Oh, how I adore Nintendo. Sure, they have their huge faults and can be very anti-consumer with the way they handle things, particularly on the fan project side of things. But man, I can't help but love them.
Abusive relationship? Absolutely.
With the Switch 2 rumored to launch in early summer 2025, and with the Direct, barring any huge disasters in the world, set to air April 2nd, my plan of action is beginning to come together as we draw closer to the date. And with that, I'm just gonna talk about my intentions for the day of and the day after.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct is going to air on the morning of Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, at 9am Eastern Time. I'll be up loooong before that to prep myself. Get a big pot of coffee going and maybe even breakfast of some sort. Gonna get a new scented wax melt specifically for the event and have that going as well, as I like to tie special events to smells.
After the presentation, I'm gonna head out for grocery shopping for the day to get stuff for a dinner that I can only refer to as "White People Making Tacos". But before I even do that, my plan is to run by GameStop and chat up some of the employees to find out if anything had been communicated with them regarding pre-orders at that point. Depending on the answer, I may or may not be back the next morning, say around 7am, to wait outside for the store to open to secure myself an additional pre-order should the one I get following the Direct fall through.
Personally, I'm hoping that the Official Nintendo Store site itself offers pre-orders on the console. Getting it right from the source would make me feel a whole heck of a lot better. I'm absolutely terrified of mail getting delayed or, worse, getting stolen when it comes to stuff like this, hence why I also plan to get a pre-order in person and sell the other one off (at sticker price) to someone that may not be as lucky.
Along with the console, my checklist of additional purchases are as such:
- Games (Duh)
- Pro Controller
- Screen Protector (Already taken care of)
- Case (Already taken care of)
- Grip (Already taken care of)
My plan before that is to have all of my debt paid off when the next statement comes down later this month. I want to put everything on credit and just use the monthly payments to bolster my credit score.
Launch day plans haven't come close to being finalized as of yet, but I plan to take my vacation from work that week just to stay at home and play the blasted thing before they pull me away again.
