Can I ask a question that may appear to be a bit snarky but isn't intended to be?
Why didn't you guys pre-order? You post on here, you know the rules of the game for new consoles. Or were you surprised by the positive feedback (I was too but I had a pre-order in place in case I needed it fortunately)?
Exactly the same at pretty much every store here. I'm sure Nintendo has gotten a little gun-shy with the horrible launch of the Wii U, which was the last time I can remember seeing a significant amount of Nintendo hardware in one place.Nintendo hardware is represented at my Walmart by a single Mario Kart 2DS.
It's pathetic.
The Switch was always an appealing concept to me, honestly, but when they had that Nindies presentation a few weeks ago, I knew I had to get one.I guess the hype was pretty-low key until the Zelda impressions started coming in and then it was too late

Anyone know if the Nintendo Store in NYC has any stock?

It's not like 0 people have bought newly arrived Switches in the last two weeks. But of course it's not like they were producing a million a week, either.Not really sure how you plan 1 shipment for launch and leave it at that for 3 weeks.
I didn't have the money when pre-orders were going up, and at that time I wasn't sure if I wanted one. Too much was unknown about the system until like a week before it launched, at which point it was too late to pre-order anywhere.Can I ask a question that may appear to be a bit snarky but isn't intended to be?

another day, another .01% chance of finding a Switch. *eye roll*

Welp, put an order in on the Nintendo UK store for a grey Switch, Zelda and a Pro controller under the assumption it would be a few weeks before stock gets in. But it's now saying the controller and Zelda have been dispatched (obviously more surprised about the controller there) with the console itself "awaiting stock pick" with an estimated dispatch date of today. Or is the awaiting stock pick just a standard placeholder thing?
Yet your post doesn't shine an iota of a light on the manufacturing process.
Not really sure how you plan 1 shipment for launch and leave it at that for 3 weeks. Then again Nintendo is obviously new to the hardware business as it's a reoccurring theme for them.
My Walmart had four in yesterday afternoon, but only Grays. Give a Nintendo console a little color and people flock to that one the most.

I have my NYC Prime Now auto-refresh on. Gunna be a long day
Got a zoolert for $400 Switch at Jet.com. Dumb. Took Jet off my notifications.
Yeah, how in the world are they selling that for $500? 3rd party reseller I guess? That is annoying.
at least I know the zoolerts are working!
I think I'll try a few retail stores this week. After that I dunno, I may just temporarily give up and wait until I can order one online.
Seems there was a big re-stock on Targets on the West Coast. Meanwhile, NYC is dry.
Well I broke down and bought one online... paid within my pain tolerance lol. I don't have time this week to go to stores (work is insane all the sudden) so I would rather have one by this weekend (with shipping) than wait mid April... I hope you get one for a good price!
If Zelda didn't have the amazing reviews it had, buying a switch would be pointless at this point.
I had no faith in the hype (got one week one without preorder) but once I saw people I trust talking about how great it was I wanted in.
Gotcha, which color did you get?
You can still find some Switches here in Chile when you walk into some stores (Microplay and WePlay still have stock, Zmart is sold out completely), which is not too surprising given how expensive it is (around $520 without factoring any extras).
Curiously, the Neon Switch is sold out everywhere. Only Grey ones are in stock.
I finally managed to order a switch here in the UK. Asda has it in stock for click and collect from my local store in London. They didn't have Zelda but Tesco Direct did for 48 quid (cheaper than my current amazon order). Should be able to pick them both up tomorrow.
These Zelda reviews have been killing me.
I went to EB Games and asked if they had the Switch in stock and the guy laughed at me

Anyone been to the Nintendo store today? Looking to pick up a Pro controller but not sure if they still have them in stock. Last time I called them, they said yes, I get there and they say "no, we've been sold out for a few days". I JUST CALLED, YOU ASSHATS.
i didn't even know Nintendo World NYC answered their phones, last time i called I just got an automated message with store hours. Anyway, last week they had tons of Pro controllers on shelves. Not sure today tho

I returned an extra unopened Switch to Walmart, figuring someone would be glad to get it. The women working customer services ripped into it and tossed everything under the assumption I was some kind of scammer. When they were done it didn't look fit to buy.
Just picked up a grey one here at Target. I was surprised I was the first one sold today and they still have 9 more left. Hmm, I wonder if I should pick up another just in case?
Which target?
