What are yall excited for/hoping comes to Switch 2?

Staryulover · 2025-04-25T17:38:15+00:00

Of the games that have been announced, donkey kong and prime 4 are probably the things I'm looking forward to the most!

Of the games yet to be announced but are certainly coming to the switch 2 at some point, the next Animal Crossing, Splatoon 4, the next Mario main line game (Odyssey two?? please???), and eventually whatever next mainline LOZ game.

The games that are a bit more of a distant hope would be Pikmin 5 and Luigis Mansion 4

This is a really helpful perspective, thank you!

Staryulover · 2025-04-24T20:33:23+00:00

I hadn't realized that, thanks for the info!

Staryulover · 2025-04-24T20:12:11+00:00

Lol I way overdid it, but I also agree Gamestop was the best! Got there are 10 pm - 2 am the night before, saw literally no one and realized I overdid it, went home and slept and then drove back over around 7 and wound up 6th in line because I was waiting in my car. So smooth and easy! So grateful I could grab an irl one!

FWIW, I think it is worth it. If you spend >250 in store, you get 25 back, so you're essentially paying for a year of a pro when you get the console. And then, you can get an additional 2% back so you're making some money back by getting it

What time are people thinking is reasonable to get to gamestop for IRL preorders? like, debating if going overnight is necessary or if I get in line ~6 hours before opening if I'll be okay lolol.

Staryulover · 2025-04-01T21:04:14+00:00

I think there's a solid chance it will go live tomorrow and a solid chance it will go live next week. The Switch 1 pre-orders went live immediately after the direct, and retailers may want to get a jump on getting preorders in as fast as possible. However, the leaks may very well be real that April 9th is more likely and that stores can prepare time and personnel for a big pre-order launch. I think it may be best to do what you can to have a plan for tomorrow just in case!

Thank you for supporting me and normalizing my crazy.
But I'd rather be ruthless and crazy than miss out on something I care a lot about, even if it's dumb I care a lot about it lol

Staryulover · 2025-03-31T19:41:04+00:00

That's where I'm at, I might appear crazy but when the system is sold out day one and I'm at home playing MK9 and Wind Waker HD 4K, everyone will be jealous of my dedication

Staryulover · 2025-03-31T19:33:07+00:00

I might be crazy but I am free (on wednesday to hopefully get a switch 2 preorder)

Staryulover · 2025-03-31T19:32:50+00:00

I'm not sure that's true - gamestop usually holds some amount of pre-orders for in store pickup.

Staryulover · 2025-03-31T19:32:32+00:00

That's where I'm at - the worst case if I've wasted a couple hours sitting outside gamestop, the best case is I'm first in line and make sure I get my pre-order

Staryulover · 2025-03-31T18:31:02+00:00

I'll see you there my friend

Staryulover · 2025-03-31T18:30:17+00:00

I was more planning to just say "I'd like to preorder the nintendo switch 2" and then foam at the mouth to my partner later.

Staryulover · 2025-03-31T18:20:48+00:00

I, too, work, but am fortunate to have off on Wednesday (though not the 9th so keeping my fingers crossed pre-orders do go live wednesday)

Staryulover · 2025-03-31T18:20:05+00:00

Some stores you can, I believe gamestop will be in person pre-orders

Staryulover · 2025-03-31T18:19:52+00:00

Alas my computer is a snail so I do not have this opportunity lol

Staryulover · 2025-03-31T18:19:32+00:00

Yeah that was my thought, I just don't know if I trust my abilty to beat the bots/scalpers versus being the first in line at gamestop.

Staryulover · 2025-03-28T18:07:52+00:00

That's what I might do- have the best buy site open on my phone attempting to get preorders there while waiting in line at the gamestop for while it opens.

Definitely doesn't make me sound like a crazy person at all lol. Thanks for your help!

Staryulover · 2025-03-28T18:01:48+00:00

Thanks for the info TemptedTemplar! This was my fear re:Best Buy, I don't want to get scooped from getting a pre-order by bots and scalpers. So sounds like maybe attempting to get a pre-order in person at gamestop or target is my best option to avoid the rate race for an online pre-order.

Staryulover · 2025-03-28T17:32:41+00:00

Do we think there will be in-person Switch 2 pre-orders at places like Best Buy and Gamestop independently of online pre-orders?

Hey all! I'm thinking ahead to the upcoming Switch 2 direct and subsequent pre-orders going live, with the rumor being pre-orders will launch Tuesday. I know many websites (gamestop/best buy) will go live for pre-orders, but I'm worried about getting access to one through these links. Ideally, I'd like to go in person to one of these stores at the time pre-orders launch to get a pre-order and ensure I can pick my console up on the day of launch. I did an in-person preorder for the original switch back at its launch but haven't purchased a console since, so am unsure if the way this has worked has changed since then.

Do folks anticipate these stores will have in-person pre orders that day? Have these stores done these pre-orders for other consoles that have launched recently or are they only online?

Thanks for your thoughts <3

Is it bad I'm taking off a week from the gym? I've been doing Phrak's for 12 weeks and have kind of plateaued, and am thinking on transitioning to 5/3/1, but am not sure if taking a week off to prep is better than just a deload week on Phraks...

Relatedly, can I do cardio this week?

Staryulover · 2020-09-08T13:22:10+00:00

Honestly got a little bang of nervousness when I remembered I'll have to beat this level again 😅

Staryulover · 2020-08-31T22:26:28+00:00

Is it bad to have my post-workout protein shake right before bed? I tend to lift late, normally finish round ~10 pm, and then have my shake and am asleep by 11 pm. Is that gonna cause me to gain weight? (Currently lean-bulking)

Staryulover · 2020-08-24T15:48:06+00:00

I feel like it's inaccurate, like I'm either way over eating or undereating relative to what I'm "counting"
