Eager fans have already started lining up for the Switch 2<\/a> in the US<\/a>, despite the console being two months away.<\/p>\n

The dominance of online shopping and digital downloads has made midnight launches for games sadly redundant in the modern world, but some YouTubers are keeping the in-store dream alive for the Switch 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The person leading this crusade is ChickenDog, who began waiting outside the Nintendo Store in New York<\/a> on April 5, to be the first in line to pick up a Switch 2, two months before it launches on June 5, 2025.<\/p>\n

He’s been documenting his wait outside the store ever since, with YouTube<\/a> videos showing him playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> in a car outside, and attending the Switch 2 Experience event<\/a> within the city.<\/p>\n

While he describes it as ‘camping out’, in a follow-up video<\/a> ChickenDog states he has access to a hotel and Airbnb, so he won’t be roughing it on the streets. Nevertheless, it’s a long time to be loitering around the Nintendo store in the name of content.<\/p>\n

He isn’t the only person dedicated to the cause in the US. Fellow YouTuber, Super Caf\u00e9, has lined-up outside the Nintendo Store in San Francisco, which hasn’t even opened yet. The new store is set to open on May 15, ahead of the Switch 2’s launch in June.<\/p>\n
