So basically, if you really want one at launch, at this point, you have no excuse.

Sounding more like this won't sell out due to plenty of stock!

Looks like GameCube controller back for preorder!
I agree. Given the amount of units Nintendo is producing, the price, and the fact it's launching in June, I suspect if you're really determined to get one you'll have success launch day.

Can't regular wired GC controllers work via USB adapters?

Nintendo US is either gonna come through with their "register interest" preorder scam, or im just gonna wait a while. Im not going anywhere near any store on launch day.

On behalf of the My Nintendo Store team, thank you for registering your interest to purchase the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system from Nintendo.
We wanted to let you know that you're still in the queue to purchase, and to share with you a handful of updates on what to expect.
What happens now
There's nothing you need to do right now.
The first invitations to purchase through the My Nintendo Store have begun going out. Invitations will continue to go out periodically until all eligible registrants receive an opportunity to purchase (as they become available). Due to a high number of registrations, we can't provide exact timing on when you can expect to receive your invitation.
When it's your turn, we'll send you an email inviting you to shop.
If you pre-order or purchase Nintendo Switch 2 from a retailer and later receive an invitation to purchase Nintendo Switch 2 from My Nintendo Store, you are not required to purchase the system from My Nintendo Store.
When to expect your invitation
We do have a lot of registrations and apologize that we can't provide exact timing. Rest assured that we'll continue sending invitations past the system's launch date.

I mean it was nice of them to send a message saying absolutely nothing (i got that one too a couple weeks back), but how do they fuck this up so bad after seeing the PS5 launch disaster a few years back?

Yes I believe so. But the advantages of the Nintendo online gamecube controller is wireless, and the added functionality of including the c button, home button and zl button

The Switch 2 pre-order/launch period hasn't been nearly that bad. The PS5 sold out in literal seconds for months from every retailer.
The Switch 2 during the initial preorder period was relatively easy to get if you were on one of the websites in the first 10-15 minutes. They also advertised the date and time in which preorders would be available.

True but all the retailers blew their preorder load very quickly that first day and have had no more since. Sites like walmart and others were shitting the bed regularly that day also so it was far from a good experience. So at this point if you want one from a retailer your only hope is to brave the hordes on launch day. Oddly this seems to be a US problem only since on here i see reports of other countrys still having preorders available at retailers easily.

Hopefully retailers have some kind of system on launch day to separate the preorders from the launch day hopefulls.
I can't imagine standing in the same line with 30 other ppl that dont have a preorder

My local GameStop said they'll have us come in on June 4th and pay off our systems at 3pm. Then later at 9pm we come back with ID and receipt and there with be a separate pickup line for people who have already paid it off.
I guess there will be some food trucks, costume contest with a cool prize, and some other activities. Sounds fun.

That's pretty crazy. Your store must have received good stock.

I'd believe that, one of my nearby stores told me theyre expecting at least 100 systems (not including the 65 preorders)
Hell, the walmart I work at is expecting a bit over 50. Nintendo is going absolutely balls to the wall in the US

I don't think my local GameStop is even large enough to hold 165 systems. They'd have to sell them straight from the truck.
