hey everyone! I was able to snag an animal crossing switch tonight in a bundle from Gamestop online. A lot of retailers are releasing bundles and consoles again (for the 13th)! Please check online before heading out to the stores tomorrow! I had plans to go to Target at 7:30 am to have a chance to get one...luckily my sister saw on reddit about the Gamestop bundle!

Also let me know if you guys got a new horizons switch =)

and P.S. im 100% sure my order wont get cancelled because I got an email with my download code :D yayyy
 
Hey, congrats! I was able to grab the special Switch bundle from Gamestop too! It sold out so fast and I was scared it was gonna get cancelled on me, but they sent me my download code for the game and it says my Switch is preparing for shipment so I'm pretty sure I'm safe~

I was planning on checking 3 different online stores obsessively all night and going out tomorrow morning to check in stores, so I'm very grateful that I was able to get it quickly and easily.

Best of luck to anybody else trying to get one!

My pre-order is available to pick up from Gamestop starting 10AM tomorrow. I have that pesky thing called work that I'll need to get out of the way first, but I'll be heading out to pick my Switch up as soon as 5PM hits. :p I personally didn't want to wait around and see if any bundles were happening, as I really did not want to miss out on getting this Switch. When you get to my age, Target gift cards and Amazon gift cards are what you get instead of Gamestop gift cards, so I figured I'd be getting the game from one of those two anyway haha. I hope everyone who wanted the Switch gets one!
 
I’m so jealous you lot are able to get yours a week earlier than us! Seeing all the photos is killing me lmao
 
yikes, have there been a lot of cancellations so far?

Apparently there was an issue with Walmart and some other site where a lot of people were having their Switch orders cancelled, (most likely due to a lack of stock) so we've been kinda paranoid. I don't believe there have been any cancellations from Gamestop so far though.

i'd rather late than not at all.

Its sooo unfair, I'm just happy to be getting the physical game 10pm on the 19th, hopefully I'll be able to play it straight away D;
 
I've seen several retailers in my country already got their stocks ready today or even earlier, which is getting unbearable for me to wait for my Switch + Game bundle on March 20th
 
Got to Target at 7:30. Waited in the car until 7:55 when people started lining up for toilet paper. When those doors open me and another guy dashed to electronics and got out ACNH Switches! He was getting his as a surprise for his fiancé which I thought was so sweet! I need a guy like that.
 
I got my "Ready to be picked up" emails from Best Buy last night. Work is 100% guaranteed to drag.

That's literally me right now, lol. They open in 10 min and I'm standing outside the door.

I actually have one pre-ordered online, but it's not expected to get here until next Thursday. I figured I'd grab one now and just return the other one when it comes. I want time to pre download the game and do my system transfer before Thursday.
 
Just got my switch this morning! Was waiting outside at 6am with a couple other people at Walmart, meanwhile my fiancé strolls in to Fred Meyer and picks one up no problem. He calls me and is like “you can come home now I already got one.” Lmao I felt bad for the other people in line, one of them had been there since midnight :eek: I was like oh I got one already LATER NERDS!!
 
Yay, I got one! They had 5 Switches and 5 people waiting in line. They were gone by 8:05.
 
I got lucky & picked up a walk-in one! My Walmart had only sold 2 so far which was surprising considering there were lines at other stores.
 
i can't wait to see all the cute photos online people are going to take of their special edition switches. i love the beach aesthetic so much.
 
picked mine up earlier today, about to set it up!

You guys are so lucky. I preorded on Best Buy and it still says it's going to arrive on the 20th.
