It’s a big change following Nintendo removing listings for its products from Amazon starting last year. Bloomberg reported in June that Nintendo pulled the listings because third-party sellers sold games at prices “that undercut Nintendo’s advertised rates.” Nintendo and Amazon pushed back on Bloomberg’s report in statements to the publication but didn’t go into specifics.
If you request an Amazon invite, the product page will show a message saying that “if invited to purchase, you’ll get an email with a link that’s valid for 22 hours. We won’t be able to grant all requests.” I got an email notifying me about my request, too.
The Switch 2 has been a huge hit for Nintendo, becoming the fastest-selling game console of all time since its June 5th launch. If you are still looking for a console and Amazon doesn’t come through, retailers like Walmart and Best Buy have occasional restocks.
