If anyone wants to hunt down links and times for other stores in regions that were also affected by delayed preorders (like Canada), please comment them below and I’ll update the post.
I’m probably gonna wait for a lite version. I mainly play the switch handheld anyway.
I’m so excited for camping out! From camping for the Wii with my future wife to the Wii U and Switch with a great friend, I’ve created some great memories along the way.
Switch battery aside, multiplayer in line should be a hoot! I wonder if I should bring a projector to cast onto a wall!
The great thing about USB-C is that it’s so easy to charge anywhere. Get a power bank or two and you should be good to go.
You should stay home. Everything the Switch 2 has shown me has been disapointing. I WANT to like Switch 2. I just don’t.
Also why isn’t it called the “Switcharoo”???
Iwata is missed.
I don’t understand your comment. Are you suggesting I should stay home because everything the Switch 2 has shown you has been disappointing?
Let me try your logic: you should camp out for a Switch 2 because I’m excited!
I get that not everyone is excited for a sequel system that is a massive pile of money. I also get that piracy talk is a lot of commenters’ only interest. I’m excited and enthusiastic. Why not make your own comment chain instead of jumping on one that clearly has a different vibe than you are going for?
Also, can you explain the Switcheroo joke? It’s like the idea of a bait and switch, right? I’m trying to figure out what you felt you were promised that now leaves you feeling like this is a switcheroo.
I’m more stoked for the launch day games to be pirated and fully functioning on the current emulators because it’s not actually different hardware/architecture compared the the switch.
it’s not actually different hardware/architecture compared the the switch.
Someone should notify Nintendo. They went through all the trouble of emulating Switch software on the Switch 2 hardware. Had they known it was the same architecture they could have saved themselves the trouble.
