From the US, and I got mine from Best Buy. Target was giving me problems. I had to wait on the Best Buy queue for almost a half an hour, but I got pre-ordered mine. Nintendo sent me invite a week ago but it doesn't matter anymore because I already got mine.
@personauser93 it is... at least until you have to deal with the possible latency lag online. But that's only online. It's more stable offline with friends obviously.
For me, probably not. It sounds to me that 3rd party developers are upsetting the balance with these key cards over physical cards. If I have to buy game key cards, I'll probably buy just one.
If that the case, then I should've pre-ordered a carrying case and charger with my Switch 2.😅 Oh well, I can wait for licensed third party accessory makers as an alternative during the summer.
Although I already pre-ordered a Switch 2, I wouldn't trade in my Switch 1 for a Switch 2 for that would be too premature for me. If I did, then I wouldn't have my console to keep me busy while I wait for the Switch 2 to launch on June 5. Instead, I'm keeping my Switch 1 until I get the Switch 2 then I'll trade in my Switch 1 along with most of it's games that I already completed and/or don't want anymore (I got a lot of Switch games but games i really love like Super Mario Odyssey and Smash Ultimate I'm keeping) for cash so I can get back half of the money I spent on the new console or trade credit for an accessory or game for Switch 2.
I got mine from Best Buy. Long story short: Target kept giving me problems during checkout and Best Buy didn't update their Switch 2 page for pre-order until around 30 minutes, put me in a waiting queue where I waited until 1:14am to place my pre-order.
Dang that is so stupid. Well I was planning on getting it on Switch, but then I started to consider the PS5 version due to better performance. But after it was announced to come to Switch 2, I'll get that version instead.
@Willo567 umm, I'm from the West and I don't spam "DROP THE PRICE." I'm just as excited as everyone else to buy this game, regardless of the price. So does that mean that I suck?
I have a VIZIO V-series 4K Ultra HD TV and it has HDR with Dolby Vision. I'm wondering if 4K Ultra HD counts and would be taken advantage by the Switch 2.
@Zealv2 uhh... aren't game key cards don't have the software, prompting you do following the instructions do download the rest of the data to the card, as I read on the North American Nintendo Support page?
"Game-key cards are different from regular game cards, because they don’t contain the full game data. Instead, the game-key card is your "key" to downloading the full game to your system via the internet."
I honestly don't see what the problem is with game key cards. Yes they don't contain the whole data, prompting you do download it after you insert it. But you the downloaded data will stay in the key card rather than your Nintendo Account and it can be resold or lended to someone else. It's like recording a movie or show on a blank VHS tape, and while i prefer game cards with the full data in, I don't know what's the fuss about with the key cards.
My question: Is the Switch 2 still region free like the original Switch? And while the Donkey Kong Bananza game looks fun, will we get a 3D Super Mario game soon?
Yeah it's sucks that the eShop still doesn't add any menu music, but achievements is something that I honestly could care less about and it's a minor thing to get so up in arms about.
I'm still getting the game, no matter what. If you folks still don't want to buy due to it's high price, that's your decision that I'll respect. But for me, I'm still buying it.

Re: Talking Point: The Switch 2 Pre-Order Situation Sucks, But Can Nintendo Do Anything About It?

Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?
