Nintendos priority picks for Switch 2 buyers in the U.S. will be sent out on and after May 8.
At least Nintendo is being up front about stock plans, though it may not aid folks overseas.
That quote comes courtesy of Charlotte Massicault, the head of gaming at French retailer Fnac.
Massicault toldFrandroid(read via machine translation) that the first weekend of preorders reached historic levels.
TheFrench retailerseemed relatively confident Nintendo would avoid a shortage in the country.
Industry analysts have near-universally claimed the Switch 2 will be a big launch.
Still, thats a small number compared to how many handhelds Nintendo could sell in June alone.
He further claimed Nintendo was working to meet as large a demand as possible for the Switch 2.
U.S.-based preordersgo live at midnight, 12 a.m.
ET for Walmart, Best Buy, and Target.
GameStop, with its too-good-to-be-true trade-in policy, will start selling Nintendos handheld at 11 a.m. News from the future, delivered to your present.
Those who want a console at launch June 5 should get in line as soon as possible.
