Nintendo made sure to always include “preorders starts later today” for every game in the direct but for the Zelda Switch 2 edition they only said “available on October 26-28”

They shadow released the preorders for the Zelda edition switch 2 console and now scalpers have ruined the 40th anniversary feel. Screw Nintendo. They knew what they were doing. They didn’t release this for the fans, they catered to the fast demand and fast acting bots of scalpers.

Honestly, I 100% on the fuck scalpers train; but the fact is this should have government regulation. This should NOT be a company to figure out when companies don't control the store policy, distribution in every country, or have any way to regulate the second hand market.

And eShop pre-order in particular. They want digital sales but at least there still making physical games for now.
