I've had this one since launch, and while it has served it's purpose, I'm getting annoyed. It isn't quite as firm as I would like. Plus, the joycons get stuck on the mesh when you give it the ol' in out.

This one is on sale, and will be delivered today. It's got some room, and it is hard body. I think I will really like it.

I have this case but I got it for only $19.99 instead of $25 because I bought it at Toys 'R Us a full week before I got a Switch because I was jonesing for one like everyone else in this thread.

No room for an adapter but having the Switch logo all over the case and on the zipper helps you throw the fact that YOU HAVE A SWITCH right in the face of everyone else on the bus/train/dollar van.

It's already protected my Switch from two falls and is solidly constructed.

I don't know why people get games from Amazon if they absolutely have to play it at midnight the day of release. It's because of the prime 20% discount right?

Games usually come out on a weekday, the package is always waiting at my door when I get home from work. I don't get not saving money. Are people taking the day off work to play a game and having it shipped?

20% is why I bought the physical copy, but Amazon ended up being delayed until Wednesday next week. Amazon customer service always seems to be accommodating of reasonable requests so I called and got them to cancel and apply $12 promotional credit that I used to purchase digital instead.

FWIW if there was doom&gloom for switch we'd probably wouldn't see it for a while. Switch isn't obnoxiously overpriced like the 3DS was at launch, and BOTW has everyone more excited as the launch software over Wii U/3DS. So I don't think the initial sales was going to be an issue (personally).

What's had me mostly worried, and what I think will be more telling of how the switch will do better in the long run, is how much software we'll get after this year. Switch seems to have a good first year planned with Zelda/hopefully MK?/Mario/Splatoon, but we don't know yet what else they have planned. It's where a lot of us kept asking after the january direct, "Where's Retro? Where's Game Freak? HAL? Next Level games [or insert other studio tied to Nintendo here]?". Because the appeal to a bunch of us on the Switch was the idea that Nintendo consolidating portability with a console would mean more titles on the platform, due to focused attention. And so far we haven't exactly seen any evidence of that, just the normal amount of software we've seen Nintendo push out. People getting annoyed at 1-2 Switch didn't help Nintendo's case either.

Basically, the switch launch seems fine and I'll enjoy the switch while this lasts, but I'm not really convinced that we'll continue to see this momentum for the next year or 2 yet considering Nintendo's history from several of their Non-Wii consoles.

That said, there were some people who doom&gloomed the wii up until the end, even though the Wii did perfectly fine. I think if Nintendo can keep rolling up software like how they did the 3DS then they'll be perfectly fine.
