The Exigent Duality
Switch 2 Pre-Orders In - 12:43 CST, 4/24/25 (Sniper)
My daughter and I had our little "Switch 2 Pre-Order Party" last night, were up past midnight but managed to land two of the bundles-- one via Walmart, and another via Best Buy! Not only that, but I managed to land a third bundle this morning for a friend of mine, again via Walmart-- she is going to pay me back.

Beyond that I ordered:

  • Street Fighter 6; excited to play through the totally zany open-world mode again, plus this edition has all of the new characters, stages, and colors, not to mention it's a handheld version of my favorite fighter of the last twenty-plus years.

  • The new Pro Controller.

  • Two of the official carrying cases, one for each of myself and my daughter.

  • A 256 GB microSD Express card; 256 GB of internal storage is going to fill up fast with how big modern games are-- so doubling that seems like a no-brainer to me.

  • I even bought the camera. I figure my daughter will have a lot of fun with it once her friends get Switch 2's, and even I'll use it. It's kind of nice to have in the house.

I'd like to order Cyberpunk 2077 as well, sort of debating it. That's a game which would be fun to enjoy again, but on a handheld. I might wait for full reviews once it comes out, to see how performance is. If it can maintain 40 fps, it actually might be really pleasant on the Switch 2's 120 Hz VRR display. But if it always dips into the twenties or something, I think I'd just get frustrated with it.
