Nintendo Switch 2 Launches Invite-Only Amazon Listings

by Evelyn Nov 17,2025

After a lengthy wait, Amazon has finally updated its listings for the Nintendo Switch 2. The product pages appeared much later than those of most other retailers, going live several weeks after the console's official release, but they initially lacked any purchasing options. While you still can't simply add the item to your cart, a new "Request invite" button has appeared, suggesting that the Switch 2 may soon become available directly from Amazon. You can visit the product listing and submit your request now.

There is no clear timeline for when Amazon will start sending out purchase invitations for Nintendo's new console. It's also uncertain how many Switch 2 units the retailer will have in stock.

The relationship between Amazon and Nintendo has been somewhat strained in recent years, with first-party Nintendo games not being sold directly by Amazon. It was only a few weeks ago, after the Switch 2 had already launched, that first-party games for the new console began reappearing on Amazon. Although some reports linked the missing listings to a disagreement over third-party sales, Nintendo officially denied these claims.

Many online shoppers prefer the convenience of Amazon. If this new "Request invite" feature on the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle listing signals an easing of tensions, that would be welcome news for customers.

Ongoing Prime Day Deals

The change to the Switch 2 listing conveniently coincided with the start of Amazon Prime Day 2025. Is this a deliberate connection? Probably not. However, if you're looking for accessories and games, this is an excellent opportunity to stock up. For shoppers hoping to avoid the Switch 2's price, used original Switch OLED models are currently on sale for $208, and Best Buy is offering significant discounts on a wide range of Switch games.
