If you missed your chance for a Nintendo Switch and all the Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe hype has you depressed out of your gourd, cheer up: Toys ‘R’ Us will be receiving a shipment of consoles on April 28.
The Nintendo Switch restock was initially confirmed on Reddit here by a confirmed Toys ‘R’ Us source who deleted their posts after the story began to receive media attention.
A Toys ‘R’ Us representative told GameSpot that all Toys ‘R’ Us stores across the United States will have a Nintendo Switch restock. Of course, the restock will provide only a "limited inventory" of the consoles this Friday, April 28, because when was the last time Nintendo provided enough inventory to satisfy demand anyway? (See: Amiibos, NES Classic. Damnit Nintendo, why won’t you let us love you?)
"Like our previous inventory drops of this hot item, we recommend that customers get in line at their local store before the doors open at 10 AM on Friday," the spokesperson stated.
Earlier this week, Best Buy also announced that it would have consoles available on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ’s April 28 launch day.
We gave Mario Kart 8 Deluxe a 4 out of 5 in our review: “Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U was arguably the first must-own title for that console, and everything that made it great comes over to the Nintendo Switch with updated graphics and the ability for owners to do some racing on-the-go, while new added features give more depth to gameplay,” wrote reviewer Phil Martinez.
