Nintendo has announced that it will be selling its new Switch 2 console, along with accessories and games, directly through two of its flagship stores in New York City and San Francisco. The stores will be open for a limited time starting on June 5th and will offer the latest products while supplies last.
To attend one of these exclusive shopping sessions, interested fans must first register for a Warp Pipe Pass reservation. This is a random drawing process where only selected individuals will gain access to purchase the Switch 2 consoles, bundles, accessories, and games at reduced prices.
The Warp Pipe Pass registration process is open starting today at 9:00 a.m. PT/12:00 p.m. ET through the links provided for both store locations in New York City and San Francisco. Winners will be notified for each of the five shopping sessions scheduled from June 5 to June 9, with limited attendee numbers (around 5000 individuals total) at each session.
Participating products include individual Switch 2 consoles or bundles featuring a Mario Kart World game, as well as various accessories and games. Note that product availability is limited, and attendees are only allowed to purchase one of each item per Warp Pipe Pass holder.
Those interested in attending the exclusive shopping events can register for their chance to participate at the provided links before they expire.
