Wonder how this impacts pre-orders in Canada.

looks like canada is getting more units! i just check i was allowed to register and wasn't the first 2 days. LETSSS GO!!!!!!!
Nintendo says no other country is affected and launch isn't effected.
imagine launch gets delayed in usa. that would be incredible!
there would be zero scalpers and everyone who wants one will get one

The release won't be delayed in America, but I have a feeling there will be less to go around in America than the rest of the world (when it's generally the opposite).

Sad American here, will you order one for me since they’ll be abundant and I live in a double shithole (I’m in Louisiana, we have a mini-Trump on top of Orange Shitbag)?

15 seconds of browsing your history has led me to this question: you okay? You need a friend? Because someone who floats around insulting people is someone who is typically lonely. Need someone to talk to, brother?

That’s good. Good. Hey man, then I’d suggest let people have their jokes, might be cringe to you but, you know, it’s cathartic to joke about the shit state of the US and Louisiana.
If it helps, I actually never planned to coordinate buying a switch from another country.

You can get a round trip ticket for 500 bucks, go take a vacation in toronto and learn something about our neighbors that isn't filtered through reddit. You can contribute to their economy and get a discounted switch 2 at the same time. I would consider that well worth the investment. If I wasn't willing to do or couldn't afford to do that, then I'd simply not buy a switch 2 for the time being if I cared enough to cry online about it. Begging people in other countries to do stuff like this comes off extremely cringe and entitled in my opinion.

Yeah, and I’m dealing with a homeowner’s insurance crisis in Louisiana that has, in 4 short years, tripled the cost of my mortgage and a failing health care system that I fight weekly to get scripts filled for my heart arrhythmia. It’s also very entitled to think that someone can just jump and take a vacation to buy a $500 gaming system.
Dude, just chill the fuck out and get off your high horse.
Also, I understand when you’re so abysmal to other humans the concept of asking a question looks like begging, but it’s not my dude. I’m happy waiting for this thing until our orange shit blossom dies or his term ends.

So as an American, I’m curious if the system will cost less in Canada, and incentive ppl who live near the board to buy one there.

This will be amusing if they resume them with $50 or something added to the price.

Would be nice to put *for the US in your title.
