I'm afraid it's going to be FO'Not'MO for many non switch owners.

im elligable but idk if I will pull the trigger.

US preorders go live at 11pm CT tonight right?

Not the ones from Nintendo Directly (that those who signed up interest for). I think those emails dont go out until the first week of May. For the retailers outside of Nintendo Directly, i believe its tonight at the time you stated.

 

[Glass Joe]

I got in pretty early and I'm pretty sure I'll meet the requirements, but the way they're doing this is kind of fucked.

If I assume I'll get one and I'm wrong, all the other places doing pre-orders will be long done.

So I guess I'm going to cover my bets and hopefully get a preorder in at Gamestop or BestBuy soon. If that doesn't work, I'll have this to hopefully fall back on.

Trying to grab an online order from walmart tonight.
Gamestop in person tomorrow (will cancel other if I can get it there)

Nintendo is my safety net.

Hoping to take my boys to their first and probably last midnight launch, which is why I'm hoping for Gamestop preorder.

 

[Kataploom]

Furukawa's apology looks to like a ver Japanese way to brag about sales prospect lol

This is going to be my strategy too: Walmart and Target at midnight tonight. If that fails, I will drag myself to the nearest GameStop tomorrow. If I don't get one there, hope and pray that Nintendo decides to reward me for being a reliable whale.

The nearest Best Buy is like 100 miles away, so that's off the table, sadly.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

One more hour. It has been an honor shitposting with you gentlemen.

I'll see you on the other side (at 12:03 when all of the preorders are gone).

I'm trying to add my payment method to the bestbuy website and it's not even loading. They must be getting hammered already

I got through using another browser. I went with Edge since FireFox was stuck on a verify my email/number loop.

I was able to do it through the app.

I seem to be getting the same error in Edge too.
Maybe I can Apple Pay in the app or have time to enter CC details when I place the order

Same thing is happening to me. Target seems to be running smoothly at the moment.

 

[alf717]

10 minutes left ladies and gents, time to lock in and good luck to us all.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

Did the Target preorder pages just disappear for anyone else?

 

[linko9]

we assume this is going up on amazon, right?

Nope.

[Imtjnotu]

i really do think im going to skip the launch.......i really want it but damn the games are not worth it right now.....

 

[jshackles]

 

[Chiggs]

Target is somehow already out?

 

[tkscz]

Target sold out immediately. Like the moment midnight hit preorders were sold out.

 

[Imtjnotu]

instant sold out LOL

 

[Chiggs]

Target sold out immediately. Like the moment midnight hit preorders were sold out.

It doesn't even make sense.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

I don't know if target.com is just shitting the bed right now or if the entire allotment sold out one millisecond after midnight

 

[Deerock71]

Wal-Mart crashed 2 minutes before go time. Man, sure seems like an instant bomb.

 

[Chiggs]

Bam! I got one through Target!

Not the bundle, but who gives a fuck.

 

[Celcius]

now sure what's going on with BB

 

[jshackles]

Wal-Mart crashed 2 minutes before go time. Man, sure seems like an instant bomb.

GAF assured me nobody would want one of these, and that they'd be easy to get pre-orders lol

 

[FeastYoEyes]

best buy still says coming soon even 8 minutes later

 

[Imtjnotu]

some how bestbuy is trashed. got it on target for the bundle. but i most likely will cancel and try to get a bestbuy one

 

[Days like these...]

Do you currently have to have an online subscription?

 

[tkscz]

It doesn't even make sense.

If you're using the app keep trying. I think Mine just went through.

 

[Poppyseed]

Total shitshow.

 

[jshackles]

Walmart order confirmed!

 

[Chiggs]

Target is now officially fucked.

 

[tTHANOSs]

Finally went through with target app. Jesus

Struggling here.

 

[Cre8]

Fuck Target, I preorder a Astrobot DS controller from them. They charge me and two weeks later after released, they cancelled my order and refund me.

 

[tkscz]

Target is now officially fucked.

Yeah I'm getting traffic is so heavy they limited the check out. I'm not giving up

 

[jorgejjvr]

Got it at Target without the Mario kart world bundle

 

[Chiggs]

I have another one in my cart at Target and it won't let me proceed...but it also won't let me remove it?

 

[Poppyseed]

Target is dead.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Bestbuy is crashing, can't even tell if it's sold out or not
