Nintendo brought to launch the game console at night when people around the world were waiting in line to get the Nintendo Switch 2.
For the first time in eight years, Nintendo fans had the opportunity to wait in line like a good day as they spent hundreds of dollars on a new game console and its accessories. The switch replaces the switch, which debuted in 2017 and sold 150 million units.
I waited in line and shopping at the new Nintendo Store in Union Square in San Francisco. The first 15 -year -old Dean in the line was dressed like an Irish Liprichovan. He told me that he arrived at the Pacific at 7am, which was about 14 hours ahead of the 9pm Pacific launch. Nevertheless, he said he was glad to leave $ 500 switches (or if you don’t buy Mario Cart World Bundle, $ 50 less). This was his first console launch event.
On the checkout stand, Nintendo’s honorees were trained by his senior officers to transfer the console to another from a respected (Nintendo of America EVP Devan Pradard) until he received a hand through Dan Bill train.
The San Francisco store is only second in the United States and it was opened just two weeks ago. The second is in the Nintendo Store New York City. Celebrity mediaman Greg Miller was there.
It was nice to go to the console launch, though the first wait for a long wait and a relatively small number of people waiting. By the end of the evening, though, the crowd shown, some were dressed as their favorite Nintendo characters. I went out the door with about $ 750, including my switch 2 and its flagship game, Mario Cart World. I also had to play a two -round knockout round on the Mario Cart World Game on Switch 2. I met a creator there who remembered me as a cup head boy. Fortunately, I did not come to the last place in the Mario Cart World on my second endeavor.
For Nintendo’s fans, the jewelry store is a paradise, which has only some unique gear in the form of T -shirts and other gear for San Francisco. There are 12 pecan sculptures throughout the store, which includes accessories for favorite franchises for favorite franchises such as Mario, Princess Patch, Zelda, Pukkin, Pokémon, Spilletone, Donkey Kong, Kyrgyz, Kirby, Animal Crossing and more.
I suspect the switch 2 is going to do fine, even though most of the game franchises are in service. In fact, the Nintendo Culture is so large with things like Mario Cart and the Super Mario Bruce Movie (which of the box office $ 1.4 billion) that people want to engage with it in all walks of life.
Although these “midnight start” are rapidly rare, I encourage fans to try once in a while. They are not as close as they used to do before, as for some companies, digital sales for 95 % of the entire income for sports. To remind me with fellow game journalists how most of us were present to attend such programs.
It was worth hearing that the employees of the Nintendo Store clapped and the Dean first held the console in the glory of his head when he got out of the door.
