Toilet paper and hand sanitizer don’t have anything on the Nintendo Switch.
The hybrid video game console has proven to be one of the most elusive items of 2020 due to supply chain disruptions related to the coronavirus pandemic, including production delays and unprecedented demand stemming from pesky reseller bots and this spring’s release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. (The hype has been extremely real.)

For a long time, the only way to get your hands on a Switch was by buying it secondhand through Amazon, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace, which usually meant paying way more than retail price (like, hundreds more). That’s been changing only just recently, but you have to be quick: Everyone and their grandma is still trying to order the console, too, so if you happen to find one available, add it to your cart ASAP. (There have been times over the past few weeks where we’ve seen Switches come back in stock and sell out within minutes — they often go faster than you can refresh the product page.)
Below, you’ll find a comprehensive rundown of all the retailers that currently have the Switch, the exclusively handheld Switch Lite, and Switch game/accessory bundles in stock online as of Aug. 21. (Spoiler: Best Buy and GameStop are looking to be your best bets right now.) We’ll update this post as items sell out and restock.
