It looks really fun! But I am among the many who feel that the asking price is too high. I'll look forward to playing this at parties when the price falls by half.

That does look good, but FYI, the link you gave shows that the item is on your personal wish list when I added to cart.

Oh thanks! I edited the link would you mind editing it out of your quote too?
EDIT: Much appreciated.

Done.
Here's some previews of 1, 2, Switch:
It's largely an audio game since it intends for you to face your opponent and not a screen.
Holy shit
I'm gonna pass
I wasn't in hell gonna risk this with the Switch but I changed some payment info for some of my accessories and Sonic Mania SE and my date estimate went to TBD. WTF is going on with this? Always happens with "pre-ordered out" items. Im a Prime member so calling up and nagging them may fix it but I don't want to bother if it means nothing. My Tales of Besria ordet has been sitting on TBD up until yesterday but updated to release date.
Modifying your order has a chance of resetting your shipping priority in the queue. In some extreme cases, it can even cause it to be cancelled. In the future, avoid changes unless necessary. You can contact support to do them for you and to confirm if it'll affect the order's status.

I predict this has the same viral potential as the Wii Fit Girl vid. All you need is, well, a girl.
Would it immediately cancel my order? Or would I find out towards release?

I think it would be more fair to say it is a mix of motion based mini games that use visual, haptic feedback and audio cues. Like that top screenshot of the eating mini game, it is single player, and the only reason he isn't facing the TV is so he can look at the camera for the video stream.
I wouldn't worry about preordered games or accessories, but sold out items might be subject to a cancellation as orders are processed for shipping come release.
It's not a sure thing, but it has happened before with Amazon.
Yeah, I clarified it a bit more in another post. It's not just audio games. Some are visual, some are feedback based, some are reactionary.
Nintendo shows Fast RMX as March and PuyoPuyo as Spring.

Yeah I'm going to grab it for my multiplayer fix with the Switch. I also have a feeling that this game won't drop in price for a long time like most Nintendo first party games so I'd rather just grab it at launch
I didn't want to make another thread and this seems an appropriate topic but have the new Zelda Amiibos been up for sale yet? I wouldn't mind picking up that new FE dual set either. I'm just assuming they already went up and sold out but I was hoping they would do another timeframe sale on them like they did for previous Amiibo.
I think it's just one type that's marked with a + on one side and a - on the other, but I'm not sure.
The Zelda amiibo were up for a pretty short time on Amazon.
That's exactly right.
The new Zelda Amiibos went up and very quickly sold out on Amazon. You can find them readily available on the online stores of Walmart, Best Buy, and GameStop as far as I know.
I wouldn't count on a restock with Amazon, but you never know.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try to contact them.
Apparently it was a "payment related issue". Problem is that they never contacted me to try to correct the issue, they just went ahead and cancelled the order. Which a real dick move because this is a pre-order for a sold-out item.
This was my first order on Target and I used the same credit card I always use on Amazon. Anyway, not a good first impression for Target.

I'm sorry that happened to you. This is actually a somewhat known issue with target when it comes to pre-orders. Their system is AWFUL. Basically what they do is this:
- You make the pre-order and they do an authorization charge (normal)
- Then they continue making authorization charges seemingly at random and constantly until the item actually ships (this is the not normal part and also a huge problem)
It's a huge problem because credit card companies will see these repeated authorizations as fishy sometimes and will decline the charge. If this happens ONCE, and it is very likely to happen since your credit card company is trying to prevent fraud, then Target will cancel your order without question.
It really really really sucks and is a super shitty system. Don't ever pre-order at Target unfortunately.
Lol these GIFS alone have cost them a potential sale on 1, 2 switch.

Depends on how much you are willing to pay now.
As a preorder? Eh... big maybe in the US market. You'll probably have a much easier time importing one via a forwarding service or even straight up.
I do expect a steady amount available the coming weeks after launch though.
And those are the more entertaining ones. I'm not going to rag on 1, 2, Switch too much, but it definitely will be extremely polarizing with audience appeal.

This just puts that right controller's amalog stick even more uncomfortably out of reach.
Saw this last night. Cool and pretty cheap. That joystick in the middle is so odd though.
Amazon too?
Nah. Games like this would be a lot more fun at parties than counting ice cubes or whatever lol
You just count marbles instead of ice cubes!
Amazon doesn't support Shoprunner. Basically, you'll get free two-day shipping at any online store that supports Shoprunner like Newegg and etc.
1, 2, Switch is a party game... or rather, a game clearly meant to be played in a social setting. The issue with it bring advertised as a party game is the fact that the mini-games shown so far aren't exactly the most friendly to an actual party setting. Games that rely on audio cues will be muffled out by your typical party setting with music unless you kill the mood to see one or two people acting like idiots. It'll be hilarious at first, but then you just move on to the next wacky game and so on. Easy Allies/Kyle Bosman said it best: It's going to be a game where Nintendo gets to be naughty without being overt with it. People are going to think dirty thoughts, laugh, and then just drop it.
You'll see 1, 2, Switch at first at a lot of gatherings and what-have-you due to the novelty, but I'll be absolutely amazed if it's a thing a year from now let alone six months. It's not a Wii Sports, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, or Just Dance sort of phenomenon.

I'm seeing this now with my gray Switch preorder from Target. I get e-mail alerts when a charge is made over a certain amount and got one immediately after preordering the morning of the 13th and one today. Worse is that I just saw that I forgot to update my phone number on my billing info. If I remember correctly it only showed my address when I was making the order so it looked fine, but once I looked at the order details after getting the second e-mail I saw the old phone number. There doesn't seem to be any way to change it after the fact. The authorizations are still going through but I don't know if my card company is going to go for a new authorization every week until March.
I tried to get the $30 gift card and they yelled at me. How did you accomplish that?
Thank the lord

Well, those sort of things are generally by happenstance rather than something you mention directly to them.
You could try contacting them voicing your frustration and maybe one of the agents takes pity and offers a gift card of X amount to you. It'll also depend heavily on how many people took advantage of the generosity after hearing about it.

Bleh, Amazon Japan doesn't ship the Nintendo Switch straight up internationally. Might look into a forwarding service, but it'll depend on the fees attached.
You're fine applying gift cards to the order. It's actually the recommended method if you have to change payment options.

If the system works the way it should then it should be fine. There are a few stories of people doing it by themselves and those orders getting cancelled. I did it a couple of days ago by chatting with an amazon rep, and it took like ten minutes. Maybe lengthier, but definitely safer. The choice is yours though.
Learned this the hard way with my NES, luckily I was able to snag a Gamestop pre-order for that.
Hopefully they open more later on.
