You will not regret it. The Switch is awesome.

I was working my way though a dungeon boss in Zelda last night on the tv. Got the bastard down to 20% health. Something came up and I had to stop.

Switch is sitting on my desk and I'm going to hop right back in and finish the fight during lunch.

i think it's the first time theyve put it back in stock since it launched, so maybe they've been accumulating?

Oh my God what the fuck am I?
For anyone who wasn't able to get in on the Amazon prime batch (still shows available for me at this moment but adding to cart says out of stock). GameStop has actual non overpriced bundles available for order if you go into the store. I ordered gray system + Zelda and xpac + snipperclips, shovel knight, and Fast RMX for 445 which is exactly equal to MSRP. Will ship by 3/31 so if you aren't in a hurry it's a low effort way to go.

They had a neon bundle for a couple bucks more that swapped shovel knight for Has Been Heroes and Fast RMX for Zelda strategy guide.

If you preordered here in the UK you could have completed the one good game and then sold it on for comfortable profit by now.

I haven't played a switch yet, are the controller that come with the console lovely and should I buy a pro controller, or will I be alright with the packed in one's? I'm rich if that makes any difference

The wiki has the first method as dlc and the second is not crossed over so it is not very clear.

Yeah, if finances had allowed, I wanted to preorder, but that darn responsibility thing kept telling me no. Glad it didn't take too long once we had the means. Hopefully this is the beginning of a second wave and it'll be better for a while.

I like the joy cons on the grip but I have considered getting a pro controller just so I don't need to attach and detach them constantly.

Does anybody know when Has Been Heroes is supposed to drop? Or if there's a standard time these things come down on release days? Nevermind, it isn't coming out until TUESDAY. I'm an idiot.


Been waiting to see something other than a gif of this, and it's obvious watching the video that this is edited. The Switch doesn't even have a trajectory to line up with the dock before it just magically darts ahead an inch and slides in.

It's a Nintendo game so you can resell it at nearly full price years later.

In theory you can do the latter as long as you do it with Isaac explicitly, but I keep ending up in situations where I really don't want to "waste" my run by the time I get it so I'm not 100% sure.

Sorry, guy.
Got Neo Turf Masters. Not sure how I feel about it. I didn't play a whole lot, but how blatantly it screams emulation kinda puts me off. I mean, that menu, and the buttons being all weird. I don't know... It's probably a great game, and I will give it more time, but it FEELS like something a less honest me would have stolen from the internet and played on my computer.
