Nintendo's special edition Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 has officially arrived in stores this week, though the launch has been marred by significant pre-order disruptions. While the hardware is available, reports indicate that many consumers are facing unexpected delays in receiving their units.
Specific issues have emerged at major retailers regarding fulfillment timelines. Some customers who pre-ordered the console from Target have reportedly been informed that their shipments will not arrive until mid-November. Similarly, Walmart has cited a "supply chain delay" as the reason select locations cannot sell the hardware until next month.
Despite these initial hurdles, Nintendo has stated on multiple occasions that restocks are forthcoming. The company's assurances suggest that consumers who have not yet secured a unit may still have an opportunity to purchase the special edition console in the near future.
