Like 95% of all the poo poo I've ever ordered from Amazon has been delivered through USPS. I'm pretty sure that's their primary shipping partner.

Ups and fedex have contracts with usps to finish delivery. So they might ups to your town then go with the mailman to you.

Zelda BOTW is incredible you guys.

Just spent hours doing absolutely nothing and had an absolute blast.
All the little things about this game are just going to blow your mind once you get your hands on it.
The spirit of wonder and exploration is back. My god is it back

Will post a 1-2-Switch trip report as well later, as my Niece was over and we played through all 28 games.

For now tho, I need sleeep

Got a tldr on 12 switch?

Honest question, how long does it take to download the day 1 patch for the console and Zelda? I just want to get into this ASAP and decides if I sleep tonight or not

Also got an email from my gamestop saying they wouldn't do a midnight release but when I called they said they totally would so who should I believe

Call the store after normal closing time and see if anyone answers the phone.

I here the joycons aren't comfortable in the grip being perfectly parallel. I wonder if a 3rd party grip could improve the ergonomics. I always used grips on my 3ds because the thinness hurt after a while.

I'll wait on a charging grip to see what comes out.

Went to walmart before coming to work to snag a pro controller. Did so. Guy working said they had more people waiting in line than stock they got for the midnight launch which was 'a bunch'. People started lining up at 8PM, He was surprised that MOST people didn't buy Zelda or any game, and only 2 people bought pro controllers.

So add to the anecdote list.
1. Its selling well. And not in the NES Classic we sold all 4 we put on the shelf sense.
2. Lots of people going digital.

Was this through Amazon? Mine is still showing as preparing shipment and chat rep said it's still guaranteed for delivery today.

Are you in a big city with same day amazon? I used to live in San Diego last year and if I ordered something by 11AM it would show up at about 7:00 that night. If they have that infrastructure near you then good news bad news, its gonna be in the evening.

Everything I'm reading suggests people are having no problem getting the console if they wander in when the store opens.

Love how the ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY crowd is all crickets right now, pretty clear Nintendo isn't in the business of losing business

YMMV, I went to snag a pro controller from walmart and they were sold out of the console at midnight. My area has like 2 places you could buy one and one was sold out.
But every thing Im reading is stores getting 50, not 3 like the NES classic. Which I don't get, I though Nintendo was supposed to be getting rich by not selling things? Oh wait artificial scarcity is stupid as poo poo.

I may get one like a dumb child if it's easy to snag one, or of it restocks on the reg in the next few weeks....god drat it why did zelda have to turn out so good

YMMV, some areas sold out, some have lots. Call around. Try walmarts.

Rocket league had lobbies and infrastructure for normal online play it just got overrun and exposed as bugged at launch . Frmx sound like they launched with nothing but quickplay even built.

Lobbies and stuff in general, are tied to the network phone integration stuff that doesn't exist yet. (Lol at that) but I would assume it will get lobbies and matchmaking when they, you know, exist on the system. They might not want to waste resources build something they don't have to, or it might not eve be possible to do that stuff until later.

Infinitum did a mini review a few pages back.

Made me want it more. But like for $15-20 instead of the $0 I was willing to pay before. Hoping it gets bundled with some joycons so I can have 4 for rooftop parties.

Harrow posted:

I do wonder when stores will have Switches available again--like, whether we're talking weeks or months. I know I'm going to want a Switch eventually, so I'm tempted to wait to play Zelda until I get it if it's only going to be a couple weeks to a month. At the same time, I don't know how Nintendo's doing things this time and maybe they're just going to drip-feed out consoles for a while so as not to produce more supply than there's demand for? I dunno.

Its a Nintendo handheld(sortof) If you aren't getting now Id wait for the switch lite.

It's in the hardware per FCC filings. Nothing to do with software.

No, we know they put in a lovely antenna. If the transmitter is still only at 50% you can still make it better by firmware update.

Intel&Sebastian posted:

Yeah actually I wouldn't say a revision is for sure coming because they seem to be backing off this thing being a DS replacement but that just makes me less likely to ever want to buy one assuming a lot of the hardware probs I'm hearing about are real.

Naw the DS was going to be "The third pillar" alongside the Gameboy and tv consoles. Then it took the gently caress off and bye bye Gameboy. It will take a whole lot of success for this to replaces the 3ds but its not impossible. And you should for sure not take their word for it.

A tablet device screams revision. If they can combine some cards and squeeze more room for more battery life I fully expect that to happen.

Loging in and buying SC was the easiest its ever been to buy a nintendo thing online. Downloads are blazing compared to psn I'm used to.

Design flaw. I'm doing store stuff from couch with pro controller. Hit the home button and it launches back into snipperclips. Home button won't respond because snipperclips doesn't use pro.

Have to walk across the room to back out of snipperclips.

Zelda is cool where it not only lets you go straight to the end if you have the balls, it loving gives you it as a quest to temp you/dare you to try itso drat good. As if people (me) didnt believe you could from preview talk. It honestly sounded like some developer brag. drat.

Finally got my HORI screen protector.

It's a loving POS. Not at all like other ones. They usually have a tab to stick to the screen so you can get things lined up. Then a split backing and then a top layer.

This one: just two backings, one is about 15% of the thing the other 85%. Nothing to get it centered. Just an absolute piece of trash. Going to send it back for a refund.

The strange thing is that the youtube vid about the protector is just like the normal ones. I seriously don't get this.

Mine was not like that at all. Did you get the cheap on or expensive one? I got the dust tabs. The back was 50/50.
