Awake and unreal, off to nowhere
I completely wrote off ever doing any kind of pre-orders or business in general from Target and BestBuy due to past colossal fuckups on their part. Seems like every time I order something collectible or limited from Amazon the package will arrive damaged. People poo poo on Gamestop a lot, but they are the only ones who have never screwed up a pre-order of mine. Obviously anecdotal and going to vary by location.

They aren't without fault though, their trade-in deals have gotten considerably worse even though other stores and Amazon started accepting trade-ins as well.

Edit: At least they are admitting it now, unlike Bestbuy where they will tell you the day before you are poo poo out of luck.

So is anyone here going to forego the pro controllers and just get multiple joycons? Was thinking about it myself because of all the positive reviews of the joycons but haven't fully decided because they're also $10 more than the pro controllers.

i don't know if i'll need or want a pro controller when it's more comfortable to just freehand both individual joycons. the Wii's two-handed setup was real comfortable and the Joycons are a better, entirely wireless version of that, so i just don't see a proper controller appealing to me when it's less comfortable

i'd rather just pick up more joycons since they can be used as either one controller or two controllers depending on the number of people who want to do multiplayer stuff

I'm kind of tempted to cancel my special edition pre order since this also comes with grips.

This is pretty cool. Wonder if the Zelda special edition case also has compartments for gmes and joycons or if it's just for the switch itself.

Thats what I'm gonna do. 4 Joycons + 2 grips. That way I'll have two "full" controllers while also having 4 "babby" controllers. Lack of Dpad worries me since one of the first games is Street Fighter and all, but I figure I'll get a stick if enough fighters come out on the thing.

Yes on games it has a similar page. Not sure about joycons. I would assume so.

it does, they're basically the same case with different decorations. they opened it up and showed it off on the treehouse livestream

both cases are pretty good. it's a nice incentive to pick up the zelda SE

I suspect that the Switch might do video out either via Display Port (like Thunderbolt 3) and converts to HDMI (which, surprisingly, is how the PS4 is set up internally), or it just uses HDMI-MHL like a cell phone/tablet.

From a few pages back but we do not need a happy thread and an unhappy thread for the Switch or anything else game related. Both kinds of opinion can exist and if the slapfighting gets too much then I will help put an end to it. I dislike the idea of echo chambers.

It is sort of interesting how even over 15 years later these threads are always the same.

What seemed super fishy to me about the Best Buy preorders was that Walmart preorders went up and sold out quickly, as did Amazon. Both eventually put up additional preorders, but those both went so fast that if you weren't following the right people on Twitter or the right forum threads you missed out. Meanwhile, Best Buy had their preorders up for hours after the announcement concluded. Does this mean not many people were preordering through Best Buy? Did Best Buy just get some insane allotment of Switches? Or, more likely, did Best Buy just let everyone and their brother preorder because they'll just do their usual cancel or delay preorders thing?

I think I remember BestBuy being allotted a lot more VR headsets (Vive and Rift) than everyone else so maybe the same goes for this. Though, I have a feeling they're might have hosed people OR they're going to keep taking preorders and start shipping them in "waves" in a first come first serve manner so they technically don't have to close their preorders. I don't even know if they have a guarantee or anything on their page saying you're getting one on release.
