Nintendo Switch launch causes trouble for GAME's pre-order deliveries

Uh-oh

Nintendo Switch launch causes trouble for GAME's pre-order deliveries
|

Oh dear, it wouldn't be a release day without a hiccup and GAME's not having the best of weeks. Despite the gaming shop's pre-order calamity a couple of days ago, it looks like problems are still far from over.

Almost like deja-vu, people took to Twitter again earlier today in concern and outrage. According to a fair number of excited gamers, they received confirmation that GAME had packed and dispatched their Switches a couple of days or so ago, only to be emailed by the DPD saying that they'd not yet received the orders. Understandably this has left quite a few people pretty miffed.

In a more bizarre turn of events, some folks are receiving their Switch consoles without a hitch BUT without their pre-ordered games. As one of the most highly anticipated games for a number of years, this is rather baffling.

So, keep an eye on your orders, ladies and gents. If you're experiencing something like this, GAME or not, feel free to chat about it in the comments below.
