Nintendo sends stores “Sold Out” signs for Switch 2 just before release

by

In preparation for the upcoming official launch, Nintendo has been providing “Out of Stock” notices to retailers, as the big day is nearly here.

It appears that the upcoming release of the Nintendo Switch 2 is generating quite a buzz, with Nintendo expecting strong sales that could potentially lead to a quick sell-out. In fact, some retail employees have shared pictures online showing “Sold Out” signs for the Switch 2, which were provided by Nintendo itself.

Nintendo sends stores “Sold Out” signs

It seems likely that Nintendo intends to put these signs in retail stores, given the rapid sale of pre-orders for the Switch 2 on multiple websites upon its April release. With such strong demand, it’s reasonable to expect a swift sale once they become officially available.

And guess what? The Switch 2 releases on June 5, 2025. That is literally in two days.

A Reddit user shared a post, stating, “Received these signs from Nintendo; they’re quite funny.” The post continued by displaying a picture of a pile of ‘Switch 2’ signs labeled as ‘Out of Stock.’

This demonstrates that Nintendo understands their global appeal, which makes acquiring the console at launch rather challenging. May your odds be better than those dealing with scalpers!

Switch 2 releases in two days; Nintendo sends out warning NOT to peel the cover

Typically, when you acquire a fresh console or gadget, it comes with a protective film on its screen. Removing this film is usually an indication that the item is ready for use. But Nintendo is changing the game with the Switch 2; instead of a film, it seems they will be employing a different method of protection.

Yesterday, the company advised against removing the protective screen cover from the device as soon as you get it. Since people often overlook warnings like these out of routine, it’s important to take note and keep the cover on for safety reasons.

Are you planning to try to secure the new Nintendo Switch 2 when it’s released, or are you going to wait until more units become available in stores?
