Camper Waits at San Francisco Nintendo Store for Switch 2 Before Opening

The Nintendo Store in San Francisco is set to open its doors on May 15, but the excitement is already palpable, with at least one dedicated fan, YouTuber Super Cafe, camping out in anticipation of the Nintendo Switch 2 release. Super Cafe documented his journey to San Francisco in a video released on April 8, where he shared his plans to camp out for both the store's opening and the launch of the highly anticipated console.

Having flown over 800 miles, Super Cafe is prepared to wait it out for the next two months, aiming to be the first in line on the West Coast. Despite acknowledging that moving into his apartment just two months ago was a "terrible financial decision," he remains enthusiastic about his endeavor, saying, "Whatever, who cares."

Super Cafe's dedication mirrors that of another YouTube content creator who is currently camping out at the New York Nintendo store for the same reason. Unlike his counterpart in New York, Super Cafe plans to camp solo but has invited others interested in joining him at the San Francisco store to get in touch.

As for the practicalities of his extended stay, such as accommodations, food, and showers, Super Cafe has promised to address these in a future Q&A. His commitment highlights the enduring tradition of camping out for major Nintendo releases, a practice that dates back many years.

With both coastal Nintendo stores now boasting their own dedicated campers, it remains to be seen if this will spark a trend of others joining the lines. The Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled to launch on June 5, 2025. For those not keen on camping, our guides on Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders provide a less strenuous alternative, though navigating the ongoing tariffs in the United States may present some challenges.
