Nintendo switch 2 launch is on us, filled with sound and anger, reflects a million Joy-Cons clicks-clad, and I am enjoying it.
There are not many tech gadgets that generate such discussions, although I think nintendo can be dependent on making it. I still remember Wii frenzy, and the original nintendo switch “Must-Hive Department” had either no slut. This is why, a few hours before the official launch, I attended the Nintendo Store at the Rockfeller Center to take the temperature of the local people. Did they lining for switch 2, even though Nintendo already installed a lottery system, stating that you can buy only one of the $ 449 console if your name was chosen?
They were… like.
Behind the line was a pair of live-stream women dressed like the characters of Super Mario Brothers. They told me that they usually stream themselves while playing games. I asked if he and all the others were prepared for access to the console. The pair, who never stopped the stream, laughed and explained that dozens of gamers on the 48th Street were queuing to give a chance to play Super Mario Cart World on all nintendo switch 2 to shoulder to shoulder.
Under a broad white tent, more than a dozen gamers placed controllers with cables that were snatched to the hidden switch 2 console. The fact is that no one could see new hardware that not for enthusiastic gamers, who were trying to navigate the Mario’s chaotic world on all vibrant 42 -inch display.
Next to the tent, Princess Pitch and Yoshi stood for photos, and dye-hard Mario fans squeezed to a hug between them.
Unlike the outside boiled place, it was completely calm inside the Nintendo Store, where a DJ played the tunes and a pair of Nintendo Switch 2 display case sat empty. I think they were waiting till midnight to slip a pair of console inside.
The nintendo staff looked pleasant if on the edge. I think they knew that the tanner could change at midnight, as desperate customers had a line, whether they had a special taunt or not.
My guess is that some people will be the audience, expecting a glimpse of the owner of the first nintendo switch 2 (perhaps they all just want to highlight them). Others may survive the Mario Games, still, trying to win the race.
There was a purity for the whole scene. Did not feel enthusiasm; There were no hyp-master, trying to increase the crowd in the big day’s expectancy.
Nintendo may have increased the price of more than $ 150 powerful new console and is charging more for sports, but I think consumers do not care. They will line up for this console and will possibly sing its praise regardless of any deficiencies.
This reminds me a little of the original iPhone days. There was a lot of enthusiasm, and there was no apple staff to clap and chant. Steve Jobs also did not appear at the shops – they did not have to do it. The publicity was real.
While not that much intense, this nintendo switch 2 moment looks like a launch from another time, and I don’t know why, but it makes me happy.
