I am a 38 year old man and have been a gamer my whole life. This is the first time I've done a midnight launch for anything game related.

Long live the switch.

Despite Gamestop screwing my preorder over I managed to get one waiting in line at a Walmart midnight release.

Family member said the lines around best buy here wrapped all the way around the store outside in freezing weather at 10pm.

Meanwhile at the Walmart it was a small line of a couple families and single guys all checking their phones in a small line inside the electronics section.

Yeah it's 11:45 now and the line is at least 100 deep.

the zelda and bokoblin ones are my favorites. i thought the guardian would be better but the legs are all rubber over bendy wire. you probably don't want to move it too much if you don't want it to break

e: or did you mean amiibo in general?

Yeah I meant ones for the switch.

I have a Mario and pikachu one that sit on my desk because they look cool.

I am very glad I kept my Best Buy preorder. It's already 4 and I still haven't received my amazon order.

Amazon definitely let me down and I'm glad I had a backup.

That's my story thanks for reading.

Zelda is legit.

I'm in the same boat, but I only have the Amazon preorder.







Yeah mine is the same way. I mean I'm sure it will arrive before 8 or whatever but still.

A good friend I used to work with is going to buy it whenever it gets delivered.

The wifi in the switch is indeed poo poo. It has a weaker signal then any other device I own. It's not a huge issue but it is weird.

I appreciate this link. This is crucial.

Also, what's the recommended, must have travel case for this thing? If somebody could provide an Amazon link, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm making my Wishlist so I know what's the best for when I get this thing.

I'm getting the Hori case from amazon today. Not sure if it's any good but we will see when it gets delivered.

So since Zelda only lets you have one save (I guess) does it save on the system or the cart?

not 100% true. i have all my saves and screenshots on my sd card.

edit: i did double check too, putting the sd card into my pc and i have a nintendo folder with "album" "contents" and "save" all my screenshots are jpgs in the album and my save folder has two files of various sizes. while theres no date modified i assume the lower size file is my brothers from the start of the game and the larger one is mine ive been playing so far.

my switch lists no save data on my system at all. nothing is getting used by the system memory.

Does anyone know if there is an option to change this? Although I guess it might be better to have them on the SD card if the system goes tits up.

I bought this because it seemed small and basic. I needed something to throw in my work bag but not junk up the rest of my stuff.
It'll be here soon. I'll report back.

That's the one I bought and I really like it.

I still love my switch and still haven't hooked it up to my TV because I like having it all over the house.

Also MK8 was a trash port.

So it's better because it has leaderboards? Like that's the one thing that automatically makes it better?
