This isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but Play-Asia is currently offering some Japanese Nintendo Switch preorders at a lower price. These will play in English and the only time you'll have trouble is if there is DLC. I'm mainly looking at the 1st party Nintendo games as they don't often get expansive DLC offerings. Super Mario RPG and Super Mario Wonder are $43 each, but stick in Pikmin 1+2 for $32 or Warioware: Move It! for $36 or any other game $20+ and you'll qualify to get free shipping. Close to a buy 2, get 1 free deal for those interested.

Super Mario RPG: https://www.play-asia.com/super-m.../13/70g9nd
Super Mario Wonder: https://www.play-asia.com/super-m.../13/70g9nr
Pikmin 1+2: https://www.play-asia.com/pikmin-.../13/70g9v3
WarioWare: Move It!: https://www.play-asia.com/wariowa.../13/70g9qd
Pikmin 4: https://www.play-asia.com/pikmin-.../13/70fpkn
Star Ocean Second Story R: https://www.play-asia.com/star-oc.../13/70g9pr

EDIT: Thanks to mogbert for the extra 5% off code - SWITCHUP . Use at checkout and will be available to be used at the screen before final checkout.

Keep in mind that Play Asia will hold your entire order and will only ship it when everything in your order has been released. So if you ordered, for example, Pikman 4 (which releases in a few weeks) on the same order as Wario Ware (releases November 23) then you won't get Pikman until November when Wario Ware releases.

Their free economy shipping is pretty slow - I'm on the west coast and it takes about 2 weeks as the packages get shipped from Hong Kong.

If you're patient, or have other already released games you want from them, this could be a good deal. Otherwise, that copy of Pikman 4 you're waiting on so that it could be bundled with other games to get free shipping will definitely be cheaper during Black Friday.
For most first-party games even DLC won't be a problem, as Nintendo typically releases the same version worldwide. The only notable exception is Splatoon 2, which had regional releases.

The only real downside is the box design, that's it. Great deal!
I think I'll just stick to doing the usual hand n mouth stuff for a half off discount @ Target

It depends on how you order. They ship only when all items in order are ready to ship. If you use economy shipping it will take a while. I've used play asia a lot and you will not get it close to release unless you pay for expedite shipping

They really do that for pre-orders? So if I ordered all of the games in the OP (except WarioWare) in one order, I'd have to wait until November (When Star Ocean releases) before getting a single item from my order?

Will you get charged right away or when the game is released and shipped?

Yes, a lot of places do that with pre orders. You can split your order but you need a certain amount for free shipping as well.

Now that's a much more suitable price for super mario RPG. I'm wondering if I'll have to go through menus to change it to english language.

No, games follow the system setting by default.

It will default to whatever your system language is
