I could not get a Switch Preorder. I really hope I can nab one this time.

This thing will be hard to find for a year.

I hope not. My Switch is having Wi-Fi issues.

Nintendo has said they have a plan to meet demand. So we will see if that's the case.

Also a couple additional rumors:
1. For some reason people think there will also be some sort of Nintendo Direct tomorrow?
2. Pre-orders will start after the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct on 4/2.


Guess rumor 1 was pretty much correct (1 day off):

Lol Nintendo is diabolical doing a direct a week before switch 2 direct. I think this is a great play by them though. Silence since the announcement and now really build up the hype a week before. All these games will be backwards compatible. So I'm hoping for windwaker or twilight princess remasters.

The rumors for this direct made sense. Nintendo is coming up on their fiscal year end and they want to show continued support for the switch. So now is a good time to let people now what games are still coming to Switch 1.

I would nut if we get those remasters on the switch. I played bits and pieces of each over the years and would like to be able to play them both on my switch

Windwaker is the only major Zelda title that I have never played. I really hope this becomes available on the Switch.

Has any video game release ever met demand though? Especially with the scalper market now.

That's why I'm curious to see them elaborate on this plan.

The PS5 Pro is the only recent one I can recall. There are still issues with the supply of disc drives, but the console itself has always been readily available.

But that's obviously a niche product.

Fun Fact: The only console I have ever gotten on release day was the N64. The Electronics Boutique got their initial shipment off like 5 of them the day before the official release day and I was 3rd on the list. Got both Mario 64 and Pilotwings with it. Played the every loving shite out of both for months waiting for new games.

A lot of scuttlebutt from various industry insiders who have been reviewing earnings statements from some of the hardware vendors supplying parts seem to indicate that they've been making the things and stacking like firewood since last November.

There is a rumor that they've already built and shipped to regional warehouse over 7.5m units. Their plan and answer to scalpers is to literally flood the market with product on day 1.

Would love for this to be true.

There’s no chance 7.5 million devices have been stockpiled in warehouses over the past 4 months without a single one falling out of the back of a truck and finding its way to eBay.

Is the Switch2 May-June release a bad rumor (did not read the thread) SIAP.
