Nintendo Switch 2 Listings Are Finally Live at Amazon – But You Have to Request an Invite First

AMAZON'S ONLINE PLATFORM, JUL 8 – Amazon introduces an invite-only purchase option for the Nintendo Switch 2 during Prime Day 2025 to manage limited stock amid past retailer tensions.

  • On Tuesday, Amazon listed the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World bundle with an invite-only system at Prime Day kickoff.
  • Over a month after launch, strained Amazon–Nintendo relations caused delays in listing the Switch 2, with issues over breaking on-sale dates and product availability.
  • Amazon employs a raffle-style invite system, with links valid for 22 hours and priced at $449 for the console and $499 for the bundle.
  • Amazon's invite system helps gamers access the Switch 2, with used Switch OLEDs at $208 and discounts at Best Buy, easing demand during Prime Day.
  • Eventually, the invite-only system may shift to a standard 'Add to Cart' option, signaling improved Amazon–Nintendo relations and more regular availability.
