Walmart and Target set November 6 online restock dates for Zelda Switch 2
Walmart and Target will begin taking online orders for the Zelda Switch 2 special edition on November 6 after a supply-chain delay postponed the October 29 launch.
The Zelda Switch 2 special edition, released on October 29, will be available for online purchase from Walmart and Target starting November 6, according to retailer updates. Walmart cited a supply-chain delay that may prevent some stores from receiving the console in time for the initial release, and the point-of-sale block will remain in place through at least Friday, Nov. 6. As inventory arrives, orders will be fulfilled based on preorder priority and available stock.
Target also announced that its online listings will open on November 6, with in-store orders beginning on November 5. Other retailers are planning in-store events: Best Buy and Nintendo will hold midnight launches on November 5, while GameStop will allow customers to pre-order in-store via its website.
"Due to a supply chain delay, some stores may not receive the Nintendo Switch 2 Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition in time for its planned Oct. 29 release. To allow time to fulfill preorders and reshop inventory as needed, the point-of-sale (POS) block will remain in place through at least Friday, Nov. 6. As inventory arrives, orders will be fulfilled based on preorder priority and available inventory."
A restock tracker maintained by a gaming news outlet will continue to monitor inventory levels across retailers and issue alerts when the console becomes available.
