With the Nintendo Switch 2 selling out across Canada, many buyers are being forced to consider inflated scalper prices. In this guide, we’ll help you find legit, in-stock consoles at MSRP — and where to get games for cheap too.
Why It’s Hard to Get One Right Now
Switch 2 restocks are limited and demand is through the roof. Most Canadian retailers only release small batches, and bots often snap them up in seconds. But all hope isn’t lost.
Trusted Retailers in Canada
- Best Buy: In-store only on launch. Use their website or app’s “Check other stores” tool — it shows exact stock counts at nearby locations. Many stores do have inventory, but staff may not always confirm over the phone, so rely on the online checker.
- Walmart: Currently available online with order limits. Also check local stores — they sometimes hold back units.
- GameStop: Currently available online with a limit of one per household. Also check local stores — they sometimes hold back units.
- Costco: Often bundles available at MSRP for members
- Amazon.ca: Fast restocks — save to Wishlist & monitor frequently
Tips to Avoid Scalpers
- Check early AM (6–9AM)
- Join restock alert groups on Reddit & X
- Use autofill and save your payment methods
