Capcom has officially unveiled Resident Evil 9, or Resident Evil Requiem as it is officially known. Rumors surfaced all over the net the last week about what appeared to be an imminent upcoming reveal, and it is now officially here. Scope out the announcement trailer below. 

Update 6/7: The re-stock units went live last night and, you guessed it, quickly went out of stock shortly thereafter. Stay locked to 9to5Toys for more updates.

9to5Toys has it on good authority that Walmart will have a re-stock of Nintendo Switch 2 units tonight! We unfortunately do not have an exact time as to when this might happen but you’ll want to stay locked to our X (Twitter) feed for updates the minute the consoles go live. 

Summer Game Fest 2025 is set to take the stage today for lengthy live stream directly from YouTube Theater in California. The fifth annual gaming showcase has quickly become one of, if not, the biggest event of the gaming calendar (save for the Switch 2 bonanza this year of course), and it is once again set to debut hours worth of game reveals, world premieres, updates, and much more. 

We are now onto day 2 of the Switch 2 launch. We saw another short blast of console availability early this morning at Target (we will keep a close eye throughout the day for more), but we wanted to once again highlight all of the new Switch 2 releases that are still in stock (at the time of writing) as well as touch down to inform folks about a couple new eShop sales that went live over the last 12 hours or so: the Devolver Digital event from $2.50 loaded with some brilliant indies and the Monster Hunter eShop sale from $10. But now it’s on to the Switch 2 games  now available for purchase that released yesterday.

Nintendo Switch 2 is now available at Target, including both the Nintendo Switch 2 Console and Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle. While it wasn’t the midnight ET we and other folks thought it might be – it took until a few hours later for Target’s listings to go live but they are still holding strong if you’re looking to grab a console this morning and they might not (probably won’t) last for much longer. Go, go, go! 

Update 6/6 at 4:15 a.m.: Nintendo Switch 2 now available at Target, including the console only and the Mario Kart World bundle:

• Nintendo Switch 2 Console
• Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle

Nintendo Switch 2 has now officially released and is available for purchase online (or will be very soon – midnight ET). Years in the making, and years of waiting, it has finally happened and the next-generation of Nintendo gaming is now out in the wild. If you’re not picking up your pre-order in-store, waiting for it to land on your doorstep tomorrow morning, or lining up to buy one on location right now, Walmart and others now have the new console up for sale!

Walmart will be your best source to buy one tonight:

Switch 2 finally released early this morning at midnight, and while the fresh online re-stock at retailers like Walmart, GameStop, and Costco was limited at best, not all is lost. There are additional Switch consoles scheduled to go live starting as early as later tonight and we are once again here to make sure you get a shot at them. 

While we have seen some mobile focused gaming gear from Belkin in the past, alongside some other odds and ends, it is officially entering the gaming accessory space today with its new Charging Case for Nintendo Switch 2. It is now available for purchase and you can get all of the details below. 

Happy Switch 2 launch day folks! I hope everyone has had a chance to secure their pre-orders or took advantage of our midnight coverage to land a console lates last night (don’t worry if you didn’t, there’s more to come tonight). It is a big day for Nintendo and there’s a whole lot more than just consoles being released today, including all of the day 1 launch games, a whole slew of accessories, and much more. So for today’s daily console games feature, we are highlighting everything Nintendo released for Switch 2 launch day. 

Nintendo Switch is finally ready to take the world by storm tonight for the long-awaited launch day, with consoles and the Mario Kart World bundle set to go live at Walmart once again, so let’s take a quick look at the availability on the official accessories while we are at it. 

This is it folks – Nintendo Switch 2 finally launches on June 5 and here’s how to buy one starting tomorrow night. Loads of 9to5Toys readers were able to score a pre-order already, but if you didn’t you will have a chance to land one in under 48 hours now. Head below for details on where and when to score a Nintendo Switch 2 starting tomorrow night.

Game Traveler’s officially licensed RDS cases and accessories have been go-to options at affordable prices throughout the current Switch generation, and now with the next-gen set for release tomorrow, the new Switch 2 RDS case collection has arrived. Now available for purchase on Amazon starting from $19.99 Prime shipped, the collection consists of six Switch 2 cases of varying style and form-factor. Scope them out below. 

The release for the long-awaited next-generation Nintendo console is fast approaching now, so let’s take a look at the complete Switch 2 day 1 launch game collection. It’s all about the games after all, and while many of us will likely be popping in a copy of the new Mario Kart World the second we get our hands-on the new Switch 2, there is a rather extensive list of over 20 Switch 2 games that will be available on day 1. 

Switch 2 at Walmart – midnight ET June 5 and June 6

Update 6/4: HORI’s officially-licensed Nintendo Switch 2 Piranha Plant Camera is now back in-stock at Walmart.

The all-new Nintendo Switch 2 Camera is cool and all. It has some sweet tracking features, appears to seamlessly integrate into a number of Switch 2 exclusive games, and we had a blast testing it out in person yesterday alongside Switch 2. But it’s not a Piranha Plant, and it can’t close its mouth like this official-licensed HORI Switch 2 cam that recently surfaced online. 

Today, during the PlayStation of Play, Sony officially revealed Project Defiant, the “the first wireless fight stick designed by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PS5 and PC.” Scope out the details down below.

Best Buy has confirmed it is only offering units in-store tonight, Target said it won’t have units online until June 6, and Walmart has confirmed units will be available on June 5 without quite mentioning the midnight ET start time we expect, but GameStop will for sure.

Today is the day folks and it all starts very soon. The big Summer Game Fest shows takes the stage on Friday followed by the Xbox showcase this upcoming Sunday, but Sony is kicking off the big summer gaming showcases today before the Nintendo Switch madness ensues later this evening and tomorrow. 

Everything you need to know about Nintendo Switch 2 has been collected into one handy guide for you below for tonight’s midnight launch.

The Switch accessories have been flooding in from third-parties over the last month or so and the new Dbrand Killswitch controller case. The Killswitch is custom made package designed to wrap your Switch 2 in a rubbery, grippy case while still allowing the system to completely playable while on-the-go and allowing folks to customize the look of the next-gen Nintendo with the brand’s extensive lineup of skins. It is also now on sale for $60.

The summer gaming showcase season is upon us and one of the last holdouts has officially entered the ring – Sony has now confirmed the next summer State of Play showcase and it goes live tomorrow. 

Now less than 48 hours from the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we have some potentially great news for folks who might have had their initial Walmart pre-order cancelled. It seems the retailer is now reversing these cancellations and giving folks a chance to secure their initial pre-order after all. 

Walmart has now officially confirmed with 9to5Toys that it will be offering Nintendo Switch 2 consoles both online and in-store this week. We very much expected Walmart to get in on the action, but it was all speculation up until now.
