The Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to the hugely popular video game console/handheld hybrid, proved to be one of the most sought-after items during the 2025 holiday season.

The console has been hard to find since its release last June, with shortages happening across the globe.

The Switch 2 launched with Mario Kart World, a new entry in the popular racing franchise. Since then, Nintendo has bolstered the new console’s lineup with games like Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokémon Legends Z-A, Kirby Air Riders and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

There are also a number of high-profile releases coming in the near future, from both Nintendo and other companies in the industry. This include Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, Resident Evil Requiem, Mario Tennis Fever and The Duskbloods, the newest game from Elden Ring developer FromSoftware.

The Nintendo Switch 2 typically retails for $449.99, with Nintendo offering a bundle which includes the console and a digital version of Mario Kart World. The game retails for $80, so this bundle has proven especially hard to find. Additionally, Nintendo has ended production on the Mario Kart version of the console, so it is only a matter a time before it disappears from store shelves.
