[Ran Ran]

Man I won't lie the more I see the neon the more I really wish I had gotten it instead of grey.

 

[sinxtanx]

estimated delivery: 4 DAYS

welp I guess I'm buying a digital Wii U game tonight

 

[Kouriozan]

Man I won't lie the more I see the neon the more I really wish I had gotten it instead of grey.

At first I didn't feel the Neon but now I'm glad I switched from Grey.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Wish those Zelda amiibo werent more expensive than standard ones.

The Joycon charging grip is arriving today and while I'm waiting on pins and needles for it I know I'll open it, be like cool and then go sit it down somewhere

New console launches are poison.

 

[Octavianus]

Mine should be here in about 14 to 16 hours.

I alternate my playtime between consoles and handhelds maybe 40/60 so having a system that can function as either one is pretty much a dream to me.
And it plays Nintendo games and has an impressive looking list of upcoming Indie games, both of which are largely responsible for keeping me interested in gaming.

 

[ekim]

So no form of digital game sharing is possible. That's lame, but not a dealbreaker, at least for me. Can you register your account as "main" on another console without a system transfer or help from customer support?

Also, I presume that having an account as main allows you to play its games offline. Is that correct?

It literally says you can only use software on the console that is registered as the active one for downloads for your account. You cannot download or buy software on an not registered console.

You can unregister the console though in the eshop menu.

FYI be careful when messing with the joy con straps, I accidentally put it on the wrong one and it was hard to get off

this polygon article saved me some stress tho knowing its not just me

[Interfectum]

got mine all set up

Those cords are driving me crazy man.

 

[PunjabiPlaya]

Does anyone know if game saves are stored on the system or carts themselves? Or if there's a way to save from the cart to the system?

 

[Seik]

Tomorrow at 7AM me and a friend will be waiting in front of the mall to get one!

With all those Zelda reviews, man, I gotta admit that my hype is through the fucking roof!

 

[Ran Ran]

Incase anybody wants to get a Switch online tonight...

Assuming you live in a Amazon Prime Now area

 

[ekim]

Is the EU eShop not live yet? I made an account and it just gives me a white screen with no games.

Nope. I only see games in the upcoming section.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

Got an email today that my Switch is on it's way! I already got Breath of the Wild today!

Mr. Iwata, I hope you are somewhere watching as your ideas and concepts make the World smile once again <3

Thank you.

Game saves are always on the system. The carts are read only.

 

[guek]

Man, I want those Amiibos. Maybe if I see any available tonight at midnight. Surely Best Buy will have some in stock, right?

 

[Big Papa Husker]

got mine all set up

How'd you get yours before midnight?

 

[Ryoku]

(MD)
Amazon teasing me. I don't actually know if it'll arrive today. It'd be awesome if it did. But I can't enjoy it until Tuesday... Busy weekend

EDIT: Just delivered. Wtf.

 

[Marvie_3]

Picking mine up tonight at midnight. Cant wait to get home and play Zelda.

 

[bomblord1]

How'd you get yours before midnight?

Probably bought a stolen shipment

 

[Jerm411]

I can't believe we're finally here brehs....I still remember hearing the buzz about "Nintendo NX" back when it was announced and now it's time.....

 

[PunjabiPlaya]

Game saves are always on the system. The carts are read only.

Ahh cool, thanks for the response. Idk what's going on with my order for Zelda and it's apparently not shipping until Tuesday next week, so I may be doing an impulse buy when I go to pick up the system from best buy later.

 

[Pinky]

Shipping confirmation and tracking# just arrived. Should be here Monday. Arrgghhh!! The wait is killing me!

 

[Orin GA]

Guys, i may not be getting my switch on Friday. Can you hold up on playing zelda until I get mine. Thx!

 

[Octavianus]

Got an email today that my Switch is on it's way! I already got Breath of the Wild today!

Mr. Iwata, I hope you are somewhere watching as your ideas and concepts make the World smile once again <3



Thank you.

It's really too bad he never got to see how well BOTW is being recieved so far.

 

[Blunoise]

we almost there!

 

[tolkir]

It's happening.

 

[The_Lump]

How'd you get yours before midnight?

Friend of mine lives literally 4 doors down. Ordered same day from Amazon, I'm Prime and he's not.

He is currently playing Zelda. I'm at work watching my Royal Mail tracking finally tick over to "On its Way".

Grrr.

 

[PinballRJ]

How'd you get yours before midnight?

Best Buy always ships fast and early

 

[TheLastCandle]

Can't wait to pick mine up at midnight. Those Zelda scores are unfuckingbelievable.

 

[dancrane212]

Went from being against getting it at launch after watching the full unveiling live with folk here but aggressive preorder trade-in promos in Canada got me to buy into it. Looking forward to putting the console and pro controller through the paces this weekend.

That is if Amazon gets me Zelda tomorrow...

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Are you able to buy games off the shop without a console? Id like to build my library before I get the system

 

[Persona7]

Hopefully Walmart won't be too bad when I go at 6AM to get a pro controller.

 

[Ryoku]

Yeah.... Amazon delivered Zelda and my Switch early. Um... Yay

 

[Cloudius12]

Version 2.0.0 update took me 3-4 minutes to update.

 

[whyman]

Only 6 more hours until I have it in my hands. Sometimes it's good to live in Europe. Hyyyyype

 

[Slaythe]

Make or break my purchase :

how long does Zelda last in portable mode ?

I'm not really interested into playing the console in console mode.

 

[im_dany]

This may be a really dumb question but I haven't followed it much and can't wait to have it in my hands, but both me and my brother will share it. We can have two separate profiles with two separate saves for each game (cartridge and digital), right? My digital purchases will work with his profile on the same Switch, right?

Only 14 hours until I can go to my store, can't wait. Switch, Zelda, 1-2-Switch, and maybe a travel case.

 

[Yogg]

Can someone confirm/infirm whether the dock can be set horizontally rather than standing vertically like it's always shown ?

The cable management cover seems perfect for that, but I haven't seen this aspect mentioned.

 

[NSESN]

So any update about the joycons?

 

[unrealist]

Nintendo seems to be sending out Switches to bloggers / vloggers too, probably a good way for social media exposure.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxjXo_AQFfo

This iJustine seems rather popular with 3million subs and done 3 videos on it, mostly positive stuff. She appeared on my YouTube feed (there are tons, omg how do I stop it because I am afraid of spoilers).

 

[Ryoku]

One day early. Fuuuccckkkk

 

[Slaythe]

Guys I'm trying to have a reason to be unreasonable to please answer.

 

[10k]

Almost two years to the day Iwata name dropped NX. It's finally here fam!

 

[vgamer1]

Make or break my purchase :

I'm not really interested into playing the console in console mode.

Roughly three hours.

 

[Cloudius12]

Pro controller not compatible with SnipperClips demo

No. And I wouldn't do that if I were you.

 

[Slaythe]

Roughly three hours.

Are there portable chargers accessories or stuff like that ? Or can you replace the battery on the fly ?

 

[Kimawolf]

Got my gamestop emails. Will be here tomorrow between 11 and 3 pm. Cant wait.

 

[Atheerios]

You seem to don't know anything about the Switch at all. I suggest to watch the presentation.

The battery is non-removable but you can use any USB-C power bank
