Someone is already in line for the Nintendo Switch, One month early

4.6
Whenever there is a highly anticipated product launch, there will always be those dedicated enough to queue in line and wait overnight. But, what about waiting a month in advance? We've seen it before with the iPhone, but it looks like someone is doing it for the Nintendo Switch.

Alexander Pekala better known as CaptainNintendoDude was first in line at the flagship Nintendo Store in New York. If you have never waited in line for a product launch or have wanted to see what it might be like, Pekala will be uploading daily vlogs detailing the day to day activities during his month-long wait. In order to better succeed, he even received some pointers from Triforce Johnson (first in line for multiple Nintendo consoles), who will be sitting out the launch of the Switch and effectively passing on the torch to Pekala.

Nintendo will release the Switch console on March 3 for $299.99. Pre-orders for the console went live earlier last month and sold out quickly. In order to compensate for the expected demand, Nintendo will launch with 2 million consoles in the first month.

Kixa The cover photo made me crack up a bit but anyway this guy is pretty insane for waiting in line for a month for a console, he really must be a big fan of nintendo.


All the clickbait and views this guy will get on Youtube will make him a lot of money. More money than he would probably get having an actual job.

The real challenge is actually knowing if he is sitting there for the whole month or not. I doubt it. Probably 2 days in and he'll quit. If he does it, though, congrats to him. He should get something from Nintendo for actually doing it. A special edition made specifically for him would be cool, I suppose. Maybe his youtube channel name engraved in a gold finish?


That would be pretty cool honestly but i hope its well worth it at the end.

So he's gonna miss a month of work for a game system that he could pre-order online, and it could be at his house on release day? But he's still just gonna sit outside?
