Definitely going to have to see if anywhere has a pro controller in stock today. The dpad still feels weird to use, and the L/R buttons are too small for my human sized hands
I'll definitely get a pro at some point but the grip isn't too bad! Will take a little bit of getting used to though haha. Don't mind the lack of dpad as it means the gf and I instantly have some multiplayer action.

Any Zelda Wii U copies around? I'm a bit worried it's going to be rare.

About 10 people in line for Switch when I rocked up at 8am. A couple more came after me. They agreed to price match Big W even though it wasn't open yet, so I got Zelda and Pro Controller at a decent price.
Sitting at work with 2 bags full of Switch + accessories + Zelda, gonna be a slow day.

Where did you get yours from? I have a pre order at eb games Hobart but my flight doesn't land until 4pm so going to try get there before it closes.
I saw about 10 copies at my local Big W. Stop by one as soon as possible in case you're worried.

EB Eastlands.
On the phone yesterday the guy said they had a few spare gray ones so if anyone wanted to walk in they could probably get one right now.
Anyone else buying the Zelda collectable bundle?

Have no real interest myself, but it's always cool to see customers and staff hyped for a good hardware launch

Thanks!
Picked up a copy at Big W Brisbane city. They had 5 Wii U copies left. Pretty happy with $75 as well.
The guy at the store said they had sold pretty much all of their Switch stock this morning. They still had a few bundles left. Said their store had made over $10 000 in Switch consoles/products before 9am this morning.
I wonder how the sales will ultimately pan out?

Good old Gerry. Always fun to watch his grasp slowly loosen and him flip his shit.
I'm 29 and have only ever played a few hours of OoT and TP, and none of the rest.

I love the Joycon grip setup, Joycons in general blew me away.
Didn't like the pro controller at all from my short time with it.
I mean yeah, it's the only reason to buy a Switch right now lol
Yeah performance is rough, especially in handheld mode.

I'm gonna have to try and up my shooting out resumes I think. Sent one yesterday to a dream company (though not dream job) but I've got to just shotgun these out I think.

I haven't played a Zelda game since Zelda II. I'm far from a faithful Nintendo fan, I'm often pretty down on them actually. Not a Smash fan, don't like the NSMBU games very much, despised Mario Kart Wii and Gamecube (but love MK8), thought 3D World was underwhelming (SMG blew me away though).
I'll call it as I see it. I'm very skeptical it will be a 98% game for me, but I'm not expecting it to be anything less than "very good".
Also I have way too many games now. No more buying games for at least a few months.
I'm 40 and have played 5 minutes of OoT and none of the rest. My gaming ignorance knows no bounds!

I'm 31 and have beaten every Zelda game ever released in English (apart from the CDi monstrosities) as well as Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland and Tingle's Balloon Fight. I am not buying Zelda at launch because I know it will sit there unplayed for weeks due both to my need to travel for work and not being able to justify a Switch financially right now.
It makes me sad.
If it wasn't for the financial part the switch would fit your work travel schedule!
It's awesome. Really feels like what the Wii U should have been. Also Zelda is daaaamn.

Hey AusGaf, Friendcode is SW-3278-9881-9495
Add me, ta.
Add me, ta.
I'm 35 and have never played a Zelda game for more than a couple of hours, so we are out there.
Me either. Or a Mario really.
But then I've never really owned any Nintendo hardware. At least for any period of time. Well aside from a game and watch.
Added you mate. Do I show up as Rez or 1588-7540-0511 lol. Anyone feel free to add me too. Pretty dumb that you can make a user id but you can't use that instead, especially when you can add randoms you play with after a game? Weird.
Budgeting is also a major part of us not getting one either, that and lack of games at launch.
We're going to Melbourne for the F1s so that's eating up a decent chunk of money ($300 for a ticket alone!).

I've never played through any Zelda game, and my first console had wood panelling and levers. But I'm not buying a Switch either, so not much use here.
I really enjoyed it, but it's definitely not my favourite Marvel movie. They nailed the tone though.

Taking Mrs Squirrel to see Adele tomorrow night. Tickets plus overnight stay in the city pretty much wipe out any Switch money I might have had.

I'm slightly younger than you and I had to look up what OoT was. I've never owned a single Nintendo product.

i take it your the bigger fan in the family
i know a few people that are going ,
same boat as yourself jambo almost nill on the zelda front
I have to say I am really surprised by that. I thought their system was going to be brought into the 21st century.

Zelda was sold out at Big W with a price tag of $79 not the $75 expected: but EB price matched the $75 without being asked. They asked if I was getting games from elsewhere and I said yes then they said they will price match the $75 Big W price.

JB were being cunts and would price match the Big W deal because Zelda was out of stock at the closest Big W, then they wouldn't price match the Big W a suburb away with stock because it wasn't their 'direct competitor'.
Which is dumb since I drove to the Big W and bought it there, so direct competitor.

Fav Zelda is still LttP by a mile.
Loved Wind Waker.
OoT was good not great.
Twilight Princess & Skyward Sword I didn't enjoy or finish.
Been a downward trend for me over the years, once I pick up a Switch in 9 months or more I'm interested to see how it holds up against the universal acclaim.
