Managed to score one of these off Craigslist with almost no markup, then get a copy of Zelda at Best Buy and a pro controller from Amazon Prime Now. Zelda is very good.

The system was unplayable in TV mode without the pro controller, though. The left joycon would frequently become unresponsive, and periodically would de-sync entirely. Standing close to the console helped, but even that didn't entirely get rid of the problem. The pro controller works flawlessly in TV mode, and there's no issue with the joycon when it's connected to the tablet. Seems like a lot of people have had similar issues?

Mine wasn't that bad, but I still had problems with my left joycon. The antenna surgery seems to have fixed it tho

You might want to reach out to Nintendo directly

Also I am weak and will probably spring for another dock. I have 2 TVs and use them both all the time. I"m currently doing what I was doing with my Wii U with having a spare HDMI cable and power at each TV so it was just a matter of moving the unit/dock. It's getting like why am I doing this just spend the money so you don't have to keep juggling all this crap around you can just grab the machine and pro and PLAY.

Can confirm there are no spoilers on the CD. The track listings are literally like:

Kakariko Village (Day)
Kakariko Village (Night)
Riding (Day)
Riding (Night)
Kass' Theme

And on and on. Now that I've gotten pretty far in the game I realize there's a lot of cool stuff they left out. Probably for spoilery reasons.

This is precisely the sort of poo poo I'm worried about, and to a lesser extent reducing the impact of a cool new treatment of a classic song when it comes up in-game.

There's not, but there's some rumor today of a registered but unreleased amiibo with a smash prefix possibly indicating a new DLC character or launch character for Smash 4 Switch

Yea but the new 11.3 firmware breaks all the CFW hacks (at least for now, and you can update to 11.3 safely once hacked). So units will start showing up in stores with it preinstalled.

The only thing the track listings could spoil are the names of towns (which you can probably guess if you've played a Zelda game since 1998) and maybe three names that don't make any sense out of context.

Man I really wish I could find one of these either online or in a local store. Gamestops, Targets, Walmart, and Toysrus were all bone dry when it came to in-stock cases (of any kind) over the weekend.

Yeah, it's dumb right now with the scarcity of accessories. I guess it makes sense that a whole lot of people want to buy a protective case for a somewhat fragile portable console. I got lucky and ordered one from Target when they randomly went in stock at 2 in the morning. Spent a few days prior trying to find it locally and had no luck.

When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world Diabeetus.
I've attempted several times to get a Switch to no avail, I was able to get one at launch but due to a miscommunication with my bank/credit card, couldn't buy it.

In my attempt to check inventory locally, I've been getting pretty consistent responses that Nintendo won't ship anymore until the first of next month due to them working on the issue with the joy cons losing sync/not functioning properly.

I wanna play Zelda so bad but I can't even find the drat thing on the Wii U. :(

I saw some talk about screen protectors back on launch day, but haven't been following anything since. What is the current consensus, is getting one a must? Which brand is goon-approved?

I also saw something about not being able to choose if a game saved to internal storage or the SD card, and not being able to move files from one to the other, is that true?

I'd feel bad for these people if this didn't happen all the time with like every new popular video game thing. Especially NIntendo products.

I think they were secretly hoping it was another Wii U situation. I'm not sure people expected the Switch to be as popular as it is.

Still, I feel smug as gently caress about getting it on midnight.
