After another scalping disaster, Nintendo is restocking the Legend of Zelda Switch 2 – but seemingly only in the UK
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Nintendo confirmed it will restock the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary edition of the Switch 2 in the United Kingdom, after the initial launch sold out and scalpers pushed prices to nearly $850 on eBay. The company added a banner on the UK and Ireland Nintendo Store sites stating the console is sold out and will be replenished via the app. No similar banner appears on the US site, where the console remains sold out ahead of its October 29 launch. Physical stores in New York and San Francisco will carry the console at launch.
💡 Why It Matters
- · The restock gives UK fans a realistic chance to purchase the coveted console without resorting to inflated resale markets, a rare move that could curb scalping pressure on limited‑edition Nintendo releases.
