TL;DR: As of Aug. 19, GameStop has several Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite bundles in stock starting at $214.99.
After a months-long scarcity, Nintendo’s elusive console is creeping its way back in stock online.
We’re talking, of course, about the Nintendo Switch, a hybrid system from 2017 that can be played as a handheld device or on a TV. Both the regular Switch and its exclusively handheld version (2019’s Switch Lite) have been difficult to track down since early spring thanks to a combination of quarantine boredom and Animal Crossing hype, but from the looks of at least one retailer’s current stock, the tide is (ever so slowly) turning.
SEE ALSO: ‘Animal Crossing’ helped Nintendo increase profits by 400 percent. Yep, 400.
For what will probably be a limited time, several Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite bundles are up for grabs at GameStop starting at $214.99. Keep in mind that these bad boys are only available online and will take a few days to ship to your doorstep. (At the time of publication, we’re seeing delivery dates of Aug. 24 to 26.)

You’ve got two options when it comes to the Switch Lite, the first being an Animal Crossing-themed bundle (pictured above) that includes a turquoise console, a screen protector, a special edition carrying case, and a copy of the game itself. Get it here for $299.99.
If you’d prefer to start your Switch career from (almost) scratch, you can also just bundle a coral or yellow Switch Lite with one of those screen protectors for $214.99 — order one here.
