Nintendo of America and Amazon US have renewed their commercial relationship, bringing the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 games back to one of the world’s largest online marketplaces.
After experiencing a period marked by distribution challenges and product unavailability, fans and industry observers can now find select Nintendo Switch 2 titles available for preorder directly from Nintendo through Amazon US.
This development represents a significant step forward for both Nintendo of America and Amazon after a history of intermittent product listings and fluctuating partnership terms.
With the Nintendo Switch 2, scheduled for a global launch, the engagement between these two giants is set to benefit millions of fans who rely on Amazon for secure and timely delivery of gaming hardware and software.
Among the games now available for preorder are "Donkey Kong Bananza," "Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition," and the new title "Star-Crossed World." These releases carry strong anticipation following the Nintendo Direct presentations and promises of enhanced graphics and gameplay innovations on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.
Bringing these games to Amazon US not only restores convenience and choice for fans, but also signals the repair of a previously strained business relationship.
A spokesperson for Nintendo of America conveyed, in paraphrased terms, that the company is excited to provide more purchasing avenues for consumers and believes that renewed collaboration with Amazon will improve retail experiences across the United States.
Amazon, known for its vast distribution network, now presents official Nintendo listings for upcoming releases, ensuring product authenticity and customer confidence.
The background to this development includes several years in which select Nintendo titles—including both physical and digital products—were inconsistently available on Amazon, occasionally leading to supply gaps and frustration among the gaming community.
This restored partnership is particularly timely ahead of the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 hardware release and its lineup of flagship software scheduled for the platform’s launch window.
As of press time, preorder listings for "Donkey Kong Bananza," "Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition," and "Star-Crossed World" are live on Amazon US, allowing fans to secure copies from a trusted retailer.
With Nintendo's commitment to broadening distribution and Amazon's logistical expertise, both parties seem optimistic about the future of their partnership.
For gaming enthusiasts, the collaboration promises easier access to some of the most sought-after Nintendo Switch 2 games and a smoother retail experience as the next generation of Nintendo hardware arrives.
