Switch 2 Pre-Orders Open | Walmart Deals with Eager Buyers

Pre-orders for the highly anticipated Switch 2 are now live at Walmart, sparking excitement among gamers. As shoppers race to secure their consoles, stock issues have led to disappointment for some, with reports of cancellations complicating the buying experience.

Success Stories Keep Rolling In

Amid the hectic rush, more people are sharing their successful orders. One buyer noted, "Can confirm! I checked around 3AM Eastern and I got the Mario Kart bundled version. No cancellation email yet." Another said, "I searched for it yesterday morning and got my pre-order. I thought I was lucky, but I checked a few more times throughout the day and it was available every time." This suggests staying connected with various forums can increase chances of successfully securing a console.

Frustration Over Cancellations

However, not all experiences have been smooth. Many continue to face issues, with one customer stating, "Yeah for me it’s immediately. Like I hit confirm order, and by the time I’ve swiped out of Safari, I’ve got a text saying it’s cancelled." This route to cancelation could point to Walmart managing stock cancellations due to bot orders and duplicates, as echoed by another: "Sorry, I checked my email for 5 minutes for cancellation email before posting. Still haven't got one. I guess they are restocking as they cancel bot and duplicate orders."

Several have expressed fears about delayed shipments, adding to the overall mix of sentiments in the gaming community.

Sentiment Ranges from Hopeful to Annoyed

As excitement builds for the April 26 launch, shoppers are in a constant state of vigilance. The struggle to grab a console has triggered a lot of refreshing of apps and websites, with one user noting, "With how long it’s been available, I’m almost certain they’re either going to cancel most of the orders down the line or delay anything they can’t fulfill indefinitely."
