Well the pre-orders in UK and Europe seem to be a joke... https://store.nintendo.co.uk/en/nintendo-switch-2

Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 consoles will open on My Nintendo Store from 08/04. To reward the most dedicated Nintendo Switch players in Europe and the UK, the opportunity to pre-order a Nintendo Switch 2 console from My Nintendo Store will initially be offered on an invite-only basis to selected Nintendo Switch Online members. Initial invitees will be selected based on the following criteria:

Nintendo Switch Online membership status

• Has been a Nintendo Switch Online member for at least two years continuously by 31/03/2025, with an active membership on the day that the pre-order is placed. For family memberships, the person who purchased the membership will be eligible. Other people in the family membership are not eligible.

Play time

• Has spent a certain amount of time playing purchased/paid Nintendo Switch games, prioritising those with more playtime. • Sharing usage information with Nintendo. • Has opted in to share usage information with Nintendo to customise offers and recommendations.

Receive email messages from Nintendo

• Has opted in to receive promotional emails and messages from Nintendo, and be opted in on the day the invitation email is sent. Receive email messages from Nintendo

Eligibility is based on data as of 31/03/2025.

Supervised Nintendo Accounts are not eligible to purchase on My Nintendo Store. For family memberships, the person who purchased the membership will be eligible to pre-order. Other people in the family membership are not eligible. Over time, the selection criteria thresholds may be lowered and more people could be invited to pre-order a Nintendo Switch 2 console. Throughout, we will remain focussed on prioritising the most dedicated Nintendo Switch players (while stocks last).

Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 digital games, upgrade packs and amiibo will open on My Nintendo Store from 24/04.

That's a bunch of bull. I deliberatly do not share analytics whenever given the option to opt-out.

I don't love it either but they could also do nothing and guarantee scalpers snapping up 99% of preorders.

Same. Well, it's not like I was going to be able to afford it at launch anyway. And then having to pay to get improved performance on switch 1 games (lookin at you, Korok Forest)... yeah, kinda bleh about the whole thing.
