I am keeping a tab on my phone open with the Verge link I posted on the last page to reference. I'll be setting up tabs and making sure I'm logged into Walmart, Best Buy, and Target around 10:30pm Central so I'll be ready to roll at 11:00pm. If those fail, Gamestop as a backup at 10:00am tomorrow. Also registered my interest with the MyNintendo store, but hoping it doesn't come to that!

Got my accounts ready on Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Target, and got GameStop as my backup for tomorrow at 11 AM.

FYI Best Buy holds the item for 10 minutes once it's in your cart. So that might be the best option.

What is on everyone's shopping list for tonight? I'm aiming for the MKW bundle, a pro controller, another pair of joycon 2s, and a charging grip for them. Old controllers will work (except being able to wake it from sleep mode), but want 4 joycon 2s for the inevitable Mario Party Jamboree purchase.

That's why I said it's a backup.

I don't expect this to sell out at launch. We'll see.

It won't be like Switch Day 1 or Wii Day 1. Both of those had a brand new Zelda experience to pair, and both launched in bull markets

Has Nintendo said if the new Switch has Blast Processing? I've been waiting decades for Nintendo to finally catch up to Sega.

I got in around 2 minutes early but still have 6 mins to go. Not too hopeful.

Got mine at Target. They're servers are slammed so checkout took a ton of tries, but they're not out.

Did it show you where you were in line at any point? Or a time remaining?

It showed me a timer as soon as I got into the line. Started at 15 minutes I believe.
