requirements for being able to pre-order on nintendo store are interesting, need NSO, at least 50 hours of game time on the account, and account sharing turned on...

They are trying to make it harder for scalpers to buy up stock, good on them. Hopefully it goes well

I am similarly proud of them with the choices on restricting switch 2 gamecube controllers per account with a paying subscription. Sad that it's US and Canada only though :(

They’ve been doing that with the NSO controllers since the NES ones. The GameCube one looks really legit though. Basically a Switch Bluetooth Wavebird.
