The Nintendo Store in San Francisco is generating buzz even before its grand opening next month, with at least one dedicated fan already camping out for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.

YouTuber Super Cafe documented his journey in a video released on April 8, detailing his flight to San Francisco. His mission? To be the first in line on the West Coast for both the Nintendo Switch 2 release and the store's opening on May 15. Super Cafe traveled over 800 miles and plans to camp out for the next two months.

"I've only lived in my apartment for two months. I like, just moved out," Super Cafe shared. "Terrible financial decision on my end. Whatever, who cares."

Super Cafe's dedication mirrors that of another YouTube content creator who is currently camping out at the New York store, also vying to be first in line for the Switch 2. While Super Cafe is mostly going solo, he has invited others interested in camping out for the San Francisco opening to get in touch.

As for the logistics of his extended stay, including accommodations, food, and showers, Super Cafe plans to address these in a future Q&A.

The tradition of camping out for major Nintendo releases, particularly new consoles, is a long-standing one. Now, both coastal Nintendo stores have their own dedicated campers, and it remains to be seen whether this will spark a chain reaction of others joining the line. These creators are certainly committed.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5, 2025. For those not inclined to camp out, our guides on Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders provide valuable information, though the ongoing tariffs are complicating matters for potential buyers in the United States.
