Rumor: Nintendo Switch Pre-Orders Will Open On Friday The 13th

It looks like you might be able to pre-order Nintendo Switch the day after next week’s presentation regarding the upcoming system. GameStop will apparently begin accepting pre-orders on Friday, January 13. Although this is just a rumor for now, you could argue that it isn’t too far-fetched – as the pricing and launch details will be revealed prior to this date. The Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 is set to take place next Thursday, January 12, and you’ll be able to watch it live at 8 p.m. PT via Nintendo’s website.

    1. To all: Your god has arrived! Any who comment further shall accept their position as garbage! Bow to this omnipotent in presence!

  1. Friday the 13th
    Jason was in Friday the 13th
    Jason was in Mortal Kombat X
    Mortal Kombat X is a video game
    Mass Effect Andromeda and Persona 5 are video games
    Persona 5 and Mass Effect Andromeda confirmed for Switch

    1. The Developers for that game stated yesterday that they won’t be launching that game for the Switch unless there is a high demand for it. That was one of the.games I wanted to try out. Not all people have a next gen console. I can’t be alone on this… But they followed what Bethesda did a few months ago. Nintendo has always had great 3rd party games for their handhelds. I think the Switch will be popular. What will these devoplers use as an excuse than?

    1. I dont think any store should ask for a pickup fee. That seems ridiculous.

      They do however ask for a deposit. I belive gamestop asked me for $50 on both my 3ds and Vita, which they said, it was required so they could hold the console for me. But that money counts towards the purchase.

        1. Well thats the thing. If the console is $300, and you leave $50 as a deposit, then you only have to pay $250 (plus the tax on the whole $300) so depending were you live, you might pay $320 to $330 for the console.

          I dont see why you would ask for the money back if youre going to be using it to pay for the console.

          Now if your asking, if can you get the money back BEFORE the console releases. Then yes, you can, but you will also be losing that preorder.

      Why would Amazon be the worst case scenario? :o

          Ah. Well good luck then. Preordering at a store seems to be just as terrible as trying to buy a Nintendo product on the day of release. I still remember the time many were turned back at a Gamestop store because they ran out of room for preorders.

                But for how long? I give him a week before he does it again. Then again, maybe that’s too generous a time frame. Like how I gave that restock of NES Minis at Best Buy an hour & it sold out no more than 5 minutes after I made my prediction.

                I spoke too soon. He told someone to shut up before I even made the above comment. xD

                    He says he’ll stop because he can help himself… but I doubt it. I’m going to treat him like the Switch: I’ll believe he’s changed when he changes.

                        He told the guy to shut up again. xD Yeah. Ignoring him would definitely be for the best for everyone.

            xD One of my favorite scenes of the movie, too!

    1. the price point would probably be $200 or under judging all the console nintendo has released except the wii u but they knew that was a mistake so great to hear preorder hopefully if they sell out they can restock in february or the week or two after the event .

      1. 200?
        Most recent Nintendo consoles, including the Wii, did all cost Mord than that… Not sure anymore about old ones like the n64.

        Since I’d like to see Switch with at least half decent tech, I really hope it is Mord expensive than that…

    2. All I need to know is when those deals of getting more money for trading in a console towards a new one start. Got a free Wii U my sister won in New York just waiting to go.

            1. The deal? When new consoles come out I’ve always seen deals for trading in your old one for it. My sister won the Wii U at the Nintendo store during an event.

    3. I wish I could preorder with no money down. I’m SO low on money at the moment. But I’m afraid that if I don’t preorder, it’ll be another Wii/NES Mini situation. When the Wii released, I didn’t preorder. And I had to wait an extra week before Best Buy got more in stock. And even then, I would have missed out if I wasn’t one of the first in line that day.

      Back when the Nintendo 64 came out, I got it a week before it’s official release date (without preordering). For some reason, the former Kaybee Toys got them early, and sold one to me. What a wonderful moment that was. I was the first person to buy one. They were still unpacking them when I arrived.

      1. Another derelict with past conflicts with one of true omnipotence!
        You have accepted a level below garbage by posting! All the while announcing that you volunteer to accept this position af a lackey. The show of deference will not go unnoticed, garbage promotion is in your near future. Bow to your GOD!

            1. He use to troll here a while back. About the same shit, god this, god that, kneel to me, i am superior, and this and that nonsense. Until people stopped responding to him and he faded into obscurity lol it was funny though because some of the arguments he he would get into were so weird, he would pretty much ignore the arguments and keep talking about the same thing. Hes from around the Aeulos and Jellybean days. Im sure im not the only one that remembers this goofball.

                I remember the narcissistic god complex talking stapler, too!

                  1. Ridley 4 Smash Switch X3 (Dragon Ball Super & the Buu Saga of Dragon Ball Z Kai both air 1/7/17 on ! Yay!)

                    He’ll be gone again before long when no one talks to him. Now if we’d just ignore the Sasori clones like Church, they’d disappear, too.

                1. Be circumspect, tyro…a pawn of your stature is unable to reach God Stapler Status in one lifetime.
                  Feel enlightened that you have been replied to by royalty!

                  Bow, vermin.

      I’ll be preordering my Switch from Amazon… If I even get one. That way, I don’t have to hunt for one & they’ll eventually send me one when they finally have one available if they run out before they get to sending me one. And thanks to the free 2-day shipping, it’ll be just like buying it from a Gamestop… Minus the gas money needed to get to GameStop or Wal-Mart.
