Is the Nintendo Switch 2 now available on Amazon?

The gaming world recently welcomed a new record setter, the much-hyped Switch 2. Within just 4 days of its formal launch on June 5, 2025, the console managed to move 3.5 million units, becoming Nintendo's fastest-selling console by far.
More than 3 million units were said to have shipped on launch day, further entrenching Nintendo's multifaceted presence. With new features such as online voice and video chat methods, and with next-generation hardware improvements, Switch 2 looks to be more of an overhaul rather than a simple successor.
A Complicated Wait in India
While gamers in the U.S., Europe, and Japan have begun to explore portable play of the new level, Indian fans find themselves with a very complicated wait.
Nintendo has yet to officially release its Switch 2 in India, leaving fans in the lurch as far as price and purchasing options. Meanwhile, in the absence of an official release, the grey market has been quietly filling that space.
Amazon India is now listing the Nintendo Switch 2 at a ridiculous markup of ₹75,999, almost twice the U.S. MSRP of $449 (roughly ₹37,000).

No official release was announced, and so Switch 2 games have been trickling into Amazon India. Hogwarts Legacy is retailing at about ₹4,000, with pre-orders opened for Donkey Kong Bonanza, Super Mario Party Jamboree, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land (Switch 2 Editions). From the U.S. listings, these are being offered at top dollar ranging from $69.99 to $79.99.
For Indian gamers eager to get their hands on the Switch 2, the grey market appears to be the only avenue, but there is risk involved.
Warranty may be an issue apart from the high prices. Nintendo's international warranty usually excludes India, which means that buyers will have to go-it-alone in case of damage or defect. Besides, the after-sales services are barely enough to support the customers.

Is It Worth It?
The Switch 2 brings cool upgrades and new games that'll keep you hooked for hours. But if you're careful with your money, it might be smart to wait for it to hit Indian stores. Nintendo's been slow to focus on India in the past, but with sales through the roof and more people wanting their products, it could happen sooner rather than later.

PU plans multi-year expansion of research ecosystem under IDP 2025
1 2 Chandigarh: Panjab University has outlined a multi-stage strategy to expand its research and innovation ecosystem as part of its Institutional Development Plan (IDP) 2025. The roadmap includes the establishment of new research centres, funding support for faculty and scholars, incentives for patents and publications, and integration of undergraduate and postgraduate students into research activity. The plan aims to align university research with societal and industrial needs while supporting India's goals under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. It proposes a phased implementation over five years, beginning with the creation of core infrastructure and research clusters in selected disciplines. In the first phase, the university intends to identify thrust areas and set up laboratories and core facilities. Faculty will be encouraged to take up at least one research project and establish national or international collaborations. Weekly research group meetings involving UG and PG students are planned at the departmental level. Subsequent phases include increasing the intake of research scholars, expanding interdisciplinary PhD programmes, and raising the value and number of fellowships. The plan also recommends the publication of internal research journals, seed funding for new faculty, and the involvement of guest faculty in research activities with mentorship from senior professors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Research topics outlined span across sciences, engineering, law, environment, social sciences, public health, data science, and AI. The university also proposes dedicated funding for training in patent filing and research commercialisation. The IDP includes creation of incubation centres, support for startups, and a framework for industry-sponsored projects. Panjab University plans to strengthen its consultancy system, develop a web portal for faculty expertise and services, and establish joint research labs with industry partners. Notably, the plan comes at a time when the university has acknowledged areas for improvement in its research output. In the 2024 NIRF rankings, Panjab University's score in the research dropped to 42.01, down from 46.65 in 2023—its lowest in nine years. The plan sets performance benchmarks for each year, including increased publication in indexed journals, filing of patents, organisation of conferences, and the setting up of research databases and monitoring systems. A Research Advisory Council has been proposed to oversee implementation. The university has also identified long-term goals such as participation in international research consortia, hosting global faculty, and establishing research chairs. The IDP was submitted to the Ministry of Education earlier this year.
