Nintendo Switch 2 late night store launch events on Wednesday, June 4th…where are you planning to line up?

GameStop will have more afternoon pre-order sign-ups in store that afternoon but I’m trying to determine the best local Best Buy to line up, since I wasn’t able to get a pre-order. Best Buy will have additional consoles for purchase starting at 11:01 CST but inventory will vary per store. Some apparently may get a couple dozen, while others will get 50+ or even more. I’m unsure of Walmart’s plans because I have BB gift cards to use, so I won’t try there.
Where are you lining up and how early? Anyone planning to just try your luck online?

As of 11:28 CST, there are 5 left in stock at the Best Buy in Frisco on Preston.

Close. 47

Lmao…

Can you go even if you don’t plan to get one? I kind of want to hang out at a console launch
TheClownIsReady@reddit (OP)
Of course. Bring the pizza, please!

Why do you want to get a new console first day?
TheClownIsReady@reddit (OP)
Uhhhh…to play it? Lmao…
Agile_Definition_415@reddit
Can't wait a few weeks to play it?
TheClownIsReady@reddit (OP)
Likely will be a longer wait than that, if I don’t score one later today…

Is the cedar hill BB going to host a late night store launch?

I can't imagine giving Nintendo money these days compared to the N64 times. The amount of hoops and money you have to throw at them is fucking ridiculous. Also, most of their games are for kids, anyways.

I will wait a few months before buying a Switch 2 and continue playing my Switch, PS5 and Xbox

Good luck! I hope you score one and have fun with the games.
What are you most excited about? Doesn’t look like there’s many exclusive launch titles. I will definitely be waiting to buy mine.
TheClownIsReady@reddit (OP)
Thanks! There’s not many launch titles I’m interested in so for now, I’m actually excited about playing my current games on the bigger screen. I hope games like Diablo II get updates for the new system. My older, worn out eyes will definitely appreciate that bigger screen!

I’m confused, I thought Reddit was against the new switch because it was too expensive. Are we pro switch 2 now? Really difficult to keep up.
Skinny_Phoenix@reddit
You're aware that Reddit isn't one person with one opinion, right?
5x4j7h3@reddit
No. The hive mind is a weird one.

Well, we will need to get a tent and do things how we did back in the 2000's then.

Bro if I pull up to my midnight release GameStop and there’s a table with bros getting down in smash bros I will probably cry of happiness and realize that this is what life’s all about :,)

I'll get one when I can walk into a store and get one for sure without waiting in any lines.
Paraxom@reddit
I barely use my current consoles so I'll be lined up in my bed catching Z's
GregDSanders@reddit
Mine is arriving directly to my door. I will be in line at my door. With no pants on.

Too overpriced for me, sticking to my og switch.

Good memories from back in the day doing this for the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and PS3 era.
Good luck out there. I used my old man (30s 👴🏽) wisdom and pre-ordered from Target lol.
TheClownIsReady@reddit (OP)
Definitely the smart choice! I tried to pre-order from BB but I stayed in an online queue for nearly 2 hours, which went nowhere. So, I’m left with the zoo this week.

I’ll get my Mario kart 9 bundle when bananza comes out
$450-500 for 1 game is just too much for me. Plus I still gotta get animal crossing, Mario wonder, and Metroid prime remastered on my switch 1
mideon2000@reddit
I wonder if any small independent stores got any in. Ill try online. Probably target. Not holding my breath, but if i don't get one, no biggie. Gamepass is killing it
TheClownIsReady@reddit (OP)
Yeah, good point. I read somewhere that Staples and Microcenter might have some but I don’t know how accurate that was.

Sneaky, I'm not going to give you my game plan.
