$470.14 USD, including tax (some Best Buy GCU and Visa Checkout discounts thrown in, these are the final prices as listed on my orders):
Switch console (gray joy-cons): $312.69
Red and blue joy-cons: $63.59
Charge grip: $26.49
PDP screen protector: $7.41
Zelda: Breath of the Wild: $38.15
Zelda Amiibo: $10.16
Link Amiibo (archer): $11.65
Also preordered Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2 for $38.15 each, but I'm not including those in the day-one total.
I could possibly be convinced to get Bomberman.

300: Switch
80: Extra pair of joycons
80: Zelda SE with Prime discount
40: Several USB-C accessories currently in Amazon cart will probably get
10: Hori game card case
Which works out to about 510 pre-tax.
I've got microSDs out the wazoo, probably reuse a 64GB hand-me-down from another device for the time being.
If VC is there at launch I'll surely dip into that. There are a few other launch games I'm interested in, but either I'm probably not interested at high launch prices (Bomberman) or are other long single-player games that would probably be better when I'm not already playing Zelda (Disgaea, Setsuna).
If you want to count this as an accessory cost, all the talk about Switch not being pocket-friendly has me legit looking to add some large-enough internal pockets to a jacket and maybe hoodie.

Curious: Why do you need more than 4 joycons, but fewer than 6 so the more expensive single is desirable?
Out of the box having one advanced control or two simple controls is nice, but double that is better.th4tguy said:
Switch console: $400
Zelda: $80
With taxes: $542.40
Minus $150 because I took advantage of EB Games' Wii U trade in deal.
I wanted another set of joycon + the charging grip to play ARMS and other multi-player games with, but that would add $140 to my purchase.
I bought a Wii U and 3 games for around the same price back when it launched. The Canadian dollar is so shit.

Depends. I'm buying the system, Zelda, and an extra L/R set of Joycons. I'd like to have picked up an extra grip, but those are obnoxiously overpriced and I'm happy to make due with the two handed setup in the meantime.
Would really like to get Bomberman as well, but not sure if I can justify $60 for it.

So about $600 after the taxes and the deals I got to get me started. Not bad honestly.

True, but who really needs the $90 extra dock?
On topic I am getting
Switch $299.99
Zelda $59.99
Snippierclips $19.99
Total cost $380. (No tax in Oregon)
I might get a pro controller and chargeable grip down the line but probably not day one.
So far I've preordered Switch for $320, and then one big order with Breath of the Wild, the Archer Link amiibo, and Mario Kart 8 for $89. Counting tax on both.
I'll probably grab a carrying case, possibly another amiibo. So definitely under $400 on Day One, if you ignore MK8. Sounds fair to me.

Now that i think of it, probably amazon.es in Spain reduced their prices as compensation because they run out of consoles...
Does the fact that my amazon preorder does not show a date of delivery mean that i won't be getting one from the first batch? That would suck

They better have that Pro controller available at launch. They are missing out on money if they don't.

Just the console and a copy of Zelda for now, but if I find availability on that less expensive CE I miiight go for that instead. ~$380-$400
Not including a potential SD card but I plan on playing primarily physical with the Switch so that can wait, I think.

For Sure
Console - $300
Zelda SE- $100
Super Bomberman R- TBD
Snipper Clips- $20
Not Sure
Joycon Set- $80- Won't pick up if brother and/or gf get a Switch
Pro Controller- $70- I really want one but I feel like I would be better served waiting for a deal.
Also, I'm probably picking up Zelda on Wii-U

Console: Hopefully less than $150 (yay gift cards)
Zelda BotW: $51 (yay Prime)
Bomberman: Hopefully $35 (if it retails for $40)
Pro Controller: ~$75 (assuming I can ever preorder one)
So probably around $300 out of pocket for all that. Doesn't include stuff like an SD card but I'm not getting one of those for a little while, the internal memory should last me a while honestly.
Worst case scenario, if ambassador program pt. 2 happens I won't feel burned by paying too much

Console and Zelda. So I'm thinking with tax and Target/Amazon discounts, I think it will end up being around $380.
I have plenty of SD cards lying around, and I think I'll drag my feet on a pro controller.
::EDIT:: Looked up the prices and rounded it up to $366 at launch. Not bad,

Right now, I'm at $447.56.
That's the console, Zelda Master Edition, a case and a screen protector.
I'd like to switch out that Master Edition for a Special Edition Zelda instead, and then, depending on the price, I'm gonna pick up Bomberman.
Hoping to do it all regardless for under 500.
Puyo Puyo + Tetris is NOT a launch title, correct?
