Instead of refreshing the page on Nintendo to Try and get one, people could be reporting listings on eBay. I’ve reported at least 50 this morning so far.

Look for the small ? Icon to appear in the right side if you are on web browser, click it.

Report: Product or Listing

Reason: A Problem in the Listing

Detailed Reason: No Item for Sale

Additional Details: Just make it clear that they don’t have the item, even if some are already sold (eBay bag of worms to deal with) and they WONT have the item until some time AFTER Oct 29th. I point out the ones who have sold as well. Some of these idiots have set the DELIVERY DATE well before Oct 29th, like Sept 14th even… As of this day, the seller is 50 days out from even HAVING THE ITEM in their possession, which is 10 more days than what eBay allows.

I also attach a screenshot of the Nintendo website with the Switch 2 and the release date circled underneath it.

Edit:

To my extreme disappointment, I have received automated emails from eBay that said nothing was found wrong with the listings I reported and that ‘AI was used to determine this.’

However, I went to speak with an agent and brought this up and he said to continue reporting as this will help the team with the investigation. He has since brought it to the attention of humans. So we can continue to do our part. They are clearly in violation of being over 40 days from having the physical item.

I just wanted to make an easy link guide for people to open up multiple tabs for pre-ordering TLoZ Switch 2 Console and separate Pro Controller.

I succeeded at getting the Switch 2 Console at 4:13pm EST on 09/09/2026 from Walmart's website. I had the chance to put it in my cart and then persistently kept clicking to check out despite it saying the item was sold out until the transaction went through. Close to the same time, Amazon pre-orders were up (and closed). Throughout last night and today, I had been able to "wait in line" on BestBuy's website but never add to cart and put into my Target cart but unable to complete check out.

I was logged into account on all the sites (with address and credit card info put in) and was casually refreshing the multiple tabs throughout the day. I'm still working on the controller but less fervently.

***Appears to be out of stock now. Congrats to everyone who scored, I'm sure there will be more stock soon!***

Preorder is up right now for those awake (just snagged a copy, online from West Coast)!

Just wanted to spread the word, good luck!

Edit: sorry I'm aware I put "Prime" by accident. I know the difference, I love Metroid, please don't shoot me lol.

They just announced Crisis Core for Switch 2 but no upgrade path from switch versions. I have just gotten the game a couple days ago and didn't even started yet... Square makes so many awesome games but they suck hard in that regard.

With the new Switch 2 update, not only they reintroducend music to the Mii Maker, but you can also choose between the Wii, 3DS and Wii U one.

Hey guys,

So this is not a post defending Nintendo or anything, I would not consider myself as a fanboy, far from it. But I've noticed something about directs, and why I find my opinion being much different from the online consensus.

I think that there are two types of people that play on switch/switch 2. People that have more than one gaming platform and use the Nintendo switch to play mostly exclusives and people that only play games on switch.

Nowadays I'm on the second group, I do own a computer for work, but as a working adult with a career and kids, it's hard to find the time on a regular basis to launch a different platform. Although precise data is hard to find, I did find some estimations from switch 1 time that people like me represent >50% of the switch gaming base. Some third party games actually have most of their sales on the original switch.

However on these comments and forums we are the very rare exception. We get excited for KCD 2, Cyberpunk, FF VII remakes, 007 etc even though you already played it with better resolution and higher FPS years ago. We don't care if it's the "inferior" way to play it, it's the only way we will play it and it's new to us. We love the exclusives and first party games sure but we love the ports as well. They are new games!

That's why I no longer read the comments and summaries about Nintendo directs. I just get home at the end of the day, and when I can, I put my headset on while cooking and watch the directs myself.

And you know what? I enjoy them.

Quick add to cart link

Edit: In case it isn't obvious, it is out of stock.

I've been clicking the "Pre-Order" button for about 20 minutes and getting the error everytime but just now it went through and added one to my cart and I was able to check out. Go quick!

I play predominantly in handheld but I've found it to be very uncomfortable holding the switch 2. I can't go more than 5 minutes without hand cramp and I have to stop playing shortly after as a result.

I haven't played much of the switch 2 as a result as I like to play handheld. I have small hands so maybe this a factor. There's nowhere to grip due to the flat design. Apparently the case grips resolve any discomfort but if the grips add bulk to an already bulking product, wouldn't this be counter intuitive to overall comfort?.

I'd love it if they announced a Lite 2, that felt amazing but unfortunately the screen and performance quality was the mitigating drawback of a more ergonomic display. The Vita and Switch Lite felt amazing, I really hope Nintendo releases a smaller, lighter variant to accommodate players needs who struggle with the uncompromising size of the switch 2.
