Did Amazon (US) already sell out of pro controller preorders or was it just listed and hasn't gone live yet? I know it's available on other sites for pre order just would prefer to order it through them!

Amazon sold out but GameStop and BestBuy have been reopening orders pretty frequently.

It's funny, if the Switch had Stardew Valley as a launch title, I would be dropping like $600 on it, BOTW, and a pro controller. Since it's not, I can play BOTW on Wii U, and wait on Stardew Valley till it comes out on the Switch and I get it.

Frankly I'm glad I don't have to get a Switch at launch. All I really care about is Zelda and since the Dishwasher recently shat itself that made the decision of just getting it on WiiU simple.
A mate of mine is Bomberman crazy (he even has Act Zero) so I'll just play that and Snipperclips at his place.
I'll probably look into getting the console once at least Mario Kart and Spaltoon 2 are out.
Or he can bring the Switch over to your place! Or anywhere! At a park, or rooftop party!

Super Mario Kart has og Rainbow Road, the feather and it's really solid for a first entry into a relatively new genre so if it's the worst it's still pretty good.

MK ranking order:

MK8
MKWii
MK7
MKDD
MKDS
MK64
MKSS
SMK

You notice how, for the most part, each iteration has been better than the last? It's because each one has been better. Except DS and 7 which get dropped due to being on teeny screens with lesser controls due to the size.

I was actually going to pick this up for DS the other day but it was 14 dollars and it would never be as good as when I played it with my friend in the 90s.

Both of the DS games are definitely better than the Wii one.

7 brought me back in after I thought the Wii one killed my interest in it.

Presumably those little indicators show how many people in each setup you can have, so I would imagine theoretically there are games you could only play in certain ways, but I imagine that'd be up to the specific developers.

Actually the ds version is far superior to the original. You'll like it.
