The scramble to buy the first wave of Nintendo Switch 2 gaming consoles left a lot of fans in the lurch. Getting your hands on a Switch 2 of your own still takes some luck if you weren’t fortunate enough to snag a pre-order. One of the points of drama has been that Amazon wasn’t stocking the new hardware, reportedly due to Nintendo taking issue with the store’s third-party sellers. Until now! The Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World<\/em> Bundle is now finally listed for sale there.<\/p>\n

Before you dash to get the gaming console into your online shopping cart, there is a caveat. Buying the Switch 2 is only available by invitation. You can request an invitation, which appears to be a one-click deal if you’re logged in to an Amazon account. The auto-responder email I received didn’t offer any details about what might merit me receiving an invite. If you pass muster, though, Amazon will send an invite link that’s good for 22 hours.Requests that aren’t honored in this round of invites will be eligible for selection in the future, and Amazon explains “you don’t need to submit another request for the next three months.”<\/p>\n

So if you’re still on the hunt for a Switch 2 and a chance to play the delightful Mario Kart World<\/em>, it might be worth throwing your name into the Amazon lottery. And while there isn’t a Switch 2 Prime Day deal, it has conveniently arrived just as Amazon Prime Day kicks off with plenty of deals and steals from the retailer.<\/p>\n

Update, July 10, 6PM ET: <\/strong>This story was updated after publish with additional information on the length each invite request is valid for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
