Vote with your wallet. Buy it if you think what Nintendo is doing is okay, if this is how you want to be treated; the choice is yours.

That's fair - I'm hoping the thread is helpful though for those trying to get ahold of one and not have to pay over retail on any marketplace.

Quote from John6143 :
The next pokemon game (legends Z-A) is rumored to be switch 1 compatible, so you will have a nice selection of pokemon games to choose from (BDSP, SwSh, LegArc, LGP/E, Scar/Viol) and Legends Z-A. BUT if you are trying to future proof yourself for gen 10 then grab the switch 2. Also, Scarlet/Violet have visual enhancements and performance improvements when using the switch 2. With that said, you could start with the older pokemon games on the switch lite, then upgrade to the switch 2 in the future. Digital and physical purchases for switch lite will transfer to the switch 2. Hope this helps!
It's not just rumor, it's been confirmed from the beginning. There will also be a Switch 2 Edition.

Technically it's 12AM EDT, or ET, since daylight saving time is in effect in most of the US.

Is full payment required at point of pre order or do they take payment when it ships etc?
Usually pre-order take a hold on the amount until it's shipped

Quote from nomenclature :
You put all the times as EST but I'm guessing you meant EDT as all of the east coast is observing daylight savings time now. 12AM EST is when most people on the east coast will see "1 am" on their clocks and people on the west coast will see 10pm on their clocks. EST vs EDT also mentioned at https://slickdeals.net/f/18267982-starts-april-24-nintendo-switch-2-pre-order-megathread-console-449-bundle-499-free-shipping?p=176734201#post176734201
Fixed as ET if that works - ty!

Seems just like a repeat of WiiU.By that, I mean in terms of big N going for a smaller audience at more profit.Glad I skipped that generation. I ended up getting most of their 'off' product lines like the N64 used at the end of the console cycle, but skipped the WiiU entirely.When Nintendo makes a "revolution" product, they tend to price it well, and go gangbusters.That ain't this.





Fine with me I still play my wii u every weekend. It has way better features than the switch. I also play my switch of course but people can cry about wii u and miss out for being stubborn. Also switch 2 has better hardware than a steam deck so uhh us it's worth $450

First party Nintendo exclusives would have to be released on the Steam Deck for that to work out for prospective Switch 2 buyers.

There are no $90 games. Be angry about $80 Mario Kart if you want but stop spreading misinformation.

LOL at the downvotes. Do the facts offend you?

Apparently every cart is digital download anyway so it is the move
More misinformation. Game Key Cards are one option, and they are clearly labeled on the package. Traditional physical is also an option, and it's extremely likely that all Nintendo-published games will be traditional with the game on the cartridge.

The way people will defend a billionaire corporation who displays anti-consumer behavior to the death is hilarious.
The sales will reveal what the masses really think. Vote with your wallet!
For those that want it at launch, thank the OP!
I'll probably hold off as I have a backlog of S1 games that won't benefit from the perf bump of the S2 so $450 just to enjoy those on a .9 inch bigger screen (OLED to S2) isn't really worth it to me.

Damn, I thought SlickDeals people were high-information consumers. These comments have proven otherwise, it's like I'm on Reddit.

I'm passing on this too. Shovelware is out of control with Nintendo, and the Switch 1 is good enough for indie games. I use the PS5 Pro for AAA gaming.
