If anyone wants to hunt down links and times for other stores in regions that were also affected by delayed preorders (like Canada), please comment them below and I’ll update the post.
I’m more stoked for the launch day games to be pirated and fully functioning on the current emulators because it’s not actually different hardware/architecture compared the the switch.
Someone should notify Nintendo. They went through all the trouble of emulating Switch software on the Switch 2 hardware. Had they known it was the same architecture they could have saved themselves the trouble.
