As reported by VGC , an alleged employee of Target shared a now-deleted
Reddit post (via X/Twitter ) showcasing numerous Switch 2 consoles in their packaging available in-store, albeit locked inside a cage so no one can get their hands on one.

The user claimed the store had received 40 consoles, 20 regular and 20 Mario Kart World bundles, confirming that the highly anticipated device is now
being distributed to retailers across the US.

The Nintendo Switch 2 launches globally on June 5, 2025, for $449.99 /
395.99, and $499.99 / 429.99 for the official Mario Kart World bundle, which comes with a digital copy of the game.

Breath of the Wild (Switch 2 Edition), and Tears of the Kingdom (Switch 2 Edition) will also launch the same day, alongside a collection of third-party titles like Cyberpunk 2077 , Split Fiction , Fortnite , and more. Target stores are receiving their Switch 2 stock and apparently as long as its
