For those seeking the best preorder bonus for the upcoming release of Paper Mario: The Origami King, GameStop may be your best option! The gaming retailer is offering a pin set featuring Paper Mario and Origami Peach for all purchases of the title, both in-store, and online! You can secure your own copy here before the anticipated game's launch on July 17th!

Why is something that's so minor always so exciting?! GameStop has added 12 more blank SKUs to their system, implying that some unrevealed games will likely be available for pre-order in the near future. Updates like this usually happen when a Direct presentation is imminent, and it's certainly not unusual for Nintendo to host one in January. Hopefully something is announced within the next couple of weeks.

Can't make it to a Switch hands-on event? You might want to keep an eye on your local GameStop. There are multiple reports coming in stating that GameStop locations should get demo units somewhere between one-to-two weeks prior to the Switch launch. In other words, some locations could have their units just two weeks from now!

We have had this information confirmed by our GameStop source, which is why we are sharing this as confirmed instead of rumor.

We know the Switch presentation comes on the night of Jan. 12th, but when do official preorders open? In the case of GameStop, it seems Jan. 13th might be the date.

Rumor has it that GameStop locations have received word that preorders open up on the 13th, and each store will have a limited amount to sell. No information on bundles or amounts just yet, but that info should hit GameStop sometime on the 12th.

Looks like GameStop is gearing up for the NX. This purchase intent survey mentions the NX, but also covers its bases by just saying 'new console for Nintendo' as well. You know, just incase Nintendo drops NX for a different name. The real interesting part is the survey asking if you plan to buy the NX within the next 12 months. Is GameStop just basing that timeframe off of current rumors, or are they getting details from somewhere else? Thanks to Anon for the heads up!

We heard some rumblings of cancellations, but now this leaked internal document proves that it's happening. Hopefully you managed to snag your preorder before this date, otherwise you have every reason to be a not-so-happy camper right now.

The Toad and Bowser versions are due out Sept. 11th, while the Yoshi version is due out Oct. 16th. You can check out all three here.
