We’re exactly one week away from the launch of Nintendo’s next console. As you might expect on a site called Nintendo Life, we’re quite excited for that new hardware smell.<\/p>\n

With global pre-order shenanigans going on since the 2nd April reveal, everyone’s had plenty of time to budget, make decisions, and plan out exactly how they want to spend Thursday 5th June.<\/p>\n

We’re going to be exceptionally busy around these parts, working around the clock to bring you the best coverage as quickly as possible – but we’re interested to hear what you’ve got planned for the Switch 2 launch. If we weren’t obliged to write up impressions, deliver verdicts, and cover the latest Nintendo developments on this here website, what would we have planned?<\/p>\n

\"Mario<\/a>Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n

Well, taking some holiday on the Thursday and Friday and exploring Mario Kart World<\/a> for four whole days sounds pre-ritty good! And with summer weather coming in the Northern Hemisphere, we’d probably head out for a walk to test Switch 2’s portability and really put the brightness settings of that bigger screen through its paces, too.<\/p>\n

That’s us though – what are your plans? What pick-ups are on your lists? Do you have 100% confidence in the postal service or are you concerned about delivery shenanigans<\/a>? (Hey, we’ve got experience there, unfortunately!<\/a>) Will you be camped outside to guard against unscrupulous drivers turning into your street before pulling a quick U-y and not actually ringing the bell? HAS ALL THE EXCITEMENT MADE US OVERLY PARANOID?<\/p>\n

Let us know below, and tell us in the comments how you’ll be spending your first hours with your new console.<\/p>\n
