Switch Consoles Available For Walk-In Purchases Friday
To say we are excited about the Nintendo Switch would be an understatement. One look at The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild‘s beautiful environments, incredible lighting, weather effects and day/night cycles in the time-lapse video below and you can see why we are pretty jazzed. The Nintendo Switch is only days away from release, and anticipation for the system is at an all-time high. Pre-orders for the console have been sold-out everywhere but fear not, there are still some opportunities to get the system on day one.
Today we learned that Target and Best Buy have both confirmed they will have the Nintendo Switch in stock for its release this Friday on March 3rd, 2017 for non pre-ordered, walk-in purchases.
Specifically, Best Buy will be hosting midnight launch events for the system on Friday at 12:01am local time, while Target will begin selling systems at 8am local time.
Given how quickly that pre-orders have sold at these retailers and others (such as Amazon, GameStop, and more), it’s a safe bet to say that these will be available in very limited quantities, so if you have any hope of grabbing the system on release on Friday, you might want to start getting in line pretty early for a chance to snag the system. This guy in New York has been in line for a few weeks now.
The Nintendo Switch will officially launch on Friday, March 3rd, 2017.
Confirmed titles for the system’s launch include the highly-anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, 1-2-Switch, Snipperclips, and many more.
