Rumor has it pre-orders open on the 21st or 23rd or 30th depending on which dataminer you believe. 21st would be an extra cluster since so many people have work off.

Official: preorders open April 24. No price increase for now.

I wish each retailer would announce the specific times. I get why they won't, but I don't want to be hitting refresh all day!

Do these only come with one controller? I'll need a second one to play with my kid?

And what's the opinion on the pro controllers with the last gen? Generally worth the upgrade, or just like if you're doing FPS stuff?

controller is a must-have. bigger sticks, more ergonomic

my question is does it come with a dock or does it come handheld only?

The pro controller is excellent. I recommend that for TV playing. The system comes with the little Joycons grip that your kid can use. In a pinch you can each use a joycon but that experience is largely terrible.

A beefy dock with a fan!

I suppose it would be too much to ask that our existing controllers continue to work on the new one. Fucking pro ones were $70.

They do! You just can't "wake" the Switch 2 with Switch 1 controllers. Once the system is on, you're good to go.

The single joycons with the clip-in adapter for shoulder buttons are perfectly fine for casual party games. I think it's pretty cool that they have that capability.

But yeah, the pro controller is the best controller of all time.

Can’t wait for my son to watch Switch 2 games on YouTube and then ask how we get them. He doesn’t know it’s coming yet but he’ll figure it out eventually.

These times make me think the rumors of a large inventory are true.

A few friends and I plan to pre-order from Best Buy and then tailgate in the parking lot before the midnight opening. Two of the guys camped out with me to get the Wii in '06. It will be like old times!

Pre-orders go live in 16 hours. Good luck!
