So we're here today to talk about what are Nintendo's options now for the switch to

pre-orders? A lot of stuff has happened. A lot of things are changing at a rapid pace.

They have canceled pre-orders in many regions now.

So we want to kind of go through the options that they have and find out maybe which one is the better of all the evils.

Yeah.

It's true.

Today was the day that the pre-orders were supposed to happen in the United States.

Just yesterday, they put the breaks on the pre-orders in Canada.

Yes.

Which is a curious thing because the Switch 2 systems and everything that Nintendo sells in Canada gets sourced through the United States.

So it's got to pass through here where we are and then go north of the border.

So it does make you wonder, like, why did this have to wait until the 11th hour to get canceled?

Weren't they aware of that plan as well?

But it's left us all in a state of limbo.

And yeah, what we're going to do here is put ourselves in Nintendo's shoes and try and think

through the different scenarios that they have in front of them.

I'm sure this is what they are literally doing right now to try and make a decision.

I'm taking a deep sip of coffee to get ready for this.

It's required for this conversation.

Yes.

Very, very complex conversation.

So yeah, it is a really unfortunate sort of colliding of things.
