Does anyone else think it's funny how much people are freaking out about Wave 4? It's not like it will be hard to get these figures. But people are acting like if they don't preorder within minutes of them becoming available they won't ever be able to do so.

Why? I could see making sure you get Mario or Zelda at launch or whatever. But do you really think it will be hard to get skyrim switch or whatever other lame games come out at launch? Launch games for consoles are notoriously garbage.

I would say releasing away from when the Xbox and PS4 are having massive holiday hardware sales makes the price look better.

"guaranteed"

What recourse do you have if they don't get enough stock to satisfy preorders?

(That's a rhetorical question; I know there's none.)

Screen protector chat: I liked having one on the 3ds since my cheetos encrusted goon fat fingers need to use the stylus to type stuff without typoing constantly. After a while the stylus is leaving marks in the glass screen protector.

For the Switch since its using touchscreen technology pioneered a decade ago instead of in the 80s and doesn't need a stylus I'm probably going to pass because I don't use the things on my tablet or phone and they are fine.

If you happen to be in Sweden on the 4th or 5th of February, you can get to try the Switch in person.

Or you could just go to Japan for the after-presentation convention, which is this weekend.

Going all the way back to the original Game Boy and Palm Pilot I've never put a screen protector on anything and I've never had an issue with scratches. Yeah, people see their screen protectors get scratched up, but that's because they are made of soft material so they get scratched up and you feel like you got your money's worth.

Unless you carry your electronic devices in the same pocket as a bunch of wadded up sandpaper and ball bearings it's a complete non-issue, and even then you're probably better off just putting the ball bearings in a different pocket.

I'm gonna go around town as early as I can Friday morning after watching the presentation to see which stores are taking pre-orders as soon as they open up. With any luck I'll be able to get in s line before the window of opportunity expires

Also apparently r/nintendoswitch got verified confirmation that the Switch is in Best Buy's system at $250.
