That did remind me since I woke up unusually early I said gently caress it I'll go buy some extra joy cons from Fred Meyer. About a dozen other unwashed nerds grabbing their systems & zelda when the guy right before me asked if they had the special edition or whatever it's called. When the lady behind the counter was all "0. regular game only" he goes off how he called and someone told him otherwise while getting pretty agitated. Whomever this lady was she has been doing this a while as she took on a pretty authoritative tone to tell the guy sorry miscommunication is there something else I can get you. Dude sat there for about 10s processing this before walking off.

Please be nice to retail workers they don't care about our nerd poo poo.

Extremely disappointed by the lack of 12Switch stories itt :(
If it was a pack in or €20 I would have considered it. It's a tougher sell at €50 when I've just dropped nearly €400 on the Switch and Zelda. I think a lot of people feel the same way.

Infinitum did a mini review a few pages back.

Made me want it more. But like for $15-20 instead of the $0 I was willing to pay before. Hoping it gets bundled with some joycons so I can have 4 for rooftop parties.

From my wanderings this morning:

Walmart: sold out.

Toys R Us: sold out, small amount available on Sunday
Frys: sold out
BB: sold out
GS: sold out.

Frys was weird. When I got there they had about 30 switch left but no more zelda and only 4 copies of dance. And a bunch of amiibo. Weird.

Zelda ME is rarest item
Then Pro Controller
Then Zelda SE
Then Neon console

I think it depends on the rep, when my DQ8 preorder was a couple days late I complained and they gave me an additional 30% off of the 20% discount. I'm sure a good rep would have given you a free month extension on prime or $5 account credit.

The exact follow up email:

quote:

After reviewing your previous correspondence with our customer service, I can confirm the information provided to you was correct. As my colleague mentioned, you have ordered for a Gray color console.

According to the order details, I see that you have placed an for the item "Nintendo Switch Console Gray Joy-Con" not a Blue and Red variation.

I realize this is frustrating; however we aren't able to offer any additional insight or action on this matter and any further inquiries regarding this issue won't receive a response.

Amazon seriously made me think I went crazy, because I remember selecting the Neon from a dropdown box when pre-ordering. But then, they split it to two different product pages after the pre-orders were up, so then I thought, "oh god maybe I *did* order the grey one on accident?!". A couple weeks after that, they merged it back to the dropdown list which brought back flashes of memory of me loving picking the Neon console. gently caress you, Amazon. loving pricks.

It says they do and then you click it and it says its no longer available and to choose another method. And I can download it from them, I suppose, but no discount on digital, right?'

So aside from Nintendo being incompetent as gently caress, is there a reason why the Switch keeps forgetting the wifi, won't let me sign in with my NID, and has absolutely no indicators to tell you when charging the stupid controllers is complete? Or why the left controller seemed to come with a near-full charge but the right one had absolutely zero? Or why, in god drat 2017 it doesn't come with a god drat AC adapter?

Oh wait that last one's so they can scam more money out of you. Because the 80 dollar price tag on extra controllers wasn't enough, I guess.

YMMV, I went to snag a pro controller from walmart and they were sold out of the console at midnight. My area has like 2 places you could buy one and one was sold out.
But every thing Im reading is stores getting 50, not 3 like the NES classic. Which I don't get, I though Nintendo was supposed to be getting rich by not selling things? Oh wait artificial scarcity is stupid as poo poo.

My interest in the NES classic is completely killed since it has been so long and have been unable to find one. At this point, I would much rather take that money and buy 12 NES virtual Consol games on the switch. If I was able to get an NES classic back in November I probably would have bought both

Yeah, but no discount, and BoTW is kind of big for digital given the Switch's internal memory. I want to save the space for other games, but I guess maybe I'll suck it up and buy a memory card and go all digital. Going to have to buy one eventually anyways.

Pre-ordered from Nintendo UK shortly after it became possible. Despite a couple of emails assuring me it would get here today, it has not. They told me it would be sent next day courier on the 2nd, in fact it was sent Royal Mail Tracked and has an estimated delivery date of 7th/8th March. Had a terrible week and this was to be my tonic this evening - lined up perfectly too as the wife is going out.

Seriously loving pissed off with Nintendo.

I do wonder when stores will have Switches available again--like, whether we're talking weeks or months. I know I'm going to want a Switch eventually, so I'm tempted to wait to play Zelda until I get it if it's only going to be a couple weeks to a month. At the same time, I don't know how Nintendo's doing things this time and maybe they're just going to drip-feed out consoles for a while so as not to produce more supply than there's demand for? I dunno.

Seems like probably a matter of weeks based on the sudden Amazon availability, store stocks, etc.

Mr. Harrow you are posting every five minutes in multiple threads and I think you are going to drive yourself insane if you don't play Zelda immediately. No one in these threads can prognosticate the availability or demand the Switch is going to have. It's been available for Apx 13 hours. Look deep into your soul and ask if you want a Switch, if yes go buy one now because at the rate you're debating it you're going to own one before it'll ever go on sale. Buy it at full price and maximize the time you have to spend with it.

I'm not trying to be a jerk but you sound alot like what I used to debate in my head anytime I desperately wanted a new video fame. I've learned how I work and I don't try to convince myself otherwise when I really really want a new video game. Be responsible. If you can afford it and want it just go buy it.

Two things I wasn't expecting at all: portable mode is just good as gently caress, and hidden costs is for real. Now I need an AC adapter for my room, and a hard shell case so my cat doesn't walk all over it on my nightstand. There goes like $50 on nothing. At least I can safely bring it with me with the two, though.

Just get rid of the cat, more money for games.
