Nintendo Switch 2 preorders sold out almost immediately after retailers started taking orders. GameStop might be your only chance.

Unfortunately, the company has been inundated with "approximately 2.2 million people in Japan alone" applying to purchase the console via the My Nintendo Store. This number "far exceeds" expectation and "the number of Nintendo Switch 2 consoles that can be delivered" on the June 5 launch day.

2.2 million people have applied to buy the new console in Japan so far, which ‘far exceeds’ Nintendo’s expectations. Shortages of the Switch 2 look increasingly likely after Nintendo admitted today that it “cannot fulfill” all of the preorder applications it has already received through its own Japanese store.
