...if you're going to be swapping things why would you not just buy the cartridges?

Because microsds hold more then 1 game, and switch cartridges are so tiny I cannot say for certain I won't lose them, particularly when traveling.

Also once dlc+patches+installed data are so large as to not fit on a single sd card (a game like doom comes to mind)

Switching out something every time you want to play a different game vs switching maybe once in a while.

Just one more thing!
Maximize your expenses and minimize your convenience by going all digital but storing every game you buy on a separate microSD card. Additionally, be sure to use the same brand and size for each one and do not label any of them.

There's rumours that Squenix are considering porting FFXIV to Switch. No idea if that would be a good match.

It would ....wait a sec ...ok yeah the joycons have 4 shoulder buttons like a proper modern console ok yes this would be awesome. FFXIV really does work with a gamepad if you don't want to be PC Master Race. I would loving LOVE to be able to play this in a more portable format.

I would hope they'd think ahead a bit and make the cart version a writable chip, if Nintendo allows such a thing. For the record the PC version is currently sitting at 23GB

Yeah this is literally the dumbest thing ever. People are dumb.

Buy a huge rear end microSD card and never touch it ever again.

And buy mostly physical games so you can sell them later you hoarding weirdos.

Yes. What kind of an idiot buys tons of microSD cards to put a different game on each one? MicroSD cards are pretty much the easiest thing in the history of electronics to lose.

Word on the street is Amazon is receiving/shipping a lot of the accessories after the 3rd.

My Pro Controller is coming from Amazon Jp, which may get here before the Amazon US actually sends them out.

Gonna switch it up down the road. There is a nice Hori one from Play-Asia or perhaps the Waterfield one.

This actually isn't surprising cause John Cena (like a lot of pro wrestlers) is a huge loving nerd and he loves Nintendo. I kind of hope we get The New Day doing Switch promos next

If you are going to do it. Do it on the 2nd around noon. There are people in other time zones. Also, that way you have it ready in advance rather than someone else making the thread earlier.

So I haven't really been following the switch after my regretful purchase of the Wii U at launch, however the allure of a new Zelda appears to be too much for me.

Since preorders are sold out, whats my best option of getting one at launch? Just hoping target has some extra stock? Or should I just give up hope and wait.

My plan is to head over to a Best Buy when I get off of work and hang out there until Midnight, probably leave empty-handed, then go to a less-populous city's Toys R Us and wait until they open in the AM. Since they're not doing a midnight launch and didn't do online pre-orders, they will have stock.
