I don't think you fully understand the meaning behind the phrase "I think."

so you're basically posting for no reason whatsoever based on no new info or anything in the trades?

I mean how dare she! This is certainly not the forum for that kind of behavior, that'll get you banned!

[UPDATE] Date for First Batch of Switch 2 My Nintendo Store Pre-Order Invitations in the U.S. and Canada, Priority Requirements Set

[UPDATE] Date for First Batch of Switch 2 My Nintendo Store Pre-Order Invitations in the U.S. and Canada, Priority Requirements Set

Did you read the actual update (or the last few posts)?

Even if that were news today and not know since April 2nd, it's the same information that Noonan posted just 5 posts above. Good thing we had a big enough font for the headline!

Wtf is your deal with me? I give you all my free digital codes, one being a game and you still rag on me like there’s no tomorrow. What’s up with that? It’s enough already. It’s like you wait for me to post and then swoop in minutes after. Seriously dude, chill out.

Why don't you just block him so that you don't see his posts?

Hey OB, I don't mean to offend. I like some of your posts.
And I often will defend you and answer your questions instead of telling you to Google the answer for yourself. So it's not like I'm your mortal enemy here.
And I'm not the only one pointing out when you're posting incorrect or redundant information here.

But, you know, just like last week, you posted your 'hot news story' without looking directly above it first out of courtesy to see if it was already posted. And, heck, your own link and headline says the story was [UPDATED] to reflect that there was no new information reported.

It feels like you're willfully ignoring the discussion when you do stuff like that.

He’d never do that. He asks Decker for help all the time.

and he's usually quite helpful.

He may change his mind tomorrow for all we know, but it looks like the Switch 2 will be safe from Tarrifs.

It's not, alas.

There was an article I saw that speculated that Nintendo has over a million Switch 2 systems in the US already. Who knows if it is true.

Meta-data on target.com points to preorders going live on 4/30, though whether that’s an actual date or just a placeholder remains to be seen.

i'm sure it won't hurt the numbers but this back and forth and all the info and non-info has got to be one of the craziest game launches in ages.

Well the Xbox and Game Cube launched just a couple of months after 9/11 and the XSX and PS5 both launched during the pandemic. But at least those had a confirmed price to pre-order.

Those also had different people running the country that, shall we say, were more consumer friendly!

Several people have commented the price AND the performance. Even when we don't even know what that performance is. So saying that some of y'all are expecting PS5 level performance for $300 is not a stretch.

And if I'm exaggerating I'm not the only one. $450 isn't anywhere near $700.

But honestly I don't think we're that far apart on our thoughts. I think everyone agrees it's expensive.


But.....there might be some hope yet at least in terms of the performance side of things.

Basically it's definitely better performing than the steam deck. And possibly even better performing than the PS4 Pro. And this is all based on a launch day port that's not even optimized to Nintendo's hardware. If it can look this good imagine what Nintendo is going to do with this ability. So it seems like it's definitely outperforming it's price point as far as PC handhelds are concerned. And again, it's a hand held so yes the comparison is valid. So maybe we're getting quite a bit of machine for our $450?

I checked over the weekend that I have had a Nintendo online membership for six years and five months. I hope this will be enough to get an email from Nintendo and let me purchase one directly from them.

It would be nice to know before the store pre-orders go live.
I am not sure I have been sharing my gameplay data with Nintendo and don't have that many hours played the past few years (mostly on planes and on vacation). But I certainly put in a hundred into Animal Crossing during the pandemic.

I agree, it stinks not know if you qualify or not. I'm not taking any changes. If and when they will pre-order from a store, I will definitely go that route first. If I strike out, hopefully Nintendo will send me a link to pre-order.

Hmm not sure if I have 50 hours, I assume so but to be certain SNES Picross time.

considerable limitations expected on SW2...
GameStop expecting less than 100 Nintendo Switch 2s per store
