Q: QuestionCan you have an alert when the Nintendo switch is back in stock

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: Switch 32GB Console - Nintendo Switch

• A:Answer You can save the Nintendo Switch to your list, but from my experience, I haven't gotten an email or push notification. I recommend still saving it to check it easier, and the Switch has restocked various times throughout the week. I have seen it restock in the early afternoon, so if you see the option to add it to your cart, do it fast and speed through the checkout process because it definitely sells out quickly.

Q: QuestionCurious to know if you guys have any idea when you will have the Nintendo Switch in stock? Obviously everyone is either sold out or trying to profit off the pandemic by selling it for double the price but figured i'd try and ask.

Q: QuestionWhen Will it be restocked!?

Asked 5 years ago by Prometheus.

This question was asked about the related product: Switch 32GB Console - Nintendo Switch

• A:Answer The answer to this question, which many people are asking, is not a clear cut answer. Many manufacturers are having a tough time getting parts to make the consoles themselves, causing problems for everyone who normally stocks these. I asked a store rep in my area and they said it could be within the next 24-48 hours, but the consoles sell out as soon as they come back into stock. You really have to religiously watch the website and refresh the page if you want a CHANCE at nabbing one.

Q: QuestionCould you please tell me why there is no option to preorder this product so that when the next shipment comes in, I could get one. I want to buy this product from your company but you're not giving me a way to do that.

Asked 5 years ago by Peter.

This question was asked about the related product: Switch 32GB Console - Nintendo Switch

• A:Answer They cannot do a preorder if there is no definite restock date.I reached out to customer service a few times and since there is such limited quantity they don't have many answers. However, the employee I spoke with on chat today was able to ship one out to me and send me an invoice. Keep trying!

Q: QuestionWhen purchased online with in-store pickup with a best buy card 6 month financing is available, but i was wondering if I bought it in-store with my best buy card if that 6 month financing is still something that will apply.

Asked 8 years ago by Jayson.

• A:Answer It should apply. I mean I believe the 6-month financing or 5% back thing is a card member offer, which should apply online or not as long as your a BestBuy card member. I would go in the store and ask anyway just to be sure...but if you see the Switch in the store, I would grab it before asking just to secure it. Also if you ask in the store and it does not apply, they may be able to help you out and give you that financing, I mean you're buying a semi big ticket item.

Q: QuestionIf I bought the switch at target can I bring it in to best buy to see if the can fix it? My son says when he is playing the console does not go the direction it wants, it moves on it's own without him touching it? Can geek squad fix it?

Asked 5 years ago by mom.

• A:Answer Yes, geek squad can fix it. Unfortunately, joy con drift is common. You can also try to send it to Nintendo they used to do free joy con repairs. For information on how to do that check this website: https://www.ign.com/wikis/nintendo-switch/How_to_Fix_Joy-Con_Drift#Send_it_to_Nintendo_for_a_free_repair_.28.2Fget_a_refund_for_previous_repairs.29 Info from the website: Here's how to send your Joy-Con in for a repair: go to support.nintendo.com/joyconrepair submit a ticket Here's how to request a refund for a previous repair: call in (US & Canada) to 1-855-548-4693 to get your refund. You can send in multiple Joy-con with one shipment. Again, the only downside is that Joy-con that can't be repaired may result in a replacement of a different color.

Q: QuestionHow many people can play at one time

Asked 5 years ago by Budd.

This question was asked about the related product: Switch 32GB Console - Nintendo Switch

• A:Answer Depends on the game and how you are playing the switch. If you are playing hand held, only you can play. If playing on the tv, you can play as many players as the game allows as long as you have extra controllers/joy cons. The switch only comes with two joy cons so you'll have buy more joy cons/controllers.

Q: QuestionHello, I'd like to pre order a Nintendo - Switch 32GB Console - Joy-Con. The color doesn't matter. Can I order it now?

Asked 5 years ago by Robyn.

This question was asked about the related product: Switch 32GB Console - Nintendo Switch

• A:Answer As the guy before me stated, BB staff doesn't answer questions here. However, the console has started restocking now but little by little. You may contact your local BestBuy to check but I did manage to finally buy my own a few Tuesdays ago when it was back on stock online. I would say to keep checking the first days of the week to see if it restocks online. Currently there's the Switch Lite in stock for all colors but if you don't want the Lite version then you're going to have to keep checking.

Q: QuestionHi I know nothing about the switch but my grandson would like one for his birthday. does this switch come with a bigger memory? and if so how big and how much of a price difference is it.

Asked 5 years ago by Memory.

This question was asked about the related product: Switch 32GB Console - Nintendo Switch

• A:Answer Theres 32 gigs built in. Which is plenty to download at least a couple of games from the nintendo store. So i suggest getting a 128 gig or more micro sd card to add to that memory. Micro sd cards range in price and quality. So id get one that’s licensed through nintendo to be safe. They sell them at walmart with the switch accessories. Hope this helps!
