Still don't have a Nintendo Switch? Don't worry, there's more stock on the way

But you'd better be on the ball

Still don't have a Nintendo Switch? Don't worry, there's more stock on the way

Seriously, trying to get a Switch is proving to be just as hard as getting an NES Classic Mini, and we all know how impossible that is. According to Gamestop.ie there could be stock in as early as next week.

Sorry folks, despite a trickle of stock coming into Toys R Us and Tesco overnight it sold out within the hour. Whisper on the wind suggest you should still check in with your local shops though, just in case they've got any stashed away.

On the positive side of things at least Gamestop and Amazon have confirmed dates for stock. The now-Ireland-based branch of Gamestop is currently accepting pre-orders on their website for both Grey and Neon consoles. The telling sign here is in its title:'Reserve now for delivery next week'. As everything's in euros though, you might be paying a little more due to the conversion.

Amazon on the other hand are plodding forward and should be getting more stock on March 31st for both versions of the Switch. There are third party sellers offering to sell you the console of your desires for a wildly inflated price but it's up to you whether you go for them or not (I'd suggest not).

As always we'll be keeping a close eye on the stock daily, and best of luck Switch hunters.
