Switch 2 Pre-Orders. Did you get one?

Isn't little early? We still have 3 days (2 days for midnight launch) left until its officially comes out.

Cancelled mine, with all the ridiculous "game carts" I'm just not interested in paying 90 dollars for plastic with a QR code.

Realizing I'm happy with my PC and Analog Pocket more and more.
 
When is best buy supposed to ship these?

We have what, like 2-3 days before it comes out, and haven't seen any sort of shipping notification. Unless they're shipping overnight, which I doubt, usually seems like it takes a couple days.
 
Well just got the mail that Nintendo has shipped the GC controller. Still waiting for the Switch one but what's sweet is that DHL tracking estimates says I'll get the controller on Thursday, hopefully it'll be the same delivery with the Switch. I was under the assumption I wouldn't get it until the 12th!
 
I'm actually pretty excited despite not really having/wanting to play anything but BOTW/TOTK/TWW.

I haven't been to a midnight launch since like 2010 or 2011 for Halo Reach or Battlefield 3. I can't remember if I did the launch for Battlefield or not but I know I did for Reach.

I'm sure I'll check out MKW a bit, but I'm just happy to be future-proofed and playing The Hundred Line. GET IT, HEATHENS!
 
Any movemnet on yours yet? Mine still the same.
Nope. Called them today morning. As usual most useless customer service. He basically just repeats what you see on your end. And if you ask him more details you will need to decipher his accent and you still wouldn't understand shit.

Walmart never failed me in general as operations has nothing to do with the customer service end . But I am not sure I will be getting it Friday . Might get delayed till Monday if I am not lucky.

The only reason I went with Walmart because if thr screen has a dead pixel, I can return no question asked. Any other store and its either no return or restock fees ( outside Amazon which I didn't get invite to preorder even though I am a prime member )

Good to know, I feel like it will update tomorrow and deliver on Friday (probably in the afternoon though)
 
Just scored a bundle at a Gamestop in an Indianapolis suburb. They had 46 units available for 3pm pre-purchase beyond the original pre-order batch. I think it was 26 MKW bundles and 20 console-only.

And 46 is about how many people showed up, so I think everyone who waited in line got one.

Worth noting that accessories AND games were extremely limited! They had way more consoles than accessories or physical software to go with them.
 
Gamestop was the best place to go if you didn't have a preorder. Our local store had 60 extra units to sell (40 Bundle/20 console only). I got there at 10:30 and I was 12th in line. Sat around in a chair and chilled until 3, made a few friends and got my bundle. I see some other stores had like 25, some had 50, depends on how many people pre-ordered in the first place. They just double that amount. I was actually quite surprised that you could still get a console by like 1-2pm. It seems like at about that time is when we hit 50-60 people in line to get one. Some of the people were there since 4am lol. I even debated showing up at noon but part of me felt like I had to go a bit earlier to make sure I got one or else I'd have been super disappointed. I ended up getting the Mario Kart bundle and Switch 1 version of BOTW used cuz it was $42 and even better there was some promo so it ended up costing me $34. I already own the expansion stuff from the Switch 1 days, so all I'll have to do is buy the $10 upgrade. Way better than spending $70 for the Switch 2 version. I also grabbed Switch 2 copy of ToTK tho. So, I think I'm all set. I am so psyched about Zelda, but I feel like I need something other than Zelda. I mean yea Mario Kart World is going to be awesome, but I really wish DKB was a launch title! I did order Mario 3D World and SMBU Deluxe on eBay since I got some good deals there and I can upgrade those for free. I sort of want one more game but IDK what. I kind of want DK Returns but how is there no Switch 2 update? Grr. I'm dead tired from being out in the hot ass sun all day but glad I got my Switch 2 order in. Can't wait til tonight!

Yep. Our Gamestop didn't even have ANY cases. Not the small one or the $80 one either. Luckily at Walmart yesterday I snatched up some cheap $11 Switch 2 case and then I also ordered the 256gb Onn (Walmart brand?) SD Express card for in store pickup but when I got there, I noticed they had 512gb cards behind the glass so I cancelled and got the 512! It was only $60 so a much better deal compared to the other express cards being sold, especially the official brand.
