GameStop announced via press release that Nintendo Switch consoles will be available again in stores across the US on August 15. According to the release (provided to DualShockers) this is the first time since the console’s release that all GameStop stores across the country receive Switch consoles at once.
There’s no mention of a restock happening for the retailer’s online store for the standalone console. Several bundles are available through the retailer online, but if you want the console itself without any add-ons, it looks like you’ll need to hit a brick and mortar store tomorrow.
GameStop recently announced a new trade-in promotion that now seems geared to accompany the restock. A PS4 or PS4 Pro will net you $200 in trade in credit toward a Switch, while the Xbox One and Xbox One S are worth $150. A New Nintendo 3DS or New Nintendo 3DS XL will add $100 toward the new console. Finally, a Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL will go for $50.
The trade-in promotion lasts until August 20. GameStop didn’t specify how many consoles will be available per store, but it’s unlikely the stock of Switch consoles will hold out quite that long.
