- Thread starter That Damn Kid
- Start date
I'm wondering the same. My initial delivery date was scheduled for the 8th, I believe.

the email says you have to pay to upgrade to launch day delivery sooooo thats that
I wonder if Best Buy will do the same, I have Zelda SE preordered there
Well, shit. Hey! At least we know they're on their way!
I have one reserved at Amazon and one at Gamestop and i'm not sure if I even want a switch BUT I really do want to play Zelda and don't have a wii u, decisions decisions.
Same here. I already replied to an inquiry on launch day delivery. I will be on travel otherwise and it would be nice to bring it along during the trip.
I also don't remember shipping options .. So maybe I just messed it up myself , maybe they are mistaken, maybe they are just playing games and try to make a few extra bucks with extra shipping..who knows. Lets see what their CS says.

I prefer OT titles to be more conservative and considered, so I would like to put forward:
Nintendo Switch [OT] HAHA HAHA YEAH!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'll be contacting their CS by phone tomorrow. I'll let you know what they tell me.

"...will come to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on April 25 in North America. Sega will release the game in Europe a few days later on April 28.
The Switch version of Puyo Puyo Tetris will be available to purchase digitally for $29.99 and physically on a Switch game card for $39.99. PS4 owners will only have the option to buy the game on disc, however. That version will cost $29.99."

Hmm? I aint buying that then. Will look for or wait to see if Zagg come out with a glass invisible shield for it.
Do you work for Best Buy? I've talked to several employees in the LA area that have told me they will be selling the Switch at 9pm March 2nd to match with EST. This was told to me in store as well as over the phone at 6 different Best Buys. I'm a little aggravated now if this isn't the case.

Yea I had a feeling it would come off that way, sorry bout that.
Right? But now that Zelda on Switch is selling out, it seems like I would not be able to get both if i went that route anyways.
I don't but all of their signage, info, marketing, etc. say that the console, games and accessories will be available on Friday, March 3rd at 12:01 a.m. local time.
It is even on their website:

Just get the superior Ilummishield brand when it ships in late March

Impossible? No. Difficult? Yes.
I'd recommend getting early to either a local Target, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, or Best Buy. I hear they will have some stock that isn't for pre-orders.
Might just be a west coast thing because I've emailed with my local BB manager and it's definitely midnight here in the midwest.
Ok. I'll just call them back and ask them closer to launch. They may be using old logic but I'm surprised that none of them knew this
I personally am not shocked, but my local Best Buy's aren't the most intelligent when it comes to gaming. Might be a regional thing. Most of the employees seem like they barely passed training. I like Best Buy for GCU, price match, reward points, and ability to put my hands on a piece of tech before buying. The employees though never seem super knowledgeable.
Also, I thought previous console launches were based on local time. Games haven't been though in recent years.
Considering that the accessories are pretty much sold out everywhere for preorder, and the best buy I'm going to never gets much of anything (used to work there) has me doubting this.

Just got an email saying they're going to charge the card on the 25th. Units are going to be shipped out on the 2nd.
Someone posted earlier that they got an email saying their card would be charged on the 25th. I ordered through GameStop.com too, but haven't received any notification of when I will be charged (I used PayPal).

I'm in the same boat man.
Try calling your local Gamestop every day starting Friday to see if any pre-orders cancelled, which is what a Gamestop employee told me to try. I'm also going to see if Target will be opening at midnight for it, if not I'll try Best Buy; either way I'll get there an hour early probably.

I remember they said on their site that preorders were given free 2 day shipping, but not release date delivery.
