Ask me about the GAF Notebook
While true the most helpful info I got was their NES Classic initial allotment of 13 at my store. If the Switch allotment is in that range I know both big stores near me are gonna have to turn people away before they open due to how much traffic they get.

When Amazon preorders open
Seriously, I'm so nervous about it.
Gonna be like this once I finally secure my pre-order:

I would be very happy with the OS if it was still very much in the vein of the 3ds and Wii U, just nice and fast. Really love the simplicity and ease of use of their ui for consoles since the Wii.

Yeah I snuck a nap in.
I really don't think that was wise to post.
Fast isn't how I would have described the Wii U OS.
This picture is amazing.Seriously, I'm so nervous about it.

So in other words a retail rep who is essentially not in position to know anything and only loosely an employee of NoA. This is the functional equivalent of "My GameStop manager told me"
Yeah poor Jenny is going to get spammed with calls

555 area code does not exist. as a kid i was told that it was so that entertainment could show phone numbers without subjecting a real phone to harassment.
even if you didn't know the rest of the reference that's some general knowledge to hold.
What kind of spoilers are you hoping to avoid while also getting info? Lol. The price is gonna be in thread titles I assure you.

When you are old enough to get this reference...

I'll see myself out >.>
yeah I love the 3DS and Wii U UI. obviously the apps loading needs to be quicker but as far as the layout and everything goes they're the easiest to navigate. in most instances you can open what you need to open with a single input.
Talking about the OS again, I'll mention my impossible dream for the UI one last time...
Digital physical ownership.
As in, the pleasure of owning physical games and devices, but digitally. Digital representations of the physical items. So when you scroll your digital game collection, you can scroll by 3D boxes with the proper box art. You can click on a box and see the cartridge / disc etc. Scan an amiibo and it appears permanently on a 'shelf' in part of the OS. So on and so forth.
Sound crazy? Well if you hacked your Wii back in the day, the USB Loader GX had a UI that was very similar to this and it was absolutely amazing, and I've wanted it ever since. Scrolling through all these beautiful box arts, then seeing the actual disc art when you selected a game... I loved it and it made me feel like I wasn't missing out by going digital. (Of course, I actually DID have the physical versions of those games in a box somewhere, but with the Switch I won't.)
Almost a 0% chance of this happening, even if it might help Amiibo sales.

Bookmark the YouTube presentation and watch it before you check GAF. Spoiler free threads might make sense art E3 when there are dozens of presentations and remembering and tracking them all is a minefield, but this is a single video stream.
To be fair the info he gave was pretty vague and flaky as to agree with this statement. It's not like he leaked Resi7 from his Nintendo rep friend.

Hah, it's a fast moving thread!
Minus the area code, that is a legit number in my state for a plumber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okwfQTd1OOg

Pffft I'll wake up at 4:59 and be fine.
Thanks I now have that stuck in my head.
So you US people who are calling Gamestops, are you getting confirmations that they're actually taking preorders at open? I don't mind getting up at 630 to sit outside a Gamestop, but I'll be damned if I'm spending my day off getting up almost as early as I get up for work on the chance that they're taking preorders.
They flew out yesterday to Redmond for hands on training. They have been in the know in the past.
I know what you mean.
That's actually pretty smart for a business to do.
Tommy pls
