Aren't they supposed to have 20 hours of battery life?

The console and that's it. If there's a market for it I will sell it, if not I will wait until I'm done with Horizon to buy Zelda. If I buy Zelda on day one the temptation will be too strong

I didn't want to pay the Nintendo tax and buy this early on since I don't expect Nintendo's software output to be very plentiful just like with Wii U. But I just got an offer on my house and we'll close a few days before the Switch launch so I'll have some extra cash... Might as well get a Switch and Zelda and wait for Mario, right? I'll likely be on the road driving cross-country to my new home on 3/3 so trying to get a Switch is going to be fun. No preorder, no nothing. At least I'll be able to stop and try my luck at a few different spots.
Everything from Amazon ES.
Console (gray) => 319€
Pro Controller => 69,95€
Zelda BotW (regular ed.) => 59,90€
Case (official) => 19,95€
---
Shipping => Free
Amazon Premium discounts for preorders => -4€
---
Total => 464,80€ (of course, since it's EU, that's with tax, and just under $500)
* I considered letting go of the Pro Controller for now, but I suspect I'll want it for Shovel Knight Specter of Torment, and that won't take long to hit.
* Maybe The Binding if Isaac Afterbirth+ if I can access the US eShop, which I won't believe until I see it.
After launch:
* Extra dock as soon as they're available! Easy TV switching is my Switch killer app.
* No Micro SD card at launch, that can wait. When I do, though, it'll be a 128GB Sandisk for around 40€. Maybe I'll need it by the time Mario hits?
* If I can find Bomberman for under 25€ (ha ha) I'll bite, although I'd rather get it digital.
* I hope MK8D has a steep discount for owners of MK8+DLC, although I don't expect it.

Haha, technically I'm now spending the grand total of... £0 on my switch at launch. Ended up chucking it on my argos card (along with a case), deal with it in April or may when I can breath a little. I'll still be buying Zelda, a pro controller, the breath of the wild amiibo and probably a sd card,but all of that together was getting pretty up there....then I realised mothers day is in March. I like to make a good effort for my partner on behalf of our kid, go to dinner and so on and that kinda broke the camel's back on the switch bill haha.

Is anyone else getting this HORI premium screen protector? There's a basic version and this 'premium' version and I'm curious of the difference.
Also, I want a pro to apply this for me cause I always have imperfect execution with these things. Maybe I could take it to a phone store? Hmm.

Nothing at launch interests me so im hoping it has a strong set of vc titles for download day one. Other than that I'll probably get a pro controller as well as the console itself.
So that should come out to around 500$ Canadian :/

Some games
SD card of indeterminate size and cost
That's it to start with.
Not too worried about software, pretty confident they're holding back on traditional handheld IP announcements to avoid prematurely killing the 3DS. And in any case I don't expect a price drop before the fall and I'd have to buy for Mario anyway...

I'm... PRETTY sure the stock will resupply itself by a lot into the next month if you can't get one at launch month. Unless you're not gonna really look for 6 months.

You mean assuming I can even get this stuff day one? My ideal Day 1 package would be:
-Switch
-The Legend of Zelda
-Pro Controller
So far I only have been able to secure:

Console with Gray Joy Cons ($399.99)
BOTW ($79.99)
Super Bomberman R ($51.99 with Amazon.ca prime member 20% discount)
L & R Neon Red Joy Cons ($99.99)
$527.98 total
Could have got the same 20% amazon prime discount for BOTW ($63.99 instead of $79.99) but my console preorder is with EBGames, and I didn't want to be in a situation where I picked up the console and had to wait for games to show up.
Will keep an eye out for a carry case and screen protector, like this model, but its currently out of stock.
Since I didn't own a Wii U or play any Wii U games, I will probably get MK8 Deluxe in April as well (from Amazon for the same 20% preorder discount).

Just the console and Zelda right now. I'm realizing I probably want a second full controller, and if the Pro is only $10 more than another full controller (the one that's essentially 2 Joycons, the core controller, what do we call that?), then I'll probably get a Pro. If I can. Are they sold out everywhere already?

$48 for the Wii U version of Zelda BotW. Pity Nintendo didn't want any more of my money than that.
Maybe around late next year, when they've finally made enough Switches for there to actually be one in stock for longer than five minutes, maybe I'll pick one up, especially if they came to their senses enough to bundle it with a game.

Nintendo Switch (Grey) - $320.24
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Special Edition) (Amazon Prime) - $85.39
Pro Controller (Amazon Japan) - $65.61
Neon Blue Joy Con - $85.39
Joy Con Charging Grip - $32.01
Neon Blue Joy Con Strap - $8.53
The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ (Amazon Prime) - $34.15
Super Bomberman R (Amazon Prime) - $34.15
Snipperclips (Digital) - $19.99
Orzly Tempered Glass Screen Protector - $9.99
$695.45
Already pre bought a 200gb micro SD so I don't have to worry about that anymore. Also the Joy Con charging grip and Neon Blue strap are completely unnecessary purchases but I just wanted them for the hell of it, glad I did since both are a bit hard to find now. Going to pay all by tax money which I usually save up for random things but might as well since it's a launch of a new system.

Updated and will now spend the entirety of my £500 budget at launch (stupidly so as I won't get round to playing all these games right away, but want to support this thing out of the gate)

£45 - Skylanders
£38 - Super Bomberman R
£32(£37) - Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ (plus £5 shipping)
£30 - I am Setsuna
(if available at launch - guessing prices based on previous games prices)
£15 - Fast Racing RMX
£15 - Shovel Knight
£500

I just cancelled my pre-order as well. Decided to just play Zelda on my Wii U and save the money. Nothing else announced interested me except Mario Odyssey. Also, the peripherals are really expensive and needing to pay to play Splatoon and Mario Kart online rubbed me the wrong way. I'll just continue to play them on my Wii U. It's a shame because the hardware looks great and I would really enjoy some powerful handheld gaming but the value just isn't there right now. Maybe next year.

Console = $300
Charging grip = $30
Zelda (digital) = $60
I also have a pro controller preordered but I may not keep it.
If the virtual console is (finally) good I'll probably pick up a few games, but I'm not optimistic.

My updated expenses after hunting down some deals. Everything includes shipping.
Switch, grey - 290 (due of Amazon FR weirdness, go into the Switch FE thread if you want details)
Zelda - 52
Pair of extra Joy-Con, neon - 70
Case - 10
Pro Controller - 60
Close to 500 then, which saves me roughly 70 compared to German prices. I could still cancel the extra Joy-Con, case and Pro Controller and I don't think I'll need them right away, but I could save 10 on each of those items and I can't imagine them dropping in price. So I'll be set for the foreseeable future. Maybe the Joy-Con charger could be a good idea but definitely not for launch.

What case is that for just 10?
This for me, unless I choose to just cancel for the Wii U version instead.

So £381 for sure and £501 if I'm feeling the other games or, in the former two's case, they review decently. However I'm selling a bunch of stuff I don't need towards it so it'll actually on the day be around £250 as far as my budget is concerned.
