Nintendo Switch 2 Thread

[bork]

Standing at a crosswalk and see an ad for Mario Kart releasing on June 5. Wow. It’s actually this week? Maybe it’s me not having a preorder. But it does feel tepid.

I know this means nothing, but I'm currently on vacation and went to the one Best Buy in the area today to pick up something.  Decided to ask about the Switch 2 and the clerk said that while they had no idea if they were even getting stock, they were told open at 12am.  He also mentioned that usually people would already be lined up (this was at around 4pm I think) but nobody was waiting.

I dunno.


I took it as "I can't tell you how many systems we're getting, but if you come here at midnight, you'll probably be able to get one."

Pre-orders are sold out everywhere and we know this system will be successful.  And yet it still feels like a pretty lukewarm launch.  Don't feel any hype for it personally.  

I'm skipping out on this console for now.  There's just nothing at launch or coming out that makes me feel like I have to buy a system to play.  When they're easy to get at Gamestop or if Amazon finally stocks them, then I'll likely get one because of trade-ins.
