expect an exact answer because even Nintendo doesn't know exactly. Your local best buy can also tell you if they can hold the product for you.
A:AnswerThey usually get a restock a couple of times a week, and it's honestly more in the middle of the day. You just have to monitor it and act quickly when it is in stock. I recommend using a website to setup an in-stock alert for you.
A:AnswerThey seem to be releasing stock every few days.... but the stock is only available for a short time so you have to be quick. Today the console was available for about 30 min before they sold out.
The advice given below was spot on. I downloaded the Hotstock app to my phone and hat it tell me anytime Best Buy had them in stock (as well as a few other vendors). I received a few false calls..... but within 48 hours of the download I was able to purchase a console at Best Buy. You have to be quick (as in got right to the website for purchase immediately) and it helps if you are automatically logged into BB with your shipping and payment details. This is what worked for me... and I'm happy I followed the advice outlined below.
A:AnswerDownload HotStock and it will alert u when there is a restock I got it and it notified me that it was restocked so I was able to get a Nintendo switch
A:AnswerThe only sites you can rely on are is target or GameStop, Other websites resell them at a higher price then normal due to people using purchase bots to resell the product for a fortune, you might have to end up buying a switch lite (which are less demanded) or buy the expensive version from other sellers.
A:AnswerIt gets restocked randomly throughout the day, so keep checking often. I started using the website Zoolert which tracks the stock of Best Buy and other stores then notifies you with an audible alert when something is back in stock (just keep the tab open and it'll keep refreshing every minute). I have yet to get a Switch myself and have been trying for the past week. You gotta be really fast as soon as it becomes available because it disappears quick, and I don't think Best Buy reserves it for you when it's in your cart until you've bought it. This happened to me when I had a Switch in my cart and was about to enter in my payment info only to be told that the Switch was sold out.
A:AnswerWhat I did to get mine was once it was in the cart, refresh the screen then click checkout over and over. After about 20 minutes I was able to get through and make the purchase.
A:AnswerI saw that restocking just happened in the last 48hrs. I received my notification for stock alert and clicked the link and saw Add to Cart was available. I had actually already gotten one but when I was still looking I signed up for stock notifications. Looks like they notify exactly when inventory is entered into system.
A:Answercheck everyday at all different times. i did that and got my hands on one last night around 5pm after waiting a whole month. i think monday’s are the restock days but it might be more than once a week. refresh and check daily!
A:AnswerI checked the website every day and I luckily was able to get one last month. the product is extremely popular and they only come in small stocks. So when there are more switches there will only likely be one or two available ( a single-digit number for sure).
A:AnswerI’ve been trying to get one for my grandma so we can interact everyday.. it’s getting disheartening trying to get it, I’ve stayed up for two days now.. I’m sure the need to have one will die down soon tho
A:AnswerI know! Everyone is seeking these devices like crazy lately and all I know is Nintendo said "we apologize for the inconvenience" and that there are plans to send more but no one knows when!
A:AnswerIt doesn’t use disk like the WiiU, it uses small game cartridges. WiiU games will not work unless you can find a digital download for the Switch.
A:AnswerIt comes with 2 joycon controllers. Some games you can use them separately for two player operation and some games require you you use them together on the joy con grip that they both connect to for one player operation - for these games you would have to get a second set of joycon controllers and joycon grip for two players.
A:AnswerYes for non-digital purchases.
If you have a cartridge game it will always work with or without internet access.
If you buy games digitally on the Nintendo Online Store you will have to check in to an online network once every 7 days to verify you purchased the license to that software you want to play.
A:AnswerSo the bundled version is the Switch version 1 while this one is version 2.
So let's discuss the key differences between the two.
Screen:
V2 has a brighter screen with better warm colors. Resolution is the same on both. 720p when in handheld mode while 1080p while docked.
Battery Life:
V1: 2.5 hours to 6.5 hours
V2: 4.5 hours to 9 hours. (Upgrade is due to a better processor which the device doesn't get as hot either)
I hope this helps!
