YouTube personality waits 61 consecutive days in line for acquiring Nintendo Switch 2
Strap on your Joy-Con controllers and prep your Chargin' Chucks, folks! The Nintendo Switch 2, here we come! In the pulsating heart of the Big Apple, lined up like a line of troops, eager gamers waited staunchly for the highly anticipated release of Nintendo's latest creation.
One such die-hard fan was Chris 'ChickenDog,' Evangelista, a vlogger from Connecticut, who claimed his 61-day line camp of the Nintendo store at Rockefeller Center was the ticket to snagging the first console. In his words, "It's not just about the console — it's about the community and I want to make an impact and build my own legacy." He wasn't alone in his endeavor; he had a temporary home in an AirBnb and hotels, and his friends graciously stood in line in his absence.
The inaugural fans were not just domestic; gamers from far and wide showed up, embracing the camaraderie of the global Nintendoverse. ChickenDog marveled at the diverse representation of gamers, stating, "Just seeing everyone out here, everyone coming around the world. Fans from Chile, Germany, Canada — how many new people that I didn't even know like Nintendo all over the world."
Hop on Board, Gamers: The Nintendo Switch 2's Launch!
While pre-orders for major retailers opened on April 24th, they initially faced some turbulence due to logistical roadblocks attributed to Nintendo's evaluation of tariffs by the previous administration. The price tag for the base console, including the latest "Mario Kart World" bundle, came in at a hefty $499, making it the most expensive console yet. Nintendo also announced that accessories' pricing would be susceptible to "changes in market conditions." A far cry from the launch price of the original Switch in 2017, at $299.
Despite the increased cost and initial hiccups, the gaming community's response has been nothing short of electrifying. As ChickenDog himself characterized, "It's the most exciting part is that last day... Just being out here with all my friends, the OGs in the community, the new people that were inspired by, the veterans out here right now."
