Is there a way to check the actual download percentage on the Switch?

Click on the game from the main tile menu. The pop up will tell you the download progress percentage.

 

[styl3s]

Is it up on Amazon for digital yet?

It's on amazon and says "available now!" but i am also wondering if codes are being sent now before i pull the trigger.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

If I get a SD card can I move it to that later?

Click on the game tile

 

[Steiner]

I have an 8 AM flight why am I downloading this... =[

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Download is GOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[molnizzle]

Is there a way to check the actual download percentage on the Switch?

Try to launch game.

20% here. Bless the gigabit.

just click A on the title you should see it

 

[Cindro]

It's downloading at a rate of about 1%/minute. There goes my dream of getting a match in before bed.

But I'll be ready to kick some asphalt right after work tomorrow! This weekend shall be glorious.

Don't you want to race on your 8am flight

 

[usctrojan]

To play on the flight?

 

[Undead Fantasy]

Don't see one anywhere.

Excellent.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

it is fast loading internal storage why move it? but yes you can move your files easy

 

[Strider]

Use Y, not A.

O_O

I had been playing in handheld mode earlier and never even bothered to try this. This will def make the game more comfy to play. Thanks!

 

[PyroPaperPlanes]

First world problems: I forgot to pick up a Micro SD Card, and I don't have enough storage to play it. Derp! Guess I'll just have to wait til tomorrow.

 

[Steiner]

Don't you want to race on your 8am flight

I mean yes, but now I'm going to play in bed and end up getting like 4 hours of sleep.

 

[feel]

Wow surprised me that I didn't need to manually copy the key I bought from amazon.com, I just clicked a button that said reedem on nintendo.com and the game popped on my Switch's screen instantly. You definitely don't expect something that smooth and with the times from Nintendo. 😂

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Amazon still hasn't shipped -____-

 

[KingBroly]

This is downloading slower than I'd like on my connection

Spoiler

1000/1000.

 

[Kodaman]

I was supposed not be downloading this... dammit

 

[JetBlackPanda]

it is fast loading internal storage why move it? but yes you can move your files easy

Thanks!

Also it will download in sleep mode right?

 

[Alex]

It's on amazon and says "available now!" but i am also wondering if codes are being sent now before i pull the trigger.

Knowing Amazons hot streak today, they'll make you wait while they ship you a piece of paper that says to go onto Amazon.com and check your digital game library.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

North Dakota doesn't allow companies to charge tax on digital goods. If you were to happen to move there, of course.

sounds like a nice place for a Summer home

 

[Mass Appeal]

Damn, I did not know it downloads to your sd card first. Thought it would give me the option to choose. Can I move it to internal storage just as easy ?

 

[richiek]

It's on amazon and says "available now!" but i am also wondering if codes are being sent now before i pull the trigger.

I preordered on Amazon and got the code at midnight.

 

[TwoDurans]

41% Let's do this!

 

[Conor_Fool]

Good god this is downloading slow

 

[molnizzle]

Switch really needs f.lux/NightShift functionality. Playing with the lights out in bed feels like I'm looking at the sun.

Thanks!

Also it will download in sleep mode right?

Yes it will. Faster too, though that might just be placebo effect.

 

[gagecube]

I mean yes, but now I'm going to play in bed and end up getting like 4 hours of sleep.

I'm sorry for your loss




lmao the switch gets awful download speeds. I have good internet here and I'm at 6% in 13 minutes

 

[forrest]

Downloading now!

 

[Symphonic]

It's on amazon and says "available now!" but i am also wondering if codes are being sent now before i pull the trigger.

It says Available Now but then has a Pre-Order Now button to buy it, and it won't let me use my credit reward points (which they don't let you use towards pre-orders).

Not sure if the system is in transition or what.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

lmao, that debate against Chomsky is something.

 

[fernoca]

Going to be a long hour. My connection usually downloads 6.5GB per hour. XD

 

[centracore]

Click on the app that's being downloaded.

Click on the game from the main tile menu. The pop up will tell you the download progress percentage.

Thanks everyone, never would've thought of that.. 33% downloaded!

 

[victreeb3l]

The first week of Mario Kart is fun. Its basically the only time I get to 1st place regularly.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Thanks!

Also it will download in sleep mode right?

it downloads faster in sleep mode

 

[_woLf]

So, are there any new hidden things that weren't in any previews?

 

[NarrowPath]

Saw people playing on twitch, fired up the Switch, credit card cleared with no hitch, got shelled into ditch

 

[Steiner]

Hotel wifi here: I'm at 3% and I started right when it went up. I guess I won't be playing until morning after all. RIP.

[Big Brett]

life is good where's the gaf lobby at

 

[RandomExpletive]

Man this poor Amazon CS rep, did not give the right answer about why he can't expedite my MK8D order. Guess I'll call back tomorrow for compensation. Can't believe this is gonna happen again, I don't wanna do this song and dance again, even if it nets me $20 bucks

 

[ZeroX03]

Yeah if you're in a hurry, always download in sleep mode on consoles.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

not gonna play tonight anyway, just wanted to make sure I did not have to wait to jump in tomorrow

 

[PreyingShark]

life is good where's the gaf lobby at

Codes in OP, I'll join once more people have the game downloaded.

 

[sneas78]

Will I be able to purchase this game form Eshop at midnight tonight.. in the US?
