The excitement for the Nintendo Switch 2 is palpable, with enthusiasts already taking extreme measures to secure their spot. In San Francisco, the new Nintendo Store, set to open on May 15, has attracted its first camper even before its doors swing open. YouTuber Super Cafe documented his journey in a video released on April 8, detailing his flight over 800 miles to camp out for both the store opening and the anticipated release of the Nintendo Switch 2.
Despite having only lived in his new apartment for two months, Super Cafe humorously admitted that his decision to camp out might not be the wisest financially. "Terrible financial decision on my end. Whatever, who cares," he quipped. His dedication mirrors that of another YouTube content creator camping outside the New York Nintendo Store, hoping to be the first in line for the Switch 2 there.
Super Cafe plans to camp out for the next two months, aiming to be the first on the west coast to get the new console. He's primarily going solo but has encouraged others interested in joining him in San Francisco to reach out. As for the logistics of his extended stay, such as accommodations, food, and showers, he promised to address these in a future Q&A.
The tradition of camping out for major Nintendo releases, particularly new consoles, is a long-standing one. With campers now stationed at both coastal Nintendo stores, it remains to be seen whether this will spark a trend of others following suit. These dedicated fans certainly show no signs of wavering in their commitment.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled to launch on June 5, 2025. For those not inclined to camp out, our guides on Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders provide valuable information, although ongoing tariffs are complicating matters for potential buyers in the United States.
