It came as a shock to several gamers that they couldn’t pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2 console on Amazon, due to ongoing disputes between Amazon and Nintendo. This disagreement resulted in Nintendo games and products being removed from Amazon. The cause of the conflict remains undisclosed by either party, but it persisted until the launch of the Switch 2. However, recent developments suggest that these two major brands have now settled their differences.
Over the past day, various first-hand listings for potential Nintendo Switch 2 games have popped up on Amazon, noticed by @Wario64. These new additions offer pre-order options for physical versions of the following forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2 titles:
- Donkey Kong Bananza – $69.99, out July 17th
- Mario Party Jamboree: Switch 2 Edition – $79.99, out July 24th
- Kirby and the Forgotten Land – $79.99, out August 28th
The games are directly provided and delivered by Amazon, not by independent sellers. This implies that the longstanding dispute between Amazon and Nintendo might be reaching an end.
It’s long overdue, but now Amazon is offering Nintendo Switch 2 games: Donkey Kong Bananza ($69.99) at [link], Super Mario Party Jamboree Switch 2 ($79.99) at [link], Kirby and the Forgotten Land Switch 2 ($79.99) at [link]. #ad It seems they’ve managed to reach an agreement.

It’s worth noting that none of the three games mentioned are currently released titles for the rumored Nintendo Switch 2. This is intriguing because some fans have suggested that the dispute between Amazon and Nintendo might stem from Amazon’s history of violating street dates for pre-ordered items. The fact that these upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 games are now available for pre-order on Amazon could indicate that this conflict has been resolved, assuming it was indeed a major point of contention.
An intriguing point is that each of these games are scheduled for delivery slightly after their official release dates. This is significant because Amazon frequently guarantees delivery of pre-ordered items on the same day, so this advancement could be part of a deal to address worries about early shipments of the upcoming product. For instance, if the July 17th Nintendo release is promised for July 21st, it might be an attempt to allay concerns about premature deliveries.
Will Amazon Carry the Nintendo Switch 2?
Currently, when I click on the link for Nintendo products, it leads me to a page filled with third-party resellers. Unfortunately, an officially rebranded Nintendo Store page hasn’t popped up yet. This implies that while buying Nintendo products from Amazon, I need to stay vigilant and check the “sold by” section carefully to identify whether it’s directly from Nintendo or a third-party seller.
As a gamer, I’m on the hunt for the Nintendo Switch 2 console, but it seems like Amazon isn’t stocking it yet. There are plenty of pre-owned and refurbished original Switch consoles from third-party vendors, but no new, first-party Nintendo consoles are in sight in the U.S. Amazon or Nintendo haven’t dropped any hints about when the Switch 2 might officially be available on their platform. For now, it’s a mystery if these new games could be the first move towards more official, first-party Nintendo products gracing Amazon’s virtual shelves.
It’s plausible that these three pre-orders serve as a trial period for the two companies, testing whether they can collaborate effectively again. In any event, if you’ve been eagerly waiting to secure a pre-order for the upcoming Nintendo games, you now have the chance through Amazon. You can also opt for physical pre-orders at different retailers or digital pre-orders directly from the Nintendo website, depending on your preference.
