So stopped at my local GameStop to see when they were taking preorders tomorrow for the Switch and he said 10am, but then proceeded to tell me that his employees are planning to buy them too.

Which is fine, he even said they will wait in line which is even more respectable, but then he said that they will be able to get there earlier since they work there...

Sooo are they letting them in first and defeating the purpose of a line? A little pissed about that aspect, especially after he told me they can only guarantee the first 10 in line..

If you report this to GameStop corporate, dude would probably get fired. That's completely against their policy.

I wouldn't put any stock in that, no pun intended.

I think you may have misunderstood what they meant. I think they meant the employees would be there early because they work there - as in they'll be there at 7am and prior to anyone else. Not that they are cutting the line ahead of people. Could be wrong, but that is how I took it to mean based on your description. If not, the store manager could be fired for doing that type of thing.

I know it's against policy to reserve, but what if you show up outside of your shift before anyone else? Is that still against policy? If they're not cutting in line, I don't see the issue. You just need to show up before they do.

Bring it. It does raise a good point though. Might we see an even ratio of console-experience games to handheld from Nintendo tonight? Perhaps in order to show it really is a multipurpose device.

I guess it's a bit of a weird question, as a game can be anything on any device. But I guess I just mean, grand-scale games, and on-the-go experiences.

I wish, because I asked him to clarify, he said 3 working and the other 5 would be showing up to reserve one as well...

Caught me off guard too. Anyways it will be what it is, just a little frustrating is all, will probably try the Best Buy too.

Planning to go into Gamestop tomorrow and wait in line. Is 7-8a for a 10a open gonna be too late?
Click to expand...

I was planning about 6a. It seemed to work for all those Amiibo I wanted, so it should be an adequate amount of time to secure my pre-order. I plan to pre-order a Switch Pro Controller too. I have a feeling those will be really hard to come by.

So any info on what stores are doing tomorrow. I know GS will be taking preorders, what about Best Buy? What's going on with online, do they go up tonight?

Oh man there I was in my room getting a hell of a message from a gorgeous man and all I can think is "I can't wait, the Switch presentation is in 4 hours!" WTF is wrong with me!?

All I'm hoping for is the first good Metroid game in 15+ years... And a Super Mario 64 remake... And of course for BOTW to be really really awesome

Fire Emblem Musou, please & thank you.

There was a thread years ago (pre-Hyrule Warriors) where someone posted that idea and was laughed at.

I thought it made sense and I'll be glad to see him vindicated. Hope he bumps that thread if/when it happens.
