Did you get your Switch 2 pre-order, Destructoid?
There is over three weeks to go until the Nintendo Switch 2 launches worldwide despite the ongoing worries regarding US tariff changes and other worldwide events hindering supply, though I am happy to confirm that I was able to grab not one, but two pre-orders of the Mario Kart World version of the console ahead of release. Why two? Protection in case one gets cancelled. We have all been there before on a new console release where a company takes on too many pre-orders and ends up cancelling one, leaving you without a system at all on launch or having to scrounge each page, refreshing every minutes in hopes that pre-orders randomly appear (they don't, but we pray they do.) I'll likely send a console pack or give the second console to a family member for cost if I end up getting both. No way am I joining the scalper hoard. No sir. https://twitter.com/NintendoStoreUK/status/1922945979126366328 Thankfully, with three weeks to go, some sites are starting to add more pre-orders, but that does beg the question: Were you able to secure your own pre-orders? And if so, what games do you plan to get at launch? (There is a lot after all, I don't know how I'm going to find time for both Mario Kart and the new DELTARUNE chapters, to name a few.) And if you weren't able to secure a pre-order, how come? Were you unlucky? Are you giving the system a miss at launch on purpose to wait for another version of the console down the line, or waiting for the holiday season? I'm genuinely curious what everyone was able to secure and would love to hear about your experiences in the comments below. Either way. If you did get the console, I hope to see you all in Mario Kart World for the next month, where I will be playing nothing but the new knockout mode, sweating on Rosalina, trying to climb whatever arbitrary ranked or points system the game has. See you there! The post Did you get your Switch 2 pre-order, Destructoid? appeared first on Destructoid.
