Update:<\/strong>\u00a0After being completely MIA for a couple of months, the seemingly impossible-to-get console is popping in and out of stock at Best Buy. If it’s out when you visit, my advice is to try again a little later.\u00a0 <\/p>\n The \tcoronavirus<\/span>\u00a0pandemic has caused a huge upswing in videogame popularity<\/span> as millions continue to stay home. That’s left the Nintendo Switch nearly impossible to find since at least March, as the pandemic has disrupted the global electronics supply chain and sleazy resellers have been\u00a0using bots to scoop up what little inventory exists. Oh, and the\u00a0popularity of Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/span>\u00a0hasn’t helped, either.\u00a0 <\/p>\n But starting at the end of April, the\u00a0Nintendo Switch Lite\u00a0has sporadically returned to many retailer shelves, popping up at Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy and Target — and often disappearing just as quickly. We’re collating available stock here at the MSRP of $200, but note that pricing and availability change frequently. Please double-check before completing a purchase.<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/p>\n And no, you can’t connect this version of the Switch to your TV — that’s only the pricier $300 Switch<\/span> that remains out of stock nearly everywhere, though there are indications that shortage may finally begin abating soon. But if you need more encouragement to take the plunge on the Lite model, you can read\u00a0CNET’s review of the Switch Lite<\/span>. <\/p>\n Update<\/strong>: As of Aug. 3, there are no Nintendo Switch Lites available for online purchase for $200 at Amazon.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n Update<\/strong>: As of Aug. 3, there are no Nintendo Switch Lites available for online purchase for $200 at GameStop.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/p>\n Update<\/strong>: As of Aug. 3, there are no Nintendo Switch Lites available for online purchase for $200 at Target.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/p>\n Desperate for a Switch Lite?
