No arguments needed, Nintendo Switch is the hottest video game console in the world right now. Well, sadly it's also impossible to buy one right now; even finding it available in stores and online is hard. Fortunately, that's not true! Consumers can easily buy a Nintendo Switch on Amazon right now and have it shipped in front of their doors in no time. Customers must pay a premium privilege but if they want to buy through retail, there is nothing available.

According to CBS Global, several GameStop locations around the United States recently received Nintendo Switch on Wednesday. This gives all gamers a rare opportunity to score a console in a brick and mortar store. Here are some instructions to track new shipments of Nintendo Switch and to have one.

If ever you know how the stock of new Apple devices such as AirPods and iPhones is so tight at launch, there are few websites that monitor and notify consumers when there are new shipments are coming into a particular area or store. Since the Nintendo Switch is so popular as of now and the supply is also tight similar to Apple devices, there's a website that does the exact thing intended for Nintendo Switch consoles.

The website NowInStock.net is one of the well-known stock trackers for special devices out there including the Nintendo Switch. This site has a special page dedicated to Nintendo Switch stock in which consumers can see all major online and in stores; you can see an indication next to each one that shows whether it is in stock or not. As what consumers can observe right now, the stock isn't available.

As the stock for the Nintendo Switch isn't available right now, free notifications can be made. Just visit their page to set up alerts and their official site will automatically notify you as soon as the Nintendo Switch is in stock. There's an option to configure special alerts just for specific stores. Another thing is that the site has also created a special Google group for instant alerts; this means you must sign up to receive special alerts every time any store or website has a new Nintendo Switch stock.
