This email that I just received from Amazon made me laugh:

We have good news! We're able to get this part of your order to you faster than we originally promised:

"Splatoon 2 - Switch"
Previous estimated arrival date: January 01, 2018
New estimated arrival date: December 29, 2017

Got the Switch and Zelda game pre-ordered on Amazon, but I don't see a listing for the Pro controller yet. Hopefully they list that soon too.
 
Still waiting for the neon to go up on amazon

Dang I goofed on Zelda this morning. I though the $99 version was everything. Oh well I still got a Switch so I'm very happy for that.

God that bundle is garbage. Fucking GameStop, they pull this shit all the time

I hate GameStop's practices, as well, and I have no interest in that bundle, either (since I usually only buy digital). I just wanted to give people who might want those games an option if the other ones sell out.

Oh no, mad props to you for posting it. Just wanted to call out GameStop for this nasty practice.

Based on what people who reported Gamestop preorder numbers are saying it seems like Nintendo is going to ship a lot fewer Neon systems (it seems like at least a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio in favor of the grey) so the preorders for those may sell out faster they the grey unit.

My Gamestop said initially they were told they had 20 preorders then, after the event, they were told about 6 additional neon ones. He complained that they didn't even have SKU's for both until yesterday afternoon so I'm thinking all the preorder unit totals people were posting prior to the event were less the few neons they were going to get. Once they were revealed, they were added to the pile.

They seemed very aloof about the whole thing so I'm kinda worried they don't know what they'll be getting and I might've been sold something they won't have... The gamestop by my house is reaaaal bad about up-selling preorders and stuff.

Thanks. Gamestop doesn't charge until the item is shipped so fuck it, I pre-ordered. If for some reason I want to cancel, I'll do it.

I'm a bit worried by how long these things have been available, but I'm hopeful that GameStop isn't gonna pull a GameStop and somehow screw up my pre-order. I even paid extra for shipping to supposedly get it on launch day.

Same here. Thanks. For some reason, I am oddly drawn to the Neon sku. Will be hunting it down on Amazon if and when it becomes available.

I want the neon SKU, as well, but I figured that I'd want other Joy-Con colors, so I pre-ordered the neon Joy-Cons, anyway. Speaking of which, does anyone know what the difference between the different neon Joy-Con SKUs is on Amazon? The one that I pre-ordered shows retail packaging, and the item name clearly indicates that you're getting both colors.

Here's that listing:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6QJ58Y/?tag=neogaf0e-20

It's now sold out, but there are two other listings for sets of Joy-Cons. There's only a single photo, but it's the same photo in both listings, showing both colors of Joy-Cons. The item name for each only indicates one color, though.

Here're those listings:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MT8USZN/?tag=neogaf0e-20 (Blue)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MT8RT5I/?tag=neogaf0e-20 (Red)

They're both still available.

Also, has it been confirmed that each Joy-Con (whether sold by itself or as part of a set) will include a strap? The listing that I pre-ordered clearly shows the strap attachment, so I assume that it includes that, but the other listings don't show the strap attachment, making it less clear.
