What a garbage user experience, what the gently caress? Is there really no way to make this my primary device from their website or something? That setting doesn’t even exist on the console’s OS as far as I can tell.
You have to open the eShop on the primary Switch (which is probably the Switch you first logged into your Nintendo Account on), go to the profile page, and then hit the "deactivate primary" button on it, which closes the eShop. At that point none of your Switches are primary, but whichever one you next open the eShop on becomes primary automatically and stays that way until you hit the button on that.

So it's "easy" to swap primary around as long as you have access to both Switches, or can phone-a-friend or whatever. But the actual process is not very transparent and intuitive at all.

Not OP, but a lot of people got TotK with the voucher thing cause that's more cost effective. Also digital is nice for not having to bring along/swap game carts, which seems like it'd be especially convenient for a portable console.

physical media ftw OP

You also get a once-a-year chance to change the primary Switch without having to access the primary Switch. Still have to get online with the one you want to become the primary though.

Wait, there's a Pikmin 4 demo coming out today? Why aren't people posting in incoherent excitement about this! Is there a Pikmin thread somewhere where people are being excited for it?

I know it's not out yet so there's nothing concrete to actually say, but I thought this thread was for that kind of white noise excitement.

I had no idea I'd be able to play the first level of Pikmin 4 today!

Yeah not really much point in playing a demo of a game I knew I was gonna buy before it was even announced.

It's apparently one of those demos where you play the first area and progress is carried over to the full game. Basically you get to start the game early. I love pikmin and have no self control, so I'm really excited.

If you jerks keep talking about Hades it will make me want to play it again.

I beat the story proper and got the credits but there's still a lot of smaller stuff I didn't finish with the side characters, like reconnect a couple of pairs of former lovers. I really should go back and help my bros Achilles and Orpheus get laid some time...

Yeah I love these, Nintendo and Square have been doing them recently and it’s like a little treat to tide you over until the actual release.

Yeah you should. I stopped after new dialogue getting to a heat in the mid-20's without a broken streak. I am so afraid to break it I stopped. I was doing pretty good at buying everything in the shop, but still haven't.

I bounced off the Pikmin 3 demo hard enough to never buy the full game, but thankfully demos are free, so I’ll give it another shot with the Pikmin 4 demo tomorrow :)
