Hope you enjoy, wish I didn't think it'll fail, though.

I hope I enjoy too. I am fine if I do not, but hey, I was wrong about the PS4 and the WiiU and have loved them to bits! It's been a long time since I got a launch console.

I was a bit worried about the brave new world of gaming it looked like we were heading towards so Im glad we have returned to normal now half the internet has gone back to predicting Nintendos demise.

At the least it won't do as bad as the Wii U. I mean, they were able to communicate that it is actually a new system.

Gotta say, I'm feeling a tiny bit of relief that Splatoon is in June. I didn't want to divide my time between it and Zelda.

Hmm, lets see...

I bought a Wii U + Smash Bros bundle for 250 a couple of years back. The Switch will probably cost a hundred more after taxes. And apparently there aren't any bundled games available as of yet. Eh, pretty salty prices at the moment, but nothing that would keep me from getting Splatoon 2. I'll probably just get the new Zelda for the Wii U though.

280 for a Switch? Are Nintendo high or what, that's completely out of whack when the PS4 Pro isn't much more.

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

WillWii-u pro controllers work with it?

The same Rayman game is pretty lol. And Mario Kart + a tiny bit of DLC. I can only imagine Smash Bros would be ported

As someone who initially laughed at the Wii-u I now own one and it's a pretty great system once it settled and got games. I wonder how much harder they will be to find and more expensive they'll become. Theres a huge backlog of games on the Wii-for someone to work through. Lots of great co-op ones, too.


Thankfully at least the online service but doesn't affect the Wii-u or 3DS

Got a pre-order in at Best Buy before I went to sleep, but I see they're still available while Amazon's are closed, which has me worried that they're just taking every pre order and are going to cancel a bunch.

This does not mean I will probate/ban people who want to make fun of the switch because I will own one. By all means be as funny/mean/sad about it as you want!!

Oh poo poo, when was that up? I only saw the gray ones in stock.

I haven't given a gently caress about Nintendo since the SNES, which I loved, and it was enticing enough for me to wake up early to try to reserve one. USB-C was a pleasant surprise. Having to pay for another online service was a bad surprise. As was 720p and battery life. Game selection for 2017 is pathetic, but that's expected. Wife would love playing Mario Kart with me, which makes it worth it on its own. And then maybe she'd stop calling the ps4 a nintendo.

Everyone else's negative reaction to the price is giving me pause, though.

Honestly if nintedo would assure me that they wont ratfuck the switch with another dedicated handheld then I would be less skittish with the thing. I need something portable, im going to be gone for a few months at around march, so it would be great there. Except you know only having one game to play thing

Yeah, I don't get why they didn't make the other humans cartoonish like Mario. It just looks really strange.

Pretty sure there's no shortage of good 3DS and Vita games if you need something portable come March.

I have both. I rather take something newer, but I can always buy some titles Ive backlog for either of them instead. Which seems the more sensible thing to do given that there aint going to be poo poo internet wise there for a long time.

Do I just go pre order it somewhere else or keep refreshing amazon to see if they get more preorders up? I know sometimes they end up getting more throughout the day or it could be days.

Smash Bros would take public interest away from Breath of the Wild. They aren't gonna say poo poo about a new Smash Bros until at least e3.

I wonder how many XB1s people bought for Scalebound. Or PS4s people bought for FFVIIR.

People will buy your console if they feel like games are coming out to it. If you have games show those loving games because keeping them a secret isn't doing you any favors.

There's no definitive list of launch games yet, but Breath of the Wild; 1, 2 Switch; Super Bomberman R, and Just Dance appear to be the only notable launch games.
