I really wanted to preorder through GameStop snd use some credit towards the cost, but as of right now, their preorder page is not active.

I'm reading so many stories  about preorders gone wrong, that sites are not working and it's a bunch of chaos. Yet I snagged mine very quickly. The reports make me think I did something wrong and I keep checking my confirmation email to make sure I really have an actual preorder.

Well congratulations on snagging one. And enjoy the uneasiness that you're going to experience the rest of the day as a result of your smooth transaction.

The all digital game key cards for 3rd party releases in Japan is worrying.

Didn’t do the pre-order thing for the Switch 2. Sleep was more important. LOL

Two Nintendo youtubers are live streaming as they camp out for preorders.

Just, why?

I camped out for a console only once. I waited a couple hours to get my Wii pre-ordered at GameStop. I got there at 7:30am and was 14th in line.

The store was nice enough to hand out vouchers at 9am, so we didn't have to wait until it opened at 10am to pay. It was especially nice for me since the kids in line asked me what games I was going to get my kids. They looked at me oddly when I told them it was for me and I didn't have kids. One of them said it was cool that I was still playing games at my age. Hrm  That's the first time I actually felt old LOL

There's no way I'd do that today, though.

The only time I ever pre-ordered a console was the Wii U. I think we all know how well that worked out.

My local Best buy had a lot of Wii U consoles available on launch day; no pre-order required. I only saw one guy buying one. That's when I figured Nintendo was in trouble. I almost bought one, but held off another year for more games to come out.

Well, that was quick. Mods have already been released to fix the colorgrading issues for Oblivion Remastered. Looks much more like the original. PC gaming rocks. 👍


View on YouTube

Could use more bloom, though.

I never did the camping thing. The Wii and GameCube are the only consoles I picked up on day one.

I hope Nintendo adds some Switch 2 games as a part of the voucher program. I would love to preorder Donkey Kong and Metroid.

Played a bit of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Very beautiful looking game, engaging gameplay, and an interesting premise.

Shin'en interview confirled it's all new tracks. Will be oicking the new FAST up sale day as the Switch2 then. Gameshare, where only one copy of the game is required, works over the internet too. That'll need to be a pretty fast connection though! Badum-tsss...

Always found the handling too heavy on FAST.

Might get it anyway just to see how it looks.

They have a similar function on Wolfenstein youngblood on switch.

You can buy a version where you can play with a friend who doesn't own the game. I assume you send them a code, they download a bit of the game or a whole game,  but they can only play online with you?
