@ChrispyNoodle I preordered mine from game too. A week before the presentation. From talking to the guys it appears I will get one at launch ( they said they will only no!D my preordered for 48 hours. I asked about a midnight launch and they said only if they receive enough preorders.

I hope to god the game lorry bringing the switches doesn't get robbed like there lorries did carrying gta5 and splatoon.

@gamermole I'm in the same situation as you. Pre-ordered from Game a week before launch but can't get the day off work so may not be able to pick it up, which means I'd have to do so on Saturday as they said it'll be kept for only 48 hours.

Wait, the splatoon robbery wasn't the only time they've stolen a truck from Game?!

I have a chronic lack of time, for everything.

Now playing: Okami HD, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

@FragRed luckily I managed to get the day off work just incase I had to hit up a midnight launch.

Rather take off work the following day and just drive to the closer location to pick up in the morning.

That's my intention, it also means that I can spend the day playing Zelda.

@gamermole I'm not sure they can do one where I am as the store is inside a shopping mall, though even if they did, the street lights go out at midnight so dont's really like the idea of attending a midnight launch.

@FragRed mine too is in a shopping mall. But they open the mall if they receive enough preorders. Out of interest where abouts are you situated.

@FragRed
I've been at midnight launches for World of Warcraft expansions where the GameStop is in a mall, but they open the entire mall because it's such a big crowd.

But that is in a fairly large city, too, so I don't know your specific situation.

I didn't have the option to pick it up at the store, but hopefully Gamestop.com pulls through! Paid the extra $15 to get it on launch.

So when do you guys think we'll be able to just walk into a store and pick up a Switch? Or just easily pre-order without having our thumbs on the keyboard 24/7? I'd like to get a Switch before the summer starts, so hopefully around April or May. I didn't have enough money at the time to pre-order initially after paying for classes. I'm thinking they'll start stocking the Switch again at around the time Splatoon 2 or Arms comes out.

@NinjaWaddleDee because if you was in the uk you can still just walk into a store and preorder

@NinjaWaddleDee
Here in the U.S., hopefully as early as April. Nintendo needs to get systems into the hands of people who want them as quickly as possible, even if that means a few extra sit on a shelf for a day or two. This is not the time for scarcity.

@rallydefault I certainly hope we don't have another NES mini, Wii, or New 3ds situation in our hands. No systems in March is one thing, but I would like to think nintendo would have more out for it's later releases.
