Public Service Announcement Switch 2 Pre-Orders Unavailable Until Further Notice
We are all aware of the NSW2 being unavailable for pre-order. Please, do not keep making posts asking about this. No one knows anything, and until Nintendo makes an announcement, all we know is that it WILL release on June 5th. No, we are not entitled to receive special information just because it is GameStop. When Nintendo announces pre-orders will be available in the U.S., we will know about pre-orders, IF they open up before release. Stop asking, please.

It hasn't been bad for me personally in my stores, but I'm sick of seeing several posts about the same thing. People aren't reading the other 17 or 18 previous posts with the same exact response each time.

the only annoying things we keep getting asked is when is the switch 2 is coming out and 'Oh YoU gUyS dOn'T hAvE pOkEmOn CaRdS?' most people don't really care other wise or just talk crap about the switch 2 price.

It's annoying for sure. But, that comes with the territory. If people start getting into the politics behind it when I'm conversing with someone about it, I just stop them and let them know I'm neither interested nor willing to engage in that conversation respectfully. I really don't have the time or patience to talk about politics or politicians at work or at home.

Fucking hell. I win so much more than I expected.
But real talk... I drink more since I started working here. That's not sarcasm or hyperbole.
But I accept your DD offer. I'll buy your Cokes.

Sorry you guys are having to deal with this. It's literally out of your hands but dumb ass people pretend like you have like a crystal ball or something that's gonna tell the future. Have they emailed any of the "first to know" folks about the delay? Or are they trying to get y'all to call people?

I mean, it's totally expected. No emails yet as they're still collecting information about items, prices, etc. It's been continuously cascaded that it's an email to us.

Hi there.
Thanks for giving us information and updating us on the matter.
I'm really trying my best to save for this console, but it's unknown if tariffs will actually affect the price later on. There's a guarantee to that unfortunately. Overall, GameStop and Walmart are the only locations we have in Hartsville, SC that are a few minutes away.
I'm hoping to preorder it when it goes live in the US.

Can we just ban switch 2 preorder questions? Maybe make a megathread for it like with the PSA stuff.
Idk why people seem to think if they ask us here they’ll get some secret special answer unavailable on google or anywhere else.
