I wonder if there's going to be a bunch of different random type screens used, like some people will get an IPS and some will get a TN.

No no no no no

You're doing it wrong.

Some people will get the Super-Awesome-Amazing-Battery that lasts for 6 hours while playing Zelda
The rest will get the lovely-One-We-Had-To-Use-To-Fill-Orders that only lasts 2 hours.

But I'll be honest with you I don't think I'd actually use the switch outside of my house because can you imagine pulling it out at an airport or a park or something, how loving embarrassing

Ooh, that Mario one is quite snazzy... I'll have to seriously consider that as well...

Also, why is it listed under Commodore Amiga?

Half the fun of the amazon.ca Nintendo Switch selection is items being listed under random, old as poo poo consoles. I suspect they don't want to make a proper category yet because the console is sold out and they don't feel the need to advertise their lack of stock.

It's based on an Allwinner chip so it's much closer related to a Cubieboard or Orange pi

If you wiped your rear end, then you should wash your hands

If you didn't wipe, then you should wash your rear end

Oh I misunderstood

I will not wash my Switch after pooping because I will set it down on the bathtub before wiping my rear end and then washing my hands. Like my phone.

I still clean my phone everyday tho because it gets gross at work.

What a loving joke.

Hey VG, rush job? Yes. Yes it is.

You all may want to cancel those preorders because that poo poo isn't going to be fixed via firmware. It will be a hardware revision.

Or you can just buy the new joycon v1.1a for 89 in a month!

Just wait until you press your trigger bumps. Because that is why it's losing signal. Your index finger blocks the loving thing. People reporting this aren't losing signal because they are playing Zelda with the thing behind its back. Also, better not be 10 feet or more from your tv.

In my experience both Wiimotes and DS3/DS4s have really stable bluetooth connections, it can obviously be done

Nintendo cheaped out on the hardware because they firmly believes that's where their profit margin lies. So what do you think. :)

These idiots won't even license Dolby to give 5.1 surround to everyone. How many people have receivers capable of passing LPCM. Because if you don't, welcome to stereo.

The same way they didn't want to license DVD with the GameCube so they went with mini discs on their own format,? It's Nintendo. They are retards.

I mean yeah sometimes but they could also just release a firmware update that lowers the battery life by like 10 minutes to increase the power to the Bluetooth antenna unless they are maxing that out which seems unlikely
