I hope they fix their AAA pre-order system within our lifetimeNintendo is still proceeding as planned with its updated storefront, which includes an incorporation of the My Nintendo program amid their pre-order system, and other merch. While communication on all of this is generally spotty; the UK and Ireland side has, at the very least, opened up a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/NintendoStoreUK) to give folks some general updates.
It went live just hours ago (https://twitter.com/NintendoStoreUK/status/1621493708330881024), and asks users to "follow the channel to stay up to date about all things My Nintendo Store." The first order of business is setting things straight with Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon SteelBook situation, which is now a pre-order bonus for the March 17 release (in that region). All current pre-orders will be upgraded automatically.
For context, pre-order bonuses for Nintendo games are often messy, resulting in lengthy queues, system issues, or very brief sale periods. Things really came to a head with the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 situation (https://www.destructoid.com/xenoblade-chronicles-3-special-edition-issues-new-pre-order-date/), where that mess spilled over to multiple regions. Hopefully this Twitter account can at least ease some of the communication problems Nintendo has been having with high-ticket pre-orders.
If you're in the UK or Ireland and actually care about this stuff, consider giving it a follow!
