🎮 Switch 2 Selling Out in Minutes — Gamers Fighting Bots, Scalpers, and Each Other

By Slick Voltage — June 29, 2025 - LostNachos.com

If you thought launch week was bad, think again. Nintendo’s Switch 2 is still vanishing within minutes every time new stock hits shelves — and the chaos is spreading faster than Mushroom Kingdom gossip.

Major retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop have all quietly dropped restocks this week — but unless you had lightning reflexes or a bot army, you were out of luck.

🔥 What’s Happening:

• Walmart restock lasted 3 minutes.

• Target bundles sold out while still “in cart.”

• UK bundles popped up, but pricing (£429+) gave scalpers even more ammo.

• Third-party sites? Expect to pay $700+ for a $399 console.

One buyer claimed on Reddit that they watched the “add to cart” button gray out mid-click.

📦 The Botpocalypse

Retailers are using queue systems and verification captchas, but bots are still beating out humans in most cases.Meanwhile, TikTok is filled with “How I scored 3 Switch 2s” flex videos from resellers, further fueling the fire.

📉 Demand Only Growing

Nintendo hasn’t announced when the next wide restock will be — but with major titles like Death Stranding 2, Mario Kart World, and Donkey Kong: Jungle Havoc optimized for Switch 2… this frenzy is just getting started.

💡 Pro Tips from the Trenches:

• Use store apps, not browsers — they update faster.

• Sign up for paid memberships (Walmart Plus, Best Buy Total).

• Don’t buy from scalpers — the markups will fall.

  
  

Bottom line: The Switch 2 is the hottest thing in gaming right now — and unless you’re lucky, fast, or packing an auto-clicker, your best bet is to wait out the madness.
