Availability of Nintendo Switch 2 on Amazon
The Nintendo Switch 2 remains accessible on Amazon via an invitation system. The console, both as a standalone unit ($450) and bundled with Mario Kart ($500), became available during Prime Day. This marked Amazon`s return to selling first-party Nintendo items after a year-long absence. Amazon describes the Switch 2 as a `high-demand item with limited quantities,` though this seems relative given the reported sales: over 20,000 Mario Kart World Bundles sold in just two weeks.
While awaiting an invitation, customers can explore Amazon`s growing collection of Switch 2 games, accessories, and Amiibo. This article details the official first-party Switch 2 products recently added to Amazon`s platform, following a recent update to their official Nintendo store page. Further third-party accessories were covered in a previous comprehensive guide released at launch.
Official Nintendo Switch 2 Accessories at Amazon
In recent weeks, Amazon has stocked a full range of official Nintendo Switch 2 accessories. These include the new Pro Controller, Joy-Con 2 Controller two-packs and individual units, and racing wheels for Mario Kart World. Official carrying cases are currently out of stock at Amazon, mirroring availability at other major retailers. The following list also features popular officially licensed third-party accessories, such as Samsung`s 256GB microSD Express Card and Hori`s Piranha Plant Camera, noted for its aesthetic appeal rather than performance.
As of July 20, certain accessories, including the Switch 2 Pro Controller, are sold out on Amazon. However, the Switch 2 Pro Controller is available at Walmart for $84, a price point shared by Amazon for some items, which are listed one dollar below the Manufacturer`s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).

Nintendo Switch 2 Games at Amazon

Upcoming releases like Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV, scheduled for release later this week, are also available.

Neither Amazon nor Nintendo has officially explained the previous cessation of first-party Nintendo product sales by the online retail giant. In early 2024, Amazon halted sales of Nintendo Switch games, followed by the removal of popular Nintendo games, official accessories, and even Switch Online subscriptions. Walmart experienced a similar situation concurrently but resolved its dispute with Nintendo prior to the holiday season.
Great Third-Party Switch 2 Accessories
Amazon provides a wide and expanding array of third-party Switch 2 accessories. Given that official Switch 2 Pro Controllers and carrying cases are often out of stock, 8BitDo controllers and RDS Industries carrying cases are recommended alternatives. The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller, typically priced at $70 (sometimes available for $63), offers more customization than the official Pro Controller. RDS Game Traveler Deluxe carrying cases and bags, officially licensed by Nintendo, are generally half the price of Nintendo`s own cases. For instance, the Game Traveler Deluxe Large Carrying Case, comparable to Nintendo`s $85 All-in-One model, is priced at $40 and recently restocked on Amazon. RDS Industries also produces a durable hardshell carrying case for Switch Pro Controllers, available for $20 on Amazon.
