Nintendo Switch 2 release encounters obstacles: My Nintendo store lottery winner may not be able to get the game console on the first day

Lucky players who have won the Nintendo Switch 2 lottery draw through Nintendo’s self-operated My Nintendo store may face frustrating news: their orders may not be delivered on the console’s release date on June 5.

According to the update information of Nintendo's Switch 2 guide page (reported by Nintendo Life ) shows: "Due to the huge demand, we will strive to complete the order as soon as the product arrives, but there is no guarantee of delivery on June 5." This applies to players who have registered to participate in the My Nintendo store lottery, and the lottery results will be announced on May 8.

However, not all winners will receive a confirmation email on May 8. "Your invitation email (who purchased the Switch 2 from Nintendo) may arrive after the release of the Nintendo Switch 2. We will confirm your shipping date after you purchase it."

Switch 2 has strong demand and limited supply

This update may disappoint players who missed retail pre-orders (and therefore hoped for the My Nintendo store draw), but it was not surprising. Recently, a similar situation happened in Japan, with Nintendo promising a second draw. As the website says Nintendo "will work hard to complete the order after the product arrives," the United States may also conduct subsequent My Nintendo store draws .

For interested players, the last point is important: “If you wish to continue waiting for invitations from the My Nintendo store, sign up to express interest without any further action.” While this is not a direct confirmation, it undoubtedly means that Nintendo will continue to keep a certain number of Switch 2 consoles for the My Nintendo store and contact eligible buyers after more stock arrives, even after the Switch 2 release date.

It is recommended to pay attention to retailers

The My Nintendo store’s continued inventory is fortunately passive – Nintendo will email you when you’re selected – but those eager to get Switch 2 as soon as possible need to follow retailers like Best Buy, Target and Walmart. The first Switch 2 consoles may be sold out soon after pre-orders are open, but production of the Switch 2 is likely to continue after the console release date , so it may be restocked soon.

It takes a lot of luck, but you may be able to get Switch 2 through a retailer more easily than through the My Nintendo store draw, especially if you are not the primary account of the Nintendo Switch Online family plan, as that type of account is preferred in the draw. Of course, there are also many problems shopping through retailers, namely scalpers, robots and website errors, but unfortunately, that's the reality of buying a hot new product like the Nintendo Switch 2 .
