I'm a poor who blew all her money on the Switch plus Zelda and is banking on the fact she's had her phone without a screen protector for three years without it shattering or scratching and I drop it way more than my 3DS or Wii U tablet. Also my first game is physical, so I can hold off on the SD card for now. What I'm saying is, my preorder list is +Switch +Zelda

lol if you didn't run right out to your local GameStop the morning after the press conference and snag the last neon Switch. Why yes, I am easily susceptible to video game marketing, why do you ask?

Mahoning posted:Holy poo poo guys. When you set up the Switch kickstand (with the JoyCons connected, which is never a way you'll be playing it) and then you nudge and push the Switch, it falls over! What a piece of poo poo! I'm mad that Nintendo didn't account for gravity.

tsob posted:He'd consumed a pre-order slot. I don't know if that required a deposit of some kind, but even if it didn't the slot still has value and he was still putting time and faith in the slot as a product. Failing to guarantee that slot or give him a grace period if the order encounters an issue is a problem on their end, and reflects badly on them as a company. Probably impacting future sales, even if only marginally. I mean, I live in a city of about 50,000 people absolutely covered with Gamestops (there's one in the mall on the other side of the highway from the one I ordered mine in, for starters) and yet at noon the day after preorders were announced, I got the last neon Switch. Meanwhile a friend of mine who lives in a semi-major German city preordered one today and said that the cashier seemed baffled by the idea. I don't know if it's a difference in demand or that NOE allotted more systems than NOA did per store or what, but it's pretty different. It seems American availability is much lower and if you want one on launch in NA, you need to go to a Gamestop at midnight or a Toys R Us in the early morning.

I can't believe Netflix will never ever make an app for the Switch and that my other consoles and second HDMI port on my TV are going to catch fire, ensuring I can never watch Netflix on my TV while my Switch is plugged in. What even is the purpose of a game console then?

If you're not eating ramen for an entire month to afford the Switch day 1, are you even a Nintendo fan?

tsob posted:What confirmed non launch day games are people looking forward to? Beyond the obvious Super Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe I'm at least looking forward to The Binding of Isaac:Afterbirth+, ARMS, Disgaea 5 Complete, Stardew Valley, Jackbox Party 3, Sonic Mania and maybe Oceanhorn and Dragon Quest X. Splatoon 2, Super Mario Odyssey, Stardew Valley, Fire Emblem Warriors, Fire Emblem 2018 (maybe. if it's more like older FE games than Fates, though that's unlikely), Xenoblade 2, Octopath. The inevitable Pokemon and Smash too, but those haven't been confirmed.

Honestly, I kind of like that Gamestop charges your card when you put money down. At least I know that my card's already been processed and I'm good.

St. Blaize posted:How does GameStop confirm that the person picking up a preorder is the one who made it? As far as I can tell the only info they got from me is my phone number. Do they check against the card I paid with? ID and the card you paid with, if I remember correctly. Might need the receipt from when you paid it off too. Infinitum posted:Also the best thing about the cnet video is when he takes the joycons out and physically knocks the switch over to make it look like it fell on its own I also enjoy when he places like 40 lbs of pressure on top of the Switch to snap the kickstand off. hopeandjoy fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Feb 26, 2017 |

Dehry posted:I would think as long as you don't go to the internet and say "My name is John Smith and I ordered a Nintendo Switch at Gamestop Store #1234" it's pretty safe. Hmm? Yeah, of course it's safe, I've never had any issues. I just don't quite remember what the rules are for people who don't have a rewards card.

Pretty much every time I order something with two day shipping, Amazon actually ships it the night before it's guaranteed delivery date. Of course, you could've been smart like me and walked into your local game retailer of choice and ordered it and paid it off immediately, insuring you will get it as the clock strikes midnight.
