Thank you for saying this, I wasn’t able to find answers anywhere. Your coverage helped me get my console preorder before and now this.

undercampdog.bsky.social•35 days ago

Got it after an hour and 15 minutes

super-metr0ld.bsky.social•35 days ago

It's been an hour and a half for me and still haven't gotten my email confirmation. It does show in my list of orders though on the site.

creedda.bsky.social•35 days ago

let us know if it actually works on steam os/pc

ricosynth.bsky.social•35 days ago

Got one! Thanks!

billford123.bsky.social•35 days ago

curious how long people were stuck in queue, going on 50min waiting

mrbibz.bsky.social•35 days ago

I had no queue at all, but I had seen it was going up at 1PM EST so I checked at 12:59 and the preorder button was there

tdvg.bsky.social•35 days ago

Sat in queue for about an hour and it just went through a minute ago.

billford123.bsky.social•35 days ago

same!

jstep32x.bsky.social•35 days ago

strange, i only waiting 10 minutes before being able to pre-purchase

best of luck!

billford123.bsky.social•35 days ago

THANKS! I did eventually get it, took 1hr, but got it

cleandesign.me•35 days ago

I was in queue for 20 mins on my phone. Had to close it. Came to my laptop and joined the queue and 3 minutes later I got one. It's being jank. Try another device as well, but don't close the other tab like had to, who knows maybe that one will pop.

billford123.bsky.social•35 days ago

just got one. In queue for 1hr,

cleandesign.me•35 days ago

That is crazy. I came in super late to even attempt buying. Feel bad for those who had 1 hour of anxiety.

billford123.bsky.social•35 days ago

It wasnt pleasant, but knew at some point I would get one. They arent going to 1 and done this thing. The SW2 was the one I was nervous about (have one ordered so fingers crossed)

teenietinytina.bsky.social•35 days ago

I never got one and ordered it hours ago at this point but it’s ok if it doesn’t go through or whatever

thrillhouse198x.bsky.social•35 days ago

Got one, thanks wario

profrockpr.substack.com•35 days ago

That's awesome!

kerkin.zone•35 days ago

Anyone have any advice for the sign-in bug where you add to cart, it shows nothing in cart, and the sign-in screen loops to keep making you sign in?

kerkin.zone•35 days ago

I was just able to buy it through a second account I made that I linked to my Family Group. Not going to work for everyone, but if you manage the Family Group this could help.

fourserioux.bsky.social•35 days ago

For anyone still waiting, I was in the queue for 1h45, just got in and it was in stock, so stick it out and hopefully they still have them!

daneworms.bsky.social•35 days ago

Still haven’t received a confirmation email, it’s been a few hours for me.

allat0nce.bsky.social•35 days ago

I have item limit reached - looks like sold out

towndarling.bsky.social•35 days ago

that just means it’s in your cart

allat0nce.bsky.social•35 days ago

But it’s not…I never clicked add to cart and checked cart and nothing

towndarling.bsky.social•35 days ago

hm. it’s still not what the site is supposed to be saying when it’s out of stock.

cleandesign.me•35 days ago

I just got one. I had a tab open on my phone for 20 minutes and got nothing. Had to close it and open one on my laptop, and got one after waiting 3 minutes. Seems like the system is being funky.

allat0nce.bsky.social•35 days ago

Damn, I had to switch browsers to see what’s happening

packs.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thanks again Wario. Always coming through for me.

ladytacobellum.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thank you!!!

garglephlumpian.bsky.social•35 days ago

I haven't received a single email from them about this of Switch 2s. I think they lost my email address 😅

jawabreaker.bsky.social•35 days ago

Just got mine at 2:25 EST and I checked out by 1:08.

bobojam.bsky.social•35 days ago

Couldn’t get through the queue on Safari on my phone, but it worked on Firefox on my PC in about 10 minutes just now. Was able to purchase easily

tylamb86.bsky.social•35 days ago

Got one! Had to checkout on safari because chrome wouldn’t work

mysticsushii.bsky.social•35 days ago

I was in line for well over an hour. I was able to add to cart and check out no problem. They did a great job with the limit, so if you're still in line, stay there. Odds are good that they're in stock.

erennial.bsky.social•35 days ago

had two laptops open, one got in line at 10:12 pst the other at 10:19, 10:19 one got a controller about 10 minutes ago, the 10:12 one is still in line lol

erennial.bsky.social•35 days ago

finally got in on the 10:12 one. 1 hour and 37 minutes in queue.

darthtastrophe.bsky.social•35 days ago

Just got mine too.

kochalka.bsky.social•35 days ago

up got sale and Nintendo still hasn't mentioned if the new Gamecube controller for Switch 2 has analog shoulder buttons or not.

towndarling.bsky.social•35 days ago

what? obviously it does. that’s the whole point.

kochalka.bsky.social•35 days ago

What makes it obvious? Nintendo might think the whole point is that it LOOKS like a real gamecube controller, for nostalgia, not that it has all the same functions.

towndarling.bsky.social•35 days ago

that’s not how the NSO controllers work. they’re pretty much exact replicas down to the material. hell, the famicom controllers even have the microphone.

not to mention that nintendo has manufactured fully functional wired gamecube controllers for both recent smash games. they’re obviously analog.

nataliispeaks.bsky.social•35 days ago

the real question is whether or not the software will support analogue input, which is up to the developer tbh

towndarling.bsky.social•35 days ago

i’m actually not sure how the NSO controllers are seen on a system level. they patched in analog support for Mario sunshine in 3DAS, wonder if this will work for that (probably not)

rebron.bsky.social•35 days ago

Got one after waiting an hour in queue, I opened up a separate tab on another browser and it literally went through within 10 minutes. cant make this shit up lmao

boolbordan.bsky.social•35 days ago

You're a legend. Been in queue over an hour in Opera, opened up another session in Edge and got one within 10 minutes.

nxnw.bsky.social•35 days ago

Just got one so there is some stock still available.

cleandesign.me•35 days ago

Anyone know if they are still sending out new invites for the consoles? I thought I would have been in the first batch as I am a day 1 Switch owner, a day one Nintendo Online member as well as subscribing day 1 when it went paid. 3 Switches logging 20 hours a week each. Maybe it is a lottery system?

kerkin.zone•35 days ago

No, that's over

cleandesign.me•32 days ago

Guess not. Just got an email from them saying they are still sending out invites for prepurchase and I am still in line.

kerkin.zone•32 days ago

Yes sorry, I saw after I posted that they are still sending them out. My bad.

tzsphinxsckh.bsky.social•35 days ago

I am still waiting for the email confirmation with it nearly 2 hours since I ordered it. I did get a email that someone on my wishlist got a discount.

jstevens.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yep I got my order in at 1:23pm and just now got the email lol seems like they’re very backed up as expected

tzsphinxsckh.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yeahhhh. I just got mine as well. Mind you I was one of the early ones that preordered it.

tzsphinxsckh.bsky.social•35 days ago

I finally got the email after waiting over 2 hours.

coldfever594.bsky.social•35 days ago

It will show up in “orders” on your Nintendo account
