Switch Production Not Currently Affected By The Coronavirus In Europe And North America

Interesting. I, a resident in Europe, had my order delayed because of the corona virus.

Not affected... Hmm.

@Blizzia what retailer? I have mine preordered with the Nintendo store in the UK and haven't heard of any delay whilst Amazon and Game both have preorders available for launch

@Blizzia I'm in Ireland and my pre-order was unaffected. One of my pals ordered theirs from a different shop too with no issues. Maybe it's the specific place you are getting it from? Have you checked with any other retailers to see if the same is occurring with them?

@carlos82 Coolshop. I've also got it pre-ordered at another retailer that doesn't have the delay warning yet.

@alpacatears Yeah I just checked a few minutes ago, only that retailer seems to be affected (at least for now, or well, openly.)

Got another pre-order in at a retailer that seems to be unaffected.

@BenAV I felt the exact same. I was gonna buy the game on my OG switch if there was a delay and transfer my save but that idea is now up in the air haha. I'm so hyped to get my hands on both the game and the lovely new Switch

@Blizzia I wonder if they just reacted to the news, well at least you have another anyway

Nintendo should sell the components separately so people can buy them and assemble the Switch themselves, just like LABO.

@carlos82 Possibly :3 and yeah, I hope I'm set no matter what hah.

The next Nintendo Direct seems to be...

@NoTinderLife They do that. There was an article on how you could buy the stuff separate.

@Grandiajet I believe there may be more in the next direct than we think😉😉😉.

this AC Switch is impossible to even pre-order. Sold out before I even knew it was a real thing.

@msvt depends on your region. They're surprisingly plentiful in canada

If the outbreak is that bad in China then Nintendo should start thinking about moving productions to Southeast Asia or Mexico (like they did with past consoles) just to be on the safe side.

@peanutbuttercup
preoders sold out in the USA as far as I can tell. Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target. I think for a pre-order this is disappointing and annoying. After all, a pre-order lets them know how many to make ahead of time.

:/

Does Canada and US have the same region for Switch?

@msvt the switch is region free

Nintendo and all companies should take their factories out of china asap

FYI Walmart Canada just opened pre-orders for the AC Switch today!

Does Nintendo have manufacturing set up in other countries, or are they primarily centered in China (for Switch production)?

Maybe its time Nintendo pulls all manufacturing out of China, that would make me happy.

Of course not, it's all a fabrication.

Just a heads up its Coron-O-virus. Coronavirus would have come from the beer Corona. People keep saying it wrong, and even Corona had to make jokes about it.
