How badly do you want the Nintendo Switch 2? Some people were lining up outside stores at midnight to get a chance to buy the coveted gaming consoles, which sold out in April pre-sales within hours.
Video and photos captured crowds gathered outside stores on Wednesday night, with lines wrapping around retailers as gamers camped outside for hours to get a chance to purchase the Switch 2, Nintendo's latest console, during the midnight release.

The long-awaited gaming console is so popular that pre-orders sold out within two hours at Target, according to a statement from the retailer.
The Switch 2 resembles the original Switch, which was released in 2017, but it's larger, features a different color scheme and includes numerous upgrades.
The console is available in stores only on Thursday, while supplies last.
