It's certainly a step forward and I appreciate not having to wade through the swamp of slop as much but I hope Switch 2's eshop can address not seeing deserving indies as they need to be seen. It's a tough one for sure.
It does so happen to be a certain franchise's 40th Anniversary next year...
It would be nice to have options and I suppose both the Game Boy and Switch versions of Link's Awakening exist at the same time.
I haven't played my Gamecube version of Wind Waker for quite a few years but I'm looking forward to it BUT I would like to have WWHD as well for those quality of life improvements and wide screen.
@Ash_uk1 I think maybe when the Switch 2 has already launched sadly. I'm sure the existing stock has been picked clean if not already.
Going off the previous Controller releases they will restock it at some point but you'll have to be quick when that does happen. I remember the Nintendo 64 controllers being very sought after when they launched.
I got the invite link and I'm logged in but it seems to think I'm not an active NSO member now so I can't preorder anything??
EDIT: I figured it out, I signed out of my account and re-signed in and the preorders were available, little glitch but if anyone is having any issues maybe try that?
But I did it! Got my Switch 2 + Mario Kart, Pro Controller and Gamecube Controller!
I'm really fighting the urge to get one from Argos the longer I wait for the Nintendo invitation followup email. I'd rather get it straight from the source plus a Gamecube controller but occasionally I'll remember how they messed up with game preorders like Xenoblade Chronicles 3's Collector's edition! Hopefully its smooth sailing so far for the UK and EU preorders.
Preordered from GAME last week and I'm waiting for my email from My Nintendo Store after being invited last week so I can order my Wife's console and a Gamecube controller. It seems the emails are coming out now right?
Oh can anyone confirm whether MNS charge for everything now or on dispatch? I can pay for it now so I'd rather do it as soon as I can and usually they charge on dispatch from the previous times I've ordered from them.
The first Pro Skaters were more my era but I'm happy that 3 + 4 are coming for those fans! I do recall playing them a little bit.
Really curious on how these upcoming releases factor in the Switch 2. Would it be an update ala Xbox's Smart Delivery? Or could it be a new version of the game?
Also great that a Nintendo version is releasing day and date instead of previous Activision releases where they wait a year to port it to Switch and PC (Crash Bandicoot N Sane trilogy, Crash 4, Spyro, Pro Skater 1+2)
Hm the My Nintendo Store UK website seems to be down... Why does Xenoblade always break their site?! Anyone remember the fumble that was the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Collector's Edition preorders?
What I find funny is, the video this announcement is paired with on Linkedin has my old desk in the background from when I worked there for 3 years. I watch the Group CEO talk but the stark reminder of the great Team17 layoffs of 2023 is in the background. I just don't understand the trajectory they are going in.

Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch 2
Is everyone constantly refreshing their emails? or is that just me?!
