Mother of God MK8 Deluxe looks incredible, I think that might be the tipping point for me getting a Switch

As someone that already put a ridiculous amount of time into vanilla MK8, it will be well worth it and I can't wait to put all that time into Deluxe again.:)

Highly recommend the switch pro controller. This thing is comfortable.

Agree but is it just me or does anyone else think it has ridiculously large face buttons? They're comfortable though and I love how simple it is to connect it to a pc.

I keep thinking "I should give some more time to Blaster Master Zero" but that would be time spent not playing BotW. I have not had a game captivate me so since I was a child.

I managed to order one on Bestbuy online locally (Vancouver, Canada) and one from Amazon Japan.
I'd ordered the Bestbuy one first, but then got worried about connecting to the Japanese e-shop, so I ordered a JP model.
I needn't have bothered, of course, but I wasn't sure until I saw unboxing videos about a week before launch.

By then, I'd already sold the Bestbuy.ca unit (which arrived day of launch, wonder of wonders) to a grateful friend, so I had my agent EMS my JP unit together with other junk including a Pro Con.

And then the Japanese post office returned the box to sender.

It turns out they won't send out any package containing three or more LiOn batteries--which means Switch can't be mailed out of Japan as is.
My agent ended up opening up the carton, taking out Switch, removing the two Joycons, and shipping them separately.
I should be getting the two boxes after the middle of next week.

So, yeah, if anyone's getting a Switch shipped out of Japan, be aware of the two-battery limit.

To be fair I've put probably 3 or 4 hours into it. It's a really good game as well. But it's been all Zelda all the time since.

I hadn't even thought of this possibility but it's going to be pretty funny if this turns out to be the reason why the left side is so much more problematic despite only having a slight antenna difference.

It could explain why I had problems right joy con when I was wearing my smart watch on my right wrist (I'm left handed).

Not nearly as much as it invalidates the Joycon Charging Dock. Seriously, why the gently caress would anyone need that?

Multiple controllers?

Like I have the charging grip still in its box, but eventually I want to grab a 2nd set of joycons.. so I may as well just keep the dumb thing about.

I finally opened up Bomberman to try it out and wow, people aren't kidding about the input lag. It really is unplayable, even offline. If they can't fix it in a patch, hopefully there can be some sort of deal where owning Bomberman R gets you a discount voucher for Bomberman '94.

I also hope that Konami buys me a pony.

If I get a second set of joycons to use for multiplayer stuff and leave a set on my switch at all times, I am totally getting the charging dock.

Zelda spoiler: I found the giant labyrinth swarming with guardians in the northeast corner of the map and instead of actually completing it, I was able to glide over to it from the Tech Labs roof and then determine where the entrance to the shrine was. Easiest shrine so far, and so loving cool I could just cheat my way in! :

Then you missed a bunch of chests, some weapons and a whole basement of real good stuff.

I think we're out of luck, sadly.

The PS2 port is available on the Japanese PSN for PS3 though IIRC. Not the answer you want, probably, but in terms of legally getting it that's your next best bet. It comes with Galaxy Fight, at least.
