Nintendo made the rounds across mainstream media to promote the new console. On The Jimmy Fallon Show, Bowser and Bihldorff showed off Mario Kart World running on Switch 2, even gifting the host an exclusive Nintendo-themed varsity jacket.
On CBS Mornings, Doug Bowser addressed broader concerns like U.S. tariffs and international supply chains. The key message: Switch 2 production is secure, and Nintendo aims to keep store shelves stocked through summer and the busy holiday season.
Avoiding a Repeat of the Switch 1 Shortages
When the original Nintendo Switch launched in 2017, demand far exceeded supply, leading to long wait times and resale chaos. Nintendo seems keen to avoid that situation with Switch 2. According to Bowser, “We’ve learned a lot, and we’re ready.”
Final Thoughts
Nintendo’s rollout for Nintendo Switch 2 stock is clearly more coordinated than past launches, and the media push shows how seriously they’re taking global demand. Whether you’re waiting for Mario Kart World or the next wave of launch titles, supply may not be the issue this time—if everything goes to plan.
