Nintendo Switch In Stock at Amazon, Neon Variation, Prime Only

Hurry up! The Nintendo Switch is up right now on Amazon Prime! Right now you can snag the variation with neon Joy-Con controllers for the base price of $299.99 -- no wacky bundles here cramming in a bunch of games and accessories and driving up the price. You can find the link right here.

We heard that multiple retailers were going to be getting in Nintendo Switch stock today, and it appears as though Amazon has received a bit as well. At the time of writing the listing is still live, but it won't be live for long. These always sell out within minutes. We heard that Toys R Us, Target, and GameStop would be receiving shipments of Nintendo Switches today as well, though, so if you miss out on this Amazon allocation then it's worth calling up your local stores and seeing if any of them will hold one for you!

If you're on the fence, keep in mind that we're currently in a long stretch of strong first-party games releasing for the Switch. ARMS took off and wow'd critics last month, we just saw the successful launch of Splatoon 2, Nintendo's flagship team shooter, we still have Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Super Mario Odyssey, which are both going to make enormous splashes when they release leading up to the holiday season.

Speaking of the holidays, I've heard a few friends mention that they're going to wait for the holidays to roll around before picking up a Switch so "hype can die down." Do not do this. This is a fool's plan. Come this Christmas, the Nintendo Switch and the Super NES Classic Edition are going to be two of the hottest gadgets out there, and you're going to be hard pressed finding either of them in stores or online. If you want a Switch, get it now.
