Nintendo Switch In Stock on Amazon, Prime Only, Act Fast

Heads up, everyone! If you're an Amazon Prime member, the Nintendo Switch is currently in stock at Amazon right now. This is only for the gray version. This is also the base $299 console on its own, no wacky $450 bundles with a bunch of stuff thrown in. You can find the link right here. I just checked this link and it's still available at the time of writing (the morning of July 7), but you're going to have to act fast because these never last long!

Nintendo has confirmed that it adjusted its production roadmap according to increased consumer demand. While Nintendo projected optimistic numbers for its first year, I don' think anyone was prepared for how quickly the Switch took off. A record launch month and a few strong showings in May, and here we are: still writing breaking headlines whenever the Switch appears in stock at Amazon or Walmart.

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, this month we're getting 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.
