:siren: Jimmy Hats' Nintendo Switch Ultimate Pre-Order Guide!!!! :siren:

The No.1 most important item on my list is, of course, the nintendo switch!!!! Here it is guys!!!



Keen eyed observers will note the absurd Canadian pricing, but fret not, with your Amazon Rewards Visa you get 2% cash back! That's free money!!!! Order enough things and you'll be able to pay for a previous thing! Buy as much as you can.

Next up is the GAMES. What's a console without games? Just a tablet for watching Netflix!*1

Here are some really GREAT GAMES that I have PRE ORDERED and SO SHOULD YOU



~ Pro Tip: Ship Zelda seperately so the stooges at amazon don't get confused and gently caress up shipping it so it arrives on launch day!!

Are you a massive piece of poo poo? Make sure you order THIS bad boy, then!



There are a lot of really good digital games coming out, too! Are you prepared to buy them all? You'll need an effective STORAGE SOLUTION to be able to STORE YOUR GAMES!! But maybe you don't want to rent out your taint to pay for overpriced SDXC cards? Just make one at home: the system will recognise it all the same! Format your SDXC card correctly and you'll be able to trade your used digital games to your friends!



Battery woes? Worried about the left joycon disconnecting? You're going to need some handy accessories to get you through the tough times!

Here's a few external battery solutions from JIMMY HATS.



This bad boy has enough juice to extend your playtime from 2 hours to 5 1/2! That's an increase of at least 174%!

Playing switch while your mom drives you to the curling rink? Plug this guy into the dash and you'll be G2G (good 2 go) (good to go)



~ Jimmy Hackz: If you get two and splice the wires together, you can charge your device twice as fast, provided you have an additional car to connect to!

In order to solve the left joycon problem, I've had my best friendgineer (friendship engineer) on the case. We've come up with a nifty solution...



By simply purchasing an additional set of joycons, and rotating one of them 180 degrees, you'll have 2 high function joycons for you to play, and you can give the lovely left handed ones to your little sister or mom or whoever you play video games with! gently caress 'em!*2

Finally, you're going to need a way to carry your NEW nintendo around! There are a lot of great items out there, but you can't go wrong with a proper briefcase.



Storing your switch with your FAT STACKS is ideal, since all that green is going to keep it cushioned and shock resistant! It's also going to help you along when you need to purchase those 3 extra sets of joycons, 2 pro controllers, SDXC card, portable USB-C battery pack, LOZ:BOTW DLC packs, Shovel Knight for the 4th loving time, and those cheaply made F-Zero knock-offs!



Anyways, that's my buyer's guide of must haves for the new Nintendo, the nintendo SWITCH!

*1you can't watch netflix on the Nintendo Switch
*2Don't literally gently caress your little sister or mom. Leave that to Corrin

you got yourself a pretty good list there James Hats but I'm especially proud of you for this one. I will buy nintendo switch fire emblem (not fire emblem warriors though because I bought Hyrule Warriors twice) in your honor even though I don't think I will enjoy it

Grey Joycon switch because I don't wanna look like a chump if/when I play on an airplane
Zelda + Expansion pass because it helped me use the $25 off $100+ visa checkout thing
Bomberman R
Switchclips
Also have Mario Kart paid for

Isn't Bomberman going to be on the eShop? Seems like that'd be the best way to get it really, rather than buying a physical copy, since it means you can boot it up anytime, anywhere for a quick blast without having to worry about always having it to hand.

Zelda and others would require a larger time commitment to get the most out of, but Bomberman is a game you can play 5 minutes of (or more if you want) and have the essential experience because rounds are so fast.

If I buy amazon gift credit/get gift balance now, will Amazon use it to pay my Switch preorder? I have an extra 3DS my buddy wants to buy and I'd rather use Amazon than Paypal if possible.

Yeah, that's the way to go with games like that. I'm planning on getting Mario Kart for that reason, and I'll probably get Bomberman (if it turns out to be good) that way too.

Gonna buy physical for a while until microsd storage is cheaper. Plus I need to save the paltry 32GB for eshop exclusives. Getting Bomberman for mainly online and my internet connection is at home, so...

and I apologize for not having just said Mario Kart 8 Waltzing Along I will note your posting preferences for future reference

I played all of the N64 Bomberman games and had the most fun coop with Bomberman the Second Attack, but of the 40+ Bomberman games, those are really the only different ones.

Any class 10 card should be fine. Here is a Samsung card for about $5 less but if you don't have Prime you'd have to pay for shipping because it's under $35. FWIW I have the 64GB capacity card you linked in my 3DS and it hasn't ever given me any issues. I generally avoid Sandisk cards because they really don't like having the same sectors rewritten over time but most of the other microsd manufacturers use a different type of nand so they're fine.

You might want to wait until people can test different brands in the Switch though. No clue what max read/write speeds the system supports yet.

Don't forget that updates take up space and considering that stuff like their entire online system is practically nonexistent right now, you're probably going to have a lot of patching over the next year

I went ahead and bought the PNY I linked. It's a class 10, it gets up to 85mb/s and The Verge mentioned the brand in its recommended picks, figured it was all good enough.

I'm not gonna buy lots on digital since I like having games on a shelf, basically only downloading stuff that I can't get physical like Setsuna or that I'd never want to remove anyway like Tetris. I figure a 128 will be more than enough.
