It's sensory overload for sure lol
im equal parts looking forward to preordering as well as turning off Wario notifications
I remember it was a shitshow and I was having to check wario64 notifications for weeks. and then Walmart put them up in the middle of the night, I got one, and then Walmart cancelled every order and then just put them up again 2 days later lol.
I happened to post on my Instagram when the announced the snes and when I got a preorder. Looks like it took just about 2 months.
It works like the other systems.
You set a Primary and Secondary console. The Primary console can play all the digital games from any user account, both offline and online.
The Secondary console can only play the games with the user account that purchased the game and with an online check to launch the game.
If you want to share games with another person, set the console you want to share as the Primary console so everyone can play on their own user account. Your personal console should be set as Secondary, because only your user profile can play the games.
With Cloud Saves, you can sync game saves automatically across all your devices.

Does cloud save of a running game automatically back up when the system is in sleep mode or do we have to close the game first?
Afaik you've got to close the game before the system attempts an upload.

Thank you! So right now I want to transform my OG Switch (where I have all my digital content) into dock only and get an OLED for handheld, so in this context I should make the OLED my primary and the OG as secondary?
No, that's a save data conflict waiting to happen. Cloud operations are paused for a game that's running.
That's likely the better setup, as your docked Switch should always be online to make the check-in, so being the secondary won't be an issue.
Something to keep in mind - not every game supports cloud saves like that. Splatoon and Pokemon have to be manually transferred back and forth. Animal Crossing has its own transfer tool. A full list is maintained here.

Thanks again, appreciate the response.
Now I'm relymg on Nintendo to release new Joy-Cons with no drift to justify my purchase.
Sorry for the late reply, but as others have mentioned, yes, that would be the best setup.
OG Switch as Secondary console because it would requiere an online check for every digital game, and OLED as your Primary console so you can play even without internet everywhere.
This really depends on your needs.
I want to allow my family to play the games I buy digitally on their profiles, so I'll keep the original console as Primary. I can almost always be online with a second console because I can tether to my phone in most instances in which WiFi is not available.
However, if you were in a situation where you were the only user, it would make more sense to set the portable console as Primary, to allow for offline play.
Yeah, of course.
If you want to share games, and you are the one buying all the games with your own user account, yes, the Primary console should be the one used by everyone and the secondary console should be your personal one.
Maybe they're planning to put it up at 8pm tonight so the servers don't get hammered!
Yeap.
Could you tell us your lunch break hour, please, so we can check?
Nintendo is testing my patience. They're going to make me buy an OG Switch out of pure frustration.
Let's start a lunch time chain so everyone covers everyone's lunch 😂
I turned notifications off for the time being for Wario64, and am using Matt Swider for now. He tracks PS5 and XSX restocks, but said he'll be notifying for Switch OLED as well. He posts very rarely, only when he has restock news.
I like how little they did to differentiate the packaging of the OLED model from the OG model.
The OLED model is literally now just in a vertical box, but looks pretty close to the old model. I guess the white one could still sell more, but still. I would have put "OLED" in big font on the screen.

I also remember him being faster than wario64 when i was looking for my xbox
It still hasn't gone up in Amazon Japan, right??? Is there any way to track that one??? I don't know for sure if Amazon US will ship to México, so that could be another option for me.
I noticed that too, but I didn't know if it was anything noteworthy. Could it really be related to rhe Switch OLED???
If the banner carrousel is anything to go by, we should probably not expect anything from Gamestop this week. The carrousel updated for this week and the only Switch hardware mentioned is the Lite for some case and controller promotion. So not even the banner like Target had some days ago. Hence, unless they swap one (MHS2 Available Now one?) for a SWO one, it doesn't seem likely this week.
What are the payment-options at Otto.de? Do they charge you right on order like MediaMarkt?
At Otto I am always paying with "With Invoice" or "Mit Rechnung".
So they send you the package, and you have two weeks to pay it. If they do not ship, you do not "care".
In the past 50% of the Pre-Orders got canceled. Because of that I want to be on the safe side to Pre-Order at Amazon.de as well.

I haven't seen a listing for it since now. Weird. I just typed it in and it appeared.
It's been there but not viewable from a search for awhile. I've been periodically refreshing it the past view days and haven't caught it with anything other than "Currently unavailable" on it.
It's now on search as I typed Switch OLED and it was the first result. Presumably going live in a bit?
Screw it, preordered. Can either give the old one to my daughter or sell it as a moddable one.
