I have the same message, I assume I still have to wait till tomorrow to get it?
If you want to waste your time, go for it.
Do you guys think they will break street date like that? The register will block the sale even if they get to that point.

Still nothing has shipped from Best Buy yet...
I'm going to be pretty salty if neither Switch or BOTW don't arrive tomorrow lol

Mine is seemingly shipping today though it isn't expected until Tuesday, but it is probably in the same box as the Switch which is scheduled for delivery for tomorrow.

I've had early pick up notifications but they just tell you to come back tomorrow.

Got charged in the middle of the night by Amazon for my grey Switch and BOTW. Stoked! And with the Amazon Chase card rewards, I'm getting 5% back in Amazon credit. Got Friday off and I'm ready to rock and roll.

I checked my Best Buy account, it says in tiny text under the product;
Status: Ready to Pick Up
Available Fri, Mar 3.
Getting it depends on who gives it to you, I will make an attempt to grab it after work. I was able to get Smash 4 on the Thursday before it released on Wii U from the same Best Buy.

I'm in Philly - just got word that my Switch is on its way from York, PA (Central PA). Shit, it actually may just get here for Friday.

Amazon switch order appears to be shipping now
Best Buy shipped
Still waiting on bb to ship Zelda, pro controller, and a few amiibo. I'm hoping they combine all of that since I'm having to reroute to the ups store for pick up

Finally all 5 of my Zelda amiibo and Special edition is preparing for in store pick up at Best Buy!
Yeah I know it's a CYA thing. I took the day off, just hope I'm not sitting there all day with Zelda in one hand and my dick in another.
or do I 
Thats correct. Kind of wish I had kept my BB preorder could have got it sooner.., 5% off with Amazon Visa was too tempting tho.

Well it might just that they have very efficient routes in our area, so it will ship out later today and still come by tomorrow. Or a lot of warehouses here. So maybe if its across the board in the region, it isn't a sign of trouble and they just know they can fulfill it with less time than in other places.

Amazon, northern NJ:
Switch, games, and accessories still listed as "preparing for shipment, arriving tomorrow by 8 PM," no tracking info yet, but Amazon finally charged my card, so yay!

I don't even have a label at this point and paid for the ond day ship/release day delivery
Is the store doing a midnight release? Not all of them are.

If they are, they should let you pick it up. You could call them to make sure, I suppose.
Mine still says arriving Tuesday but now says shipping today. Amazon mocking me.
Did you contact Amazon? You could see if they can confirm one way or the other. If it was supposed to come tomorrow, you may want to see if they can offer anything for your troubles. If it doesn't look like it will come tomorrow, you could go to Target before opening or another local store - I'd recommend calling any store to see how many they have and when they're selling so you have an idea of when to arrive. You could always just send back your console from Amazon then.
Best Buy says my Switch is out for delivery today!
But Amazon says Zelda and 1-2-Switch won't come until tomorrow ;_;
I didn't anticipate owning the console a day early. It's going to be hell waiting for my copy of Zelda to arrive. Maybe I'll download a digital game or two to test the hardware tonight. Will Snipperclips be up?

still no update from Gamestop
Why did I preorder from these clowns
Should have just watched amazon for openings

I also still have my payment pending in Paypal. The Gamestop site is useless. Even if I get this on time it's been a bad experience. Wish I snagged Best Buy in store pickup instead
Looks like I'm all set for tomorrow. Waiting on my amiibos to ship from Best Buy and my pro controller is still not saying ready for pick up. If I don't get those tomorrow it's not a big deal.
Amazon is on some sort of fuckery. My CE guide, Deluxe Guide, and Zelda Earbuds have no information besides the fact that I preordered them. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt but I'm glad that's all I ordered from them.

Me as well. Suppose to be here tomorrow since I paid for shipping. It's still early so not fretting... yet...
and now i got notification for Zelda CE. now just for the Pro Controller. I might swing by BB on my way home and see if i can pick it up early and if not at least get full details for their midnight launch plans. Would be awesome to have this while I wait for Logan to start in the theater.
EDIT: Pro controller is now ready for store pick up. HYPE!

I got an email from them on Feb 21st saying they will send shipping info on 3/2. If I don't hear anything by 5pm today I'm flipping over a chair.

Aww man, just checked on UPS and my Zelda Master Edition isn't supposed to be delivered until Monday from GamesStop, maybe Tuesday now since I had to re-route the package to my new address. I really hope they pull off a miracle and get it to my by Saturday at least...

Has anyone been able to update their Best Buy payment info successfully and not have their order canceled?

I hate new hardware launches. I don't necessarily need a Switch as I have about 10 PS4 games in my backlog and minimal time to play them, but now that launch is upon us I want one. I have no doubt I can have one either tonight at midnight or sometime tomorrow, but I just don't know if I should do it. The Switch itself seems just ok to me, but Zelda looks awesome... Damn it, Nintendo.

Anyone in Omaha, NE know if the Village Pointe Best Buy will be opening at midnight? The site says they aren't and I tried calling last night on the way home from work and they never picked up.
So I have a Switch preordered with Best Buy and just got my text notification that it will be ready to pick up tonight.
Question for some savvy shoppers. I have Zelda preordered on Amazon but that may not be delivered to me until tomorrow the latest 8pm. So I'm wondering if I buy Zelda tonight from Best Buy (because now I don't want to wait!) can I return my Amazon copy of Zelda I get tomorrow to Best Buy?

You might have to really carefully remove the bestbuy label but I see no reason amazon wound'nt accept it if its still factory sealed.
I preordered at a Gamestop B&M. Anyone have any idea how they typically work for midnight release? I'm assuming preorders have priority. I'd like to be able to swing by during the day and get a numbered ticket or something for when I come back at midnight. Definitely sitting out there for hours.

If it's a retail copy of Zelda you should be fine. The Special/Master editions have different box art that won't allow you to do so.

Yay Amazon is prepping my shipment
I'll probably swing by Best Buy during lunch and pick up Zelda. No idea why I didn't order it from Amazon too :/

So my Pro Controller is coming from Amazon JP on Monday or Tuesday. I thought I could be patient but now I want one for tomorrow so I can start off Zelda the right way lol.
I wonder if I can find one in store anywhere?? Or am I SOL?
