The Nintendo Switch 2 has officially arrived, bringing with it long lines of eager gamers anxious to get their hands on the latest video game console when it was released overnight.
Posts on social media showed people lined up Wednesday into Thursday at the Best Buy location in Seattle’s Northgate neighborhood. A post on Reddit said more than 500 people circled the building, waiting to snag their pre-orders.
Other retailers including Walmart, Target and GameStop were also participating in the release for the device, which is selling for $449.99 with a library of launch titles that includes new entries in the Mario Kart, Metroid Prime, Kirby, and Hyrule Warriors franchises.
Reports showed lines in cities across the country and in Japan, where consoles were sold through a competitive lottery system that Nintendo said got about 2.2 million applications, according to The Associated Press.
