A fairly young kid flew to New York City to be the first person in the world to obtain a Nintendo Switch on March 3rd. I don't really understand how he is going to do this but he plans on waiting at the store for a month.

I think he dropped out of school to pursue YouTube. Pretty insane that he's doing this. He posts daily vlogs, I think. I am really curious as to how he's doing this.

[Lulubop]

Triforce is slacking

 

[theangrypirate]

Dude, just preorder one on Amazon.

 

[BY2K]

Triforce is slacking

He's with him.

 

[sanstesy]

👌

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

LOL.. triforce got beat?

edit: I was bout to say, truly a new era for Nintendo

 

[Broken Joystick]

Is it a line if there's only one person?

 

[hupla]

But people in Japan will have it before him because of timezones 🤔

 

[Art Vandilay]

He's gonna be the only person in that line then. Who wants to stand behind a giant pile of shit?

 

[Grim Patron]

Was hoping it was papi g funk.

 

[Martylepiaf]

Dude, just preorder one on Amazon.

^
There is no point to wait outside in our time

 

[DJ88]

In before,

"Why is he doing this when you can just order it online and have it shipped to your door?!"

-Too late.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Someone tell this kid's mother that he isn't dressing warmly enough for NYC winters.

 

[DecoReturns]

If he's that dedicated. I would have assumed he locked a pre-order.

 

[tearsintherain]

Tokyo is 14 hours ahead of New York City, won't they get the switch first? Or places like New Zealand, Australia, etc?

 

[mnz]

Hahaha, Triforce totally said he wouldn't do it anymore

 

[BronsonLee]

Was about to say is this Triforce

 

[Lulubop]

He's with him.

fuck, I didn't watch that far

 

[J-Tier]

Waiting a month? Where there's a will...

 

[Tagyhag]

But people in Japan will have it before him because of timezones 🤔

Lmao he would be shattered if you tell him that.

 

[FeMui]

Triforce is slacking

He probably can't afford it lol



Also OP CND is in college I believe. In his apartment tour he said it is his place to stay for college.

 

[valkillmore]

Ok so he's on-point. Still in it.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Man this kid has made some pretty poor life decisions.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Hahaha, Triforce totally said he wouldn't do it anymore

He brought a tiny friend so it's different now.

 

[Cerium]

How does he plan to wash himself?

 

[kennyamr]

well he's going to waste 96% of his time there... but I guess he's trying to get views so it may work for him... perhaps.

Unless he catches a cold.

 

[Whompa02]

He's probably just sponsored by Nintendo...I work around there lol. Could find out if he's actually waiting.

 

[N° 2048]

 

[kurahador]

What a waste of time. He'll be the only one there anyway.

Probably mooching off his parent's money.

 

[DNAbro]

I hope Nintendo tells him to leave and to at least wait until it's a week out.

 

[Arkeband]

Waiting for the inevitable scene where he takes the tablet out of the box to show a reporter and drops it on the pavement, shattering the screen.

 

[Cerium]

When the stores across the street stop allowing him access to their bathrooms what will he do then?

It's gorilla glass bro.

 

[esmith08734]

I don't think so. I think he makes money off YouTube.

 

[adj_noun]

I can only imagine the thrilling Youtube content we could have received from the folks who camped out for Phantom Menace.

 

[Blak_Status]

The thirst for YT views is real

 

[Randam]

Is it a line if there's only one person?

Good question.
And when more people start showing up, who is in charge of the line?
Who determines who is really first, second and so on.




Oh and how is he editing and uploading his videos?

 

[nkarafo]

He is going to be the first person to get the console... if you exclude people who work in any part of the industry. He really thinks he is going to get it earlier than, say, Reggie's kid or something? Or someone who owns a store and buys some items for himself? Or someone who works in Nintendo in any position?

 

[Sami+]

Man some people are so weird. You really that hyped for 1, 2, Switch? 🤔

 

[Rellik]

It's gorilla glass bro.

It'll definitely shatter then.

Or someone who lives in Japan, Australia etc.

I love this kind of stupid things.
I'll upload a video of my Switch at the end of February.

 

[Pinky]

A month out. I have trouble comprehending people that camp out for 1 week. Insanity. Eh, whatever floats their boat I guess.

Man some people are so weird. You really that hyped for 1, 2, Switch? 🤔

BotW is suddenly no longer a launch title?

🤔

 

[Golgo 13]

Seriously though...

 

[Wanderer5]

Well okay, whatever rocks his boat I guess.

Yeah, he's definitely not going to be the first person. I am more curious about how he's going to live for a month.

 

[Tangeroo]

I think you might be the only one in thread that understands the purpose of this stunt.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

How is he working out the logistics of that? Sleeping bag, food, warmth, liquid, bathroom?

 

[michaelius]

Dude, just preorder one on Amazon.

That wouldn't bring him any publicity.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Triforce really just there to get a free meal tbh.
