The Nintendo Switch 2 is generating enormous preorder interest in Japan, where the initial batch has sold out.

Preorders finally started, but there have been issues. Nintendo’s delayed Switch 2 preorders finally kicked off in the US at 12AM ET, but there have already been a lot of problems.

According to Furukawa, the response was massive–around 2.2 million people in Japan alone applied. "However, this number far exceeds our expectations, and far exceeds the number of Nintendo Switch 2 consoles that can be delivered from the My Nintendo Store on June 5th."
