Nintendo Switch Preorder Thread (U.S.)
- Thread starter That Damn Kid
- Start date
Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but my Neon Joycon controller order on Amazon is marked for arrival March 7th, stating that they will ship March 3rd. And my charging set and black grip are still saying a March 31st arrival date. I hope these get updated to arrive on March 3rd.

Finally paid off my preorder today! Super ready for Friday after work, going to be going nuts all day thinking about playing Zelda. I got the gray switch (brother is swapping his neon joycons w/ me to get the superior color 
), ordered Zelda, another ac adapter, and the charge grip.
Interesting that my Walmart had the Zelda and Bokoblin amiibos sitting out on shelves today and I tried to buy Zelda early with no luck. Oh well worth a try

Ugh, I don't know what to get for a Multiplayer game for Switch. 1 2 Switch looks like fun, but I can't see that being fun more than a few times unfortunately. I love Bomberman but I'm slightly concerned about the quality of it and performance.
Pretty sure I'm going to pick up Snipperclips now though. I just wanted another multiplayer game but I might hold off on both of those. Only about 2 months wait anyway until Mario Kart drops.

Mine says the same, but I'm fine with it. I can survive the weekend without it.
Guess I need to post this again since there are some people who seem to have already forgotten after 2 page. Wow, how the mind slips!
"Allegedly"
Opening admitting to sexually assaulting someone(then banning anyone who called him out for it)
Posting revenge porn with their real full names then another admin(a now jailed pedophile) printed the photos and jacked off over them and sent it to the boyfriend.
You're right, how can we even know if he's guilty or not? HMMMM
Also:
Yeah I mean it's not the end of the world, just kinda sucks because I'm anticipating playing a crazy amount for BotW next weekend and everything I've heard is that the Joy Con Grip controller really isn't as good as the Pro.

What storage solutions are most people going for?

I don't think you will get charged until the 2nd. On the 25th they were only authorizing CC payments to make sure cards had the funds to cover the cost of the pre-order.

Might need to stop sniffing glue
It's a good idea. I'm going to risk it. They authorized everything from what I can tell.

All of my Best Buy stuff switched over to Preparing and my credit card was charged... except Zelda.
Amazon seems the best bet. They have a 64GB sandisk on sale for 15.99 right now or a128gb for 39.99. I grabbed a 64GB to start as I plan to mostly be physical. so the 89GB between internal and SD should last me a bit.

I'm really nervous about my preorder with Amazon. Not because I don't think it will be fulfilled but because Amazon has really dropped the ball with shipping lately because of their use of USPS. I wish there was a way to select your carrier as a Prime member. I'd even pay more to avoid using USPS.
Went in and took advantage of some last minute deals to pay off my switch at GameStop as well as preorder a copy of Zelda since I hear it's sold out at amazon.
Turns out they are getting almost 50 copies in that aren't reserved so there's that, but my GameStop is in a pretty populated area.

Just got done talking to a bestbuy manager. He said they got more units in for non preorders than pre orders. He said they had a ton of preorders. They are gonna do 2 lines, and tickets will be handed out for non pre orders. This is a very high traffic Best Buy. So if your looking to get a switch I'd suggest bestbuy. He doesn't expect to sell out at midnight.
Edit: also 1 per customer

When do reviews of third party games like Bomberman go up?

Funny you say that, because Best Buy just cancelled my order over night since Chase rejected the charge due to suspicious activity. Good thing I had a back up AMZ order.

Yeah, I called Chase and told them to expect a lot of internet purchases this week. They put a note on my account to hopefully prevent any declines.
Yeah 7th here as well. Just gotta wait 4 more days. It'll be fine.
Though I won't stop worrying about my order til I have Zelda playing on my Switch at home.

I had a preorder for the Pro controller and charge grip from Amazon, but they were going to arrive on Mar 7th as well. I cancelled them the other day when Best Buy put them up and those will now arrive on the 3rd with my Switch and Zelda coming from Amazon.

Getting worried that only my Pro Controller (which isn't even for me) is the only thing being prepared. My BotW and ProCon combo for the Friday morning are still In Progress and I ordered those weeks ago during the Visa deal.
You're worrying about nothing.
This thread has me so paranoid now.
I have BOTW amiibo, charge grip and neon switch pre-ordered at Best Buy. The amiibo have switched to preparing while the charge grip and switch are still at Pre-Ordered status. No email yet either.
My card was charged for the BOTW amiibo but not the grip or switch. Should I worry/panic or just keep spamming F5 until I see a change? (I see I am not the only one)
Thanks!

Mine looks almost identical to yours except my pro controller AND Amiibos are all set for preparing..the Neon switch that I pre ordered on Jan 12th still shows "Pre ordered" processing..have not been charged already checked my card
Best Buy has only charged for the charging grip so far. I'm picking up the Switch, Zelda, Pro controller at midnight launch while the charging grip and blue neon joycons are being shipped to me.
Edit: I wouldn't really be worried unless my shipping orders aren't being prepared by Tuesday, then I'd be worried. I think in-store pickups get prepared around Tuesday or Wednesday.

Whats happened since they have used USPS? They no longer use UPS?
Edit: Ah, never noticed but they recently did stop using them. Damn, I hate USPS.

That's about $40 above retail, after tax. Hardly "really expensive" for something that's probably going to be sold out for a while. I'd imagine most people would be happy to get it for $370. I'm anticipating the average Craigslist price to be $500.

Death. Taxes. And people worrying about the status of their orders they will inevitably get when they are supposed to.

My switch and pro controller have both hit the preparing stage, while Zelda is still just preordered. If Zelda of all things is what gets delayed from this, I'm going to be very perplexed. Everything still has a delivery date of by March 3rd.
Thanks for checking!!
👍👍 hopefully she didn't just check Costco.com lol.
I remember getting my n64 with Zelda and an extra controller at Costco back in the day
After hours on the phone with Gamestop customer support trying to talk to a supervisor the rep finally reissued my preorder which they cancelled yesterday. Still waiting on a confirmation email, but I got my fingers crossed. Hopefully the guy wasn't just lying to me to get me off the phone.

They still use them occasionally, which is even more annoying because it seems random which carrier they use for orders. I'm sure it has something to do with what distribution center it's coming from, but I really wish they were more transparent about it.

My card was charged and BB went to "preparing."
IT'S HAPPENING, ISN'T IT?!

Best Buy charged me for my Pro Controllers but status says "Pre ordered"
Edit. Says "preparing" now. Hopefully my Switch gets charged soon!
