Orders for the $450 device, which will be released on June 5, are no longer available on the Walmart Inc., Best Buy Co. and Target Corp. websites. Nintendo fans reported initial technical hiccups due to the high demand, but many were eventually able to order the system, according to messages posted on X and other social media sites. Nintendo didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
