Nintendo expects Switch to be available “at some retailers” in the UK at launch for walk-in customers

MCV just published an interview with Nicolas Wegnez, who is the general manager of Nintendo UK. Overall there’s not too much of interest in the interview, but Wegnez does touch on the pre-order and launch day availability situation of the Switch in the UK:

“It’s true pre-orders are very strong but we still expect Nintendo Switch to be available at some retailers on Day One. We do expect shipments to steadily come.”

Here’s what Wegnez had to say about promoting the Switch:

“We have seen that having hands on with Nintendo Switch really does help people to understand its appeal. This is even more true when you can experience how to switch between gameplay modes, use the Joy-Con in different ways or, yes, feel that surprising ‘HD Rumble’ feature.

For all the above, we are working on sampling plans to try and get Nintendo Switch into as many people’s hands as possible. However, living in this digital era we recognise the significance of online tools, therefore we have a comprehensive range of online assets for all our e-commerce partners to embrace.”
