In a current replace to its web site about its direct gross sales program for the Switch 2, Nintendo says that as a result of “the very excessive demand” for the console, “supply by June 5 shouldn’t be assured” and that “your invitation electronic mail might arrive after the Nintendo Switch 2 launch.”
Nintendo has already mentioned that the preliminary invites for eligible registrations on its My Nintendo Store web site would exit on May eighth. The necessities to be eligible are fairly strict, seemingly to thwart scalpers.
But now, because it did for Japan yesterday, the corporate is signaling that US demand for consoles by its personal retailer is kind of excessive. If you have been banking on getting a Switch 2 by the platform, you would possibly need to be ready to doubtlessly wait.
In its replace, Nintendo suggests visiting “our collaborating retail companions,” however the preorders which have occurred to date, which kicked off at 12AM ET on Thursday at Best Buy, Target, and Walmart, have been messy.
Ahead of these preorders, the listing of retail companions on Nintendo’s web site included Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and GameStop. As I write this, solely GameStop, which opens on-line preorders at 11AM ET on Thursday, has a brand on the web page.
