Ugh send me one. I'm convinced I'll see a console in the store before I see a pro controller.

I would like to play more Blaster Master Zero and Fast RMX and Specter Knight but I can't pull myself away from the legend of Zeldrox.

This screen protector is really good:

https://www.amazon.com/amFilm-Tempe...creen+protector

Comes with everything you need to get the screen nice and clean, goes on easy. I have one bubble in the top left corner where the bezel is. Doesn't affect the screen itself and I'll wait and see if it comes out over night.

Anyways, I recommend that kit. It's really nice quality. Now I don't have to be paranoid about the dock scratching my Switch yay.

Yeah, I also have this screen protector and it's good. I had an issue putting the first one on but the second one nailed it. I'm pretty sure the manufacturer will send a replacement for the one I hosed up on, too.

EDIT: Just watch out for cracking them. My brother texted me earlier and told me how he accidentally dropped the package and the two screen protectors cracked.

YMMV of course but the package specifically states they have a lifetime warranty. They will do one free replacement if it ever breaks.

I don't have experience with that particular brand but shipping on the "free replacement" is almost always the same or more expensive as buying a new one. So I would just treat them as disposable.

LEMME SHOW YOU SOMETHING!!!
I have those cool little joycon grips that make them into little controllers and now I really want to get a second pair of joycons so I don't have to constantly take them out. I am also kinda mad that you cant use single joycons to play Blaster Master, maybe when they do the Pro Controller support? You only need ZL/ZR for wall jumps, so just map SL/SR to that as well and all of the other buttons map out I think (face buttons and analog stick).

edit: dammit, Amazon had the neon joycons in stock yesterday... should have just bought them then. Why do I wait on anything? Just go with the impulse!

If you're going off brickseek and you haven't actually gone to the store, then they aren't there. Brickseek seems to just say how many were sent to each store. I drove around based on brickseek info to find a pro controller and they were all sold out.

That's very kind of you, but I'm not actually in a rush I guess. I don't have any connectivity problems and the joycon grip is fine. I'll just grab one when I see one IRL. (never, probably)

It's been hit or miss. The store with 21 on Brickseek had 1 available. There was another that showed 2, had 2 but they were both preorders that hadn't been picked up yet.

Since it's Walmart, just check their web site and see if it shows it's available for same-day pickup at that store. For some reason, the Walmart closest to me got 7 pro controllers a few days after release, none of the others had it in stock. I was able to order it online and pick it up that evening.

My amFilm screen protector came and it has to be the best tempered glass screen protector installation I've had. Use the steamy bathroom method. This is the first dry screen protector install I've done that ended up dust and air bubble free.

It feels great. It's nice and slick like glass should feel. The glass screen protector I installed on my wife's phone felt more like plastic. I even installed it slightly off at first. The top left corner was slightly too high, so it was slightly raised and was basically a long air bubble. I was able to carefully remove the entire thing and put it back on. Still no dust and absolutely zero air bubbles. Every other time I've tried lifting one off a phone, I got spider web fractures where I lifted. Not here! I have a perfect install and a spare if I ever need it. I don't do a lot of Amazon reviews, but I will on this thing.

Drove 45 minutes to buy a switch, drove 15 more minutes to get Zelda, then drove an hour and 15 minutes to get a pro controller, then drove 15 minutes to back home.

Then I played Zelda for 4 hours and its all worth it. :pcgaming:

I wonder if they're lining their pockets with the difference, or if they're mistakenly paying the federal and provincial taxes for all their digital sales.

Was wondering if anyone knows whether you can play Mario kart 8 with a single joycon? I ask because i am trying to justify purchasing the neon joycon pack on the basis that i will need more joycons for 4 player Mario kart. But really I am just jealous of the neon switch and want my own delightfully garish console!

They showed in the MK8D trailer doing table top mode with 2 people with a joycon each so yes.

It seems fitting to go driving around for long periods of time to get the necessities for a game whose main point is to wander around for long periods of time.
