Got one at Target, but the final check out step just frozen indefinitely; after about 10 minutes it kicked me back to the front page with nothing in my cart.

I don't know how you guys do this every time Pearl Jam goes on tour!
Keep at it! Best Buy might be the one.

Nice! It seems like everyone I know got a pre-order of some kind. There has to be a better way to do this though.

yeah hard pass. The motion steering sucks for the most part, although it is better with the joycons. But for a young one, the motion control gets out of control quickly. Although you can turn on the setting for them that they can't run off the course.

I'm not sure how many "Switch 2 Editions" there will be of OG Switch games, but I would seek out the original cartridge if the upgrade is $10. I wonder if there will even be a digital OG Switch version in that scenario.

I got one from Walmart this morning pretty painlessly. Kinds ruined the rush of trying to get one. I remember buying a PS5 back in like 2020-2021 and the adrenaline that came from almost getting one until after weeks I got finally got one direct from sony

Nintendo executives: so everyone will be watching their inbox May 8 through May 10 for an email from Nintendo about Switch 2 presale invites, so let's send everyone an email about an update to the user agreement.

So f'n oblivious. Not the time for that.

I got the invite to pre-order. I don't need it, but send me PM in the next 24 hours if anyone is still looking for one!

I was really hoping they'd debut another color set for the joycons, but I guess that will come later. I want to get an extra pair for my boys' dirty hands.

This is getting close for day one folks. I’m excited to hear about it. I’m out until a new Mario or Zelda title.
