Target is a great store to look at the Nintendo Switch. The kiosk is well set up and easy to find, and you can try out some game demos before you purchase some of them. The games for the console are located right next to the demo kiosk, so if you find a game you like, you can purchase it along with the Switch itself.

Walmart
Walmart might not be your first stop to check out the Switch, but it's just as good a place as any on this list. It may not have as many options as Best Buy or GameStop, but it's still a good place to start when looking at Nintendo Switch gear. It's a great go-to if you're still curious about the switch, but you don't want to get overwhelmed by gear as well as the console.
