Nintendo Switch 2 - D'you pre-order yours yet?

I was able to buy one at Walmart and another at BestBuy after over an hour and a half of refreshing three different shopping carts across two laptops and a phone around 1:30AM EDT.

Thankfully Spawn Wave turned me onto Jake Randall who's still running a YT livestream & chat re: to purchase across the platforms, but it was still arduous.

Gamestop pre-orders start at 11AM EDT online and in line at the stores.

OP, we must always include a reference link in posts such as this. Do better.

5 days until the release!

I pre-ordered three.

One for me, one for my cub, and one for my cousin-in-law, once removed.

My brother was able to buy 2. I went on the Walmart site, of all places and got in line.

After about half an hour I was informed I had one in my list. My bro purchased it while he was on the target app.

A few minutes later he was able to procure one from Target.

I’m sure he will sell the second one at a premium. I should get a finders fee since it was my idea to go to the Walmart app, plus, I did have an account with them. Already. 🤗

R3 Among all the shops that sold pre-orders, Walmart was best experience. It took a while, but their website didn’t break down as badly as Target’s site did and they didn’t start as late as as Best Buy did.

Right, R4, Target did glitch for a little bit, but my brother was able to see the purchase thru.

He tried the Best Buy and the Game Stop pages but all were crashed, I guess.

Plus maybe the fact that we were on mountain time zone helped somehow.

My 1st Switch 2 came via Walmart courrier this morning at 7:30AM.

Walmart tossed in a free can of Pringles and a Sprite, too!

Yes, R6!!

I got some too, except we got a regular coke.

That was the coolest thing! They’re so nice 😯

I never thought about it, but I am very depressed and need something to get my mind off things. Maybe a Switch would be fun.

I'm actually impressed that Wal-Mart of all places threw in snacks and soda.

Mario Kart is a blast to play!

Super fun, even playing against the system is hysterical 😂😅

We would get pretty competitive. My brothers and I would be merciless. Eat it!! And various other comments made.

It’s the first time I have ever had anything delivered by them and I was impressed. Maybe because it was a $500.00 item?

What are the best games for it? I want one so bad. I might have to wait a bit to buy it though. I am so broke right now. Maybe I'll buy it next month or in August.

How much did you drop, Op?

Is a Switch worth buying if you're only going to play it hooked up to a TV?

by Anonymousreply 13June 17, 2025 2:10 PM

Sure, R13, you get a more immersive experience.

Imagine playing Mario Kart, or any other Mario World game on a big screen? Or taking Link on wild adventures!

I’m jealous of you all that have one. ☺️

Is this a serious thread or a parody thread?

by Anonymousreply 15June 17, 2025 4:06 PM

Why would it be a parody? The Switch 2 is a real thing.

It’s been sold out in many places. People who preordered got theirs on the day of release.

The system has already sold about 3.5 million units in the first few days of release.

My local Best Buy store has been keeping a big si* up front stating they are out of switches.

by Anonymousreply 17June 17, 2025 4:31 PM

I'll probably buy it for the next Zelda or Animal Crossing but for now this is way too expensive for a new console that doesn't have any appealing titles.

by Anonymousreply 18June 17, 2025 6:27 PM

R12 I bought 3, for $1,500 + tax, for the cub and my nephew.

Nice, R19.

So jelli right now. ☺️
