$300 for the system, $60 for Zelda, $? for Bomberman, $70 for a Pro Controller (if I can find one!), and $20 or so for a carrying case. If 1,2 Switch actually turns out to be a decent party game, add $50 to the total.

I'm all in on Switch for day one.
Grey Nintendo Switch ($300)
Zelda BoTW SE ($100) but really it's $80 with GCU
Pro Controller ($70)
128GB Micro SD card ($40) technically shouldn't be on list since I have an unopened spare that I've had for months.
No other games besides Zelda grab my attention.

Why even buy a switch? Youll be abole to play the definitive version of switch games soon enough via emulation anyway

This is probably the only launch of a console where I don't have a majority of the games preordered. Only the system and Zelda for me. I look forward to giving that game my undivided attention. However, I think I will reserve that Switch portable cover, since I plan on taking that thing everywhere
I love taking my $500 PC to my friend's house or the bar and just easily linking up for streaming local mp with Ultra settings. Good times.
Edit: I am a primarily PC gamer and have a decent modern setup. The Switch offers a LOT to me.

I'm buying the grey Switch, Zelda, and maybe a 64-128 gigabyte SDXC card so ~$360-400 before tax. After that, Mario Kart 8, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and Disgaea 5 Complete. I doubt I'll need any accessories.
edit: All of this will be less than what I spent on my PC's video card.

Your right, once people find out you can do this, Nintendo is doomed.
Not including the tax.
Switch system - $300
Zelda Master Edition - $110
Micro SDXC 128Gb - $40 (I will decide closer to launch if I want to still buy it but leaning that way. I might even have that before the system is out.)
Super Bomberman R - Depends on the price. I've played some Bomberman in the past but I've never been a big fan of it. I like puzzle games.
I'll see what is on the eShop at that point but the above should be what I'm spending already to start. I'm not going to think about the Pro controller until I see how the joycons and the grip feel first.

If BotW is your only game, just give the joy con grip a try. Apparently it's pretty good. No need for an expensive Pro until you need a good dpad and/or you find the grip uncomfortable.

Ever heard of this cool invention called a laptop?
Too much.
I've got a Switch, Zelda, 1 2 Switch, and an extra set of Joycons preordered and paid off. I'm gambling on 1 2 Switch because I think my extended family will LOVE it, even though it doesn't look that amazing to me.
Before launch, I also want to get a 200gb Micro SD card*, and the controller for the joycons with the charging port.
*Has anyone else noticed that on Amazon, 256gb cards are like $200, and 200gb cards are like $70? That's nuts to me.
EDIT: Wow, I thought I was spending too much, but reading some of the posts in this thread is making me feel a lot better.

Latest models are around 200, I've seen the previous models at around 140.
I will need Pro Controller for Splatoon 2 regardless so might as well buy it now. Besides I fully believe it's the best way to play these games when on TV. Wii U Pro Controller is an incredible controller in my opinion.
Console = $470 AUD
Zelda = $90 AUD
Carry Case = $30 AUD
Total = $590 AUD (~$446 USD)
I actually only paid $6.50 AUD because i traded in my Wii + Wii U + PS3 + Games. I would've kept the PS3 but the wifi chip shat itself the other day so fuck it...
Also, I might buy a Pro Controller later but I want to try the Joy-Cons first and then compare it to the Pro Controller before i do.

i own a high end pc. why would i waste money on a mid level one?
Lol at people caring what others do with their money
Gotcha! I plan to get one the second I need a good dpad or that I find the grip uncomfy as well. Just wanted to save a few bucks at launch
Switch(Grey) $300
Neon Joy-con(Red and Blue) $80
Breath of The Wild Master Edition $103.99*
Neon straps (Red) $8
Neon straps (Blue) $8
Charge Grip $30
Legend of Zelda tunic starter kit $30
Hori Zelda game card case $10
No tax.
Not sure what other games to get for day 1.
*Amazon Prime 20% discount
On the topic of memory. I think I'll be using the micro sd I'm currently have on the shield tablet.

North of 1000 dollars for a plastic, 3kg gaming laptop, or 1500 dollars for a premium ultra book that requires an eGPU to deliver proper gaming.
That's not even close to competitive.

Here's hoping switch day isn't ruined.

I had Amazon credit, so I can get a switch with Zelda for 240. Which is all I need at launch. I don't plan to get any controllers until the prices go down and there more games to take advantage of it.
Gamestop sucks. Never forget.
Heh I've got $50 credit gift. Can it be applied after you've placed an order?
