Nintendo has announced official release dates for both the Nintendo Switch, its newest console, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Yes, we all yelled aloud in the office this morning when we saw the news. We did.
Now that we have confirmation that March 3 is going to be the best day ever, you can get your pre-order on.
As far as Breath of the Wild goes, there are several collector’s editions to choose from. The mack daddy of them is the Master Edition, which is $129.99 and features so much cool shit, we wanted to lick the screen when we saw it. Don’t judge.

Pre-orders for this edition are still available at Gamestop. Amazon has sold out already, and other retailers don’t have a listing at the time of this writing.
A second set, the Special Edition, retails for $99.99 and includes the items above except for the Master Sword sculpture and the black box. Gamestop has a pre-order listing for it as well. If you just want the regular game with no bells and whistles, Amazon does have that pre-order open right now for $59.99. You can nab it at Toys R Us, Best Buy, Gamestop, and Target too.
If you’re ordering the Nintendo Switch, which will retail for $299, is now available through Amazon, Gamestop, Target, and Best Buy. Best Buy is also offering midnight pick-up on March 3, and you can check if a local store is participating here. Gamestop is offering bundles for pre-order, which is sure to make March 3 like the Christmas of your childhood dreams.
Walmart is already sold out of the console pre-orders online, but you can reserve the console in-stores by putting 10 percent down to reserve the Switch (go to the Pickup desk to do so). Amazon currently has them in stock , but the inventory has been touch and go. If it’s sold out, you can sign up to be alerted through Amazon when restock arrives if you prefer to order it there.
In short, you might want to clear your calendar in March for the first week or two.
