Clocks posted:So I'm literally buying a switch so I can play AC, but I had no money when the special edition one came out and now it's not available anywhere for preorder, so I'm just praying they'll have more available on the 13th. In the meantime now I'm stressed I can't get a pretty pastel switch. The nice thing is when you preorder from Amazon (and a lot of other places?), they don't charge you until the thing ships, so you're gucchi and don't have to worry about paying right away.

The one near me (which is somewhat rural) has gotten at least 3 of the limited edition 3DSes that have released, but camping out has been a necessity, since one of the employees is a Nintendo nerd.

Amazon hasn't even had it available for pre-order as far as I can tell since that would've been my first choice and why I didn't bother putting one in at best buy or whatever when I had the chance. Hell I even have an email alert on it. I'm hoping they secretly have a bunch in stock but are waiting until the 13th to sell it.

Preorders have already been live for all major retailers, but have sold out. Amazon has been trickling in units since then. You can set up text and/or email alerts at NowInStock if you'd like, but you'd need to be really quick.

If you follow the twitter account @ACPocketNews, they will always tweet out when there are pre-orders available. also there is this: https://twitter.com/ACPocketNews/status/1234004113454706688?s=20 Target has been putting some AC Switches in stock at night. And Amazon had them in stock on Feb 4th, as that's when I got mine. Best of luck!

Thanks for the tips everyone. It's been forever since I've owned a console or looked into a limited release so I think I severely overestimated how available this switch version would be.

drat. I wonder what the reasoning is. Even bumping it to ten characters just seems absurdly low for anything made in the past couple decades.

Electric Phantasm posted:What's going on in the selection box? It looks like some styling choice like "Isla Buttfart", "Buttfart Island", or "Buttfartland". Edit: The Nintenland in this image looks like it might have come from naming the town Ninten, and picking "-land". The Japanese in the options window all start with Ninten, though all of those ending options are different ways of pronouncing the Japanese "Island" character. Baby T.

I wonder if they'll let people know about that selection ahead time or if they'll give you an opportunity to change the name so people can account for it.

I would be shocked if the final step in island naming isn’t “So, it will be called Bloodkill island, correct? Yes, confirm >No, start over” or something equivalent.
