So a fuckup on payment on THEIR end and they cancel your preorder?

Take it to twitter or find the PR guy, that's hosed.
They claimed it was a paypal error (apparently me switching it to credit cards didnt register despite trying multiple goddamn times ) and checking paypal, i dont see any error whatsoever, the switch payment is just listed as "cancelled" and i don't even know where to begin aruging its on their end.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
After the Zelda impressions now I want to get a Switch at launch. I didn't pre-order though so I'm probably not getting one at launch.

It is also on Wii U, friend

Alternatively, Toys R Us didn't do preorders so just go there

I can't imagine anyone actually using a Switch out there in public without smashing the gently caress out of it within minutes. Maybe if you're a passenger sitting down in a car/plane/boat/relatively empty train, otherwise newp.

Like I said in the Zelda thread, the Wii U version is just gonna be like a trailer for the Switch version as a final gently caress you to the Wii U.

Don't you have consumer rights in the US? Or is it just the wild west with regards to what companies are good and bad?

Normally in that situation they'd attempt to charge the card, fail, notify you of the failure and give you an opportunity to fix it before cancellation.

What SD cards do people recommend? I was looking at this one recommended by Nintendo Life, 200gb but significantly cheaper than most 256 gb cards.

That's the one I'm thinking about too. Per GB it costs only slightly more than 128 GB but has 50 % more space (even it won't matter this early). The write speed is slower (20 MB/s compared to 40-50 you usually get), but that only matters when downloading a game if save games are really saved onto the internal memory.

Wrap it up. Can't wait for the Switch to fail so that Nintendo can make all their games on the PS4 and Xbox One and the PC and PSP Vita. I love Nintendo's games and for some reason that means I hope they fail.

Holy poo poo guys. When you set up the Switch kickstand (with the JoyCons connected, which is never a way you'll be playing it) and then you nudge and push the Switch, it falls over! What a piece of poo poo!

Like what even is that video trying to prove? That if you gently caress about with it when it's in stand mode it's going to eventually fall over?

Has anybody ever had a console shipped to them on release date by Best Buy before? I have mine pre ordered and I can't do midnight pick-up. It says delivery date 3/2/2017, wondering if I should be optimistic or prepare to be disappointed.

Best Buy hosed up my iPhone 7 preorder and gave me $100 store credit. It came 2 weeks later. I used the credit to buy a Nintendo and a ITunes gift card.

For the Switch, I chose in store pickup this time...fingers crossed.

I wanted to get a Bomberman game that I could play on the TV as well as on a handheld.

So I bought Bomberman GB so I could play it on a Super Game Boy or on a regular GameBoy.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

to be fair it'd be hard to set up the kickstand while you're holding both joycons, so you probably would be leaving them on until you have it positioned

Hard to tell from the video whether he's just a moron making something out of nothing, though.

Looking into what places are doing midnight releases near me, got the day before release off work so I'll likely just have to do that.
