Millions of gamers around the world are now excited for the upcoming release of the Nintendo Switch console. However, new reports are claiming that pre-ordering the imminent gaming system right now is a bad idea.

iDigitalTimes reported that buying Nintendo Switch to just simply get "The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild" game is definitely not acceptable. According to the news outlet, the much-anticipated game will only become exclusively available for the imminent console for the first few weeks only.

Few days after its official launching, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is expected to become playable on Wii U. Hence, the news outlet does not recommend gamers to spend $300 to buy Nintendo Switch and play the much-anticipated game.

Aside from that, iDigitalTimes has also stated that stated that pre-ordering Nintendo Switch to experience the "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" and "Splatoon 2" games first is just a waste of time and money. The website has claimed that several games are totally arriving few months after the console's official launch.

Meanwhile, Spoiler Scoop has previously reported that Nintendo Switch is actually one of the main reasons why stocks of the NES Classic Edition console remain scarce until now. The news outlet has first revealed that Nintendo is currently focusing more on the upcoming gaming console.

As a matter of fact, Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's president and chief operating officer, has confirmed that there will be enough supply of Nintendo Switch console when it hits the game stores. The gaming exec has stated that they expect the new gaming system to be as successful as its predecessors.

Reggie Fils-Aime added that, after Nintendo Switch, the gaming company will be focusing on producing more stocks of the NES Classic Edition console. "What happened with NES Classic is that was a situation where the global demand was well in excess of anything we had anticipated, and that's what created shortages," he confessed.

Nintendo Switch is expected to hit stores by storm on March 3, 2017. Stay tuned to Korea Portal for more Nintendo Switch news and updates!
