Summary

  • Nintendo Switch 2 organisers have allegedly been cancelling orders without warning in the week before the product’s launch on 5 June.
  • Most of the cancellations appear to originate from Walmart, but payments made with the Affirm pay-later service also seem to be more vulnerable to cancellation.
  • Despite the situation, Best Buy, Target and Costco all intend to offer the product on the day of the launch.
  • Best Buy will hold a midnight event for those who pre-ordered and will also offer consoles to those who didn’t, depending on availability.
  • Target is also offering launch events in some stores.
  • Costco’s availability will depend on whether the units are available in-store or online only.
  • Those who have pre-ordered are advised to keep an eye on their orders and explore the above options if their order is cancelled.
