Nintendo pulls Switch 2 from Amazon. Here's why, when it's back in stock online
Nintendo Switch 2 holds the title for the fastest-selling Nintendo game system ever, but those sales won't be coming from e-commerce giant Amazon.
A recent Bloomberg report suggested Nintendo pulled its products from Amazon's website due to disagreements over unauthorized sales from third-party merchants. Both Amazon and Nintendo have since denied the report, but Nintendo Switch 2 consoles still can't be found on Amazon's U.S. storefront.
Here's what we know.
Why are there no Nintendo Switch 2 console on Amazon?
Nintendo has been tight-lipped about why the new Switch 2 console is absent from Amazon's website, but denies any disputes between the two companies.

We do not disclose details of negotiations or contracts with retailers." Likewise, Amazon notes that "the claims made by Bloomberg regarding our relationship with Nintendo are inaccurate," according to reporting from tech news site Engadget .
