Well, in the UK, I haven't seen a single one in the wild. So, I'm not sure it's really 'made it.'

I play my switch on the met line all the time!

 

[The Elite]

I have seen it about 3 to 4 times on the Toronto subway. I am too scared to do it myself.

I saw a woman recently dressed in all black and gold. She pulled out a GBA SP that was also in all black and gold and proceeded to play a Mario game on it. That was stylish as fuck.

 

[Hispanicguy]

Nothing wrong with this.

I use my Switch on the subway all the time. I need to grind Disgaea 5 any chance I get, lol.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Did u ask if she was off to a rooftop party?

 

[RionaaM]

I haven't seen anyone using a Switch here. Which makes sense, buying it locally is expensive as hell, and using it in public would probably end with the console being stolen.

I wouldn't use mine outside. Almost got my 3DS stolen in the bus once, no way I'm risking the Switch.

 

[Instro]

If you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere.

 

[neilyadig]

I've actually seen many PSPs and multiple Vitas being played on the NYC subway over the years. Of course I have also seen many 3DS. You aren't looking around...

Now that I'm in SF, I have seen Switches on BART a total of 4 times. Plenty of 3DS action too.

Yo, why that? I play on the train all the time and also did with my 2DS

 

[CambriaRising]

10 million people in the city and someone else had a switch. Yes. Truly made it.

 

[nynt9]

I've seen people playing pretty much every handheld system on public transport, and I'm not even in NYC. How have you never seen this before?

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

Was this the girl?

 

[Nategc20]

Saw a guy play Switch the other day in the same train, sat right next to him, saw he was playing Mario Kart, I pulled out my Switch and asked if he wants to play a round or two.

He packed his Switch in his bag, stood up and went away. Saw him sitting on the stairs when I left the train, still playing Mario Kart.

Now this is thread worthy.

 

[nynt9]

Also, "we readily agreed that having weapons break after 1 hit was totally the right way to go, and we hoped every other game incorporated that mechanic going forward."

what the actual fuck, this story is clearly fake

 

[wetalo]

I see handhelds on Montreal transit all the time. =/

I have a similar story, but with a cool happy ending. I was waiting for the bus, and there was a woman waiting next to me. As the bus arrives, she pulls her Vita out of her pocket.

I, in response, pulled my Vita out of my pocket. I sit on the bus, she sits next to me. She's playing Persona 4, I'm playing Super Time Force Ultra. After a few awkward minutes she says "So what games you got?"

So now we start talking and showing each other what games we have installed on our Vitas. She asks me if I played Arkham Origins Blackgate mentioning that she worked on it a bit.

I tell her I played Arkham Origins but not Blackgate, and she told me she worked as a programmer on Origins. She's a dev at WB. Super cool trip, I even stayed on for a few extra stops to keep talking with her. =)

 

[Woffls]

I have played mine on National Rail and Eurostar a few times, but it's not really worth taking on the Northern line for the 15 mins I spend on it (probably standing) each way.

 

[dickroach]

good on you for not pointing at them and yelling "DOOMED!"
that woulda caused a scene

 

[nynt9]

Forgot to add: "... and that girl's name was Albert Einstein"

stealth brag thread

 

[spekkeh]

Never saw anyone play Switch on my commute yet (outside of seeing my reflection in the window). I've had tons of rubbernecking and girls squeeing when I whipped it out though.

 

[smokeymicpot]

I flew last week and I brought mine on the flight. Was pretty sweet to play Mario Kart while flying.

Are you still talking about your Switch or your "average gaffer"-sized equipment?

 

[Pics_nao]

I see them all the time. Even one loser friend of mine brought his with him when we went bar hopping

Well duh... ain't no place Karen wouldn't take her Switch!

Lol

You must be fun to hang around with.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

ALready saw people twice playing the Switch, one at a store waiting for his wife/gf to finish with trying on clothes and on the subway in Toronto.

If he's a loser for bringing a system along, does that make you a loser for shitposting about him in a gaming forum behind his back?

 

[The Elite]

Yo, why that? I play on the train all the time and also did with my 2DS

Just fear of someone wanting to take away my new shiny toy. It's probably unwarranted. I saw two little kids playing Switch on the subway. One was holding the screen while the other used the joycon.

 

[antibolo]

Oh man we're all failures as gamers compared to that guy

 

[rtcn63]

I saw a girl playing the Nintendo Switch.

A girl.

I saw your face
In a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'll never Switch with you

 

[Mariolee]

Underrated post. I could totally imagine this happening to me.

 

[tbm24]

I've seen a switch in the subway 6 different times by now. I bet I'll see it a lot more once there are more games our there. Every time they were playing Zelda. I wasn't surprised, once sat next to 3 guys playing mvc3 on vita, 2 against each other and the third against the CPU warming up.

I played majority of Pokemon sun on my morning and afternoon commute.

He browses here too. I even told him he's a loser lmao

 

[Peterthumpa]

Went from Brisbane to Sydney last week and literally saw 3 guys with a Switch waiting for their planes, plus 2 guys with Switches inside mine.

Nintendo really did it again.

 

[I am Christina Aguilera]

During my daily commute here in NYC the last 234 years,

OP, you are older than Link

 

[NimbusD]

I play my switch all the time on the subway. That's 90 percent of the reason I got it day 1.

That said, I've only seen 1 other person play it, but to be fair they did the notice me sitting across from them also playing so it's possible I didn't see other people.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

A girl came up to me after she same me playing my switch. We talked about zelda and exchanged friend codes.

 

[commish]

I've had tons of rubbernecking and girls squeeing when I whipped it out though.

I'm not sure I know what "squeeing" is, but I like to think you got lucky that night.

 

[Jiguryo]

I was visiting San Francisco last month and was also taken by surprise when I saw this group of guys walking down Market St. and one of them had earphones on and he was playing Switch.

 

[Lelou]

i play the switch on the subway without the joycon.

I found it to be great on the portability side without them..

And voez is too much addicting

 

[djSyndrome]

See on average one a day in each direction on the Sounder (Seattle commuter train). Haven't had the guts to take mine out of the house yet.

 

[Greenymac]

stop people watching on the train, my guy

that's like a request to get timbs shoved up your ass, real talk B

I heard this in Desus and Meros voices if you know who those guys are....LOL

at least it wasn't a girl

 

[Chessr]

When I last went to Tokyo I heard someone playing Zelda BOTW on the plane.
I knew exactly who it was , it was the chunky guy with cargo shorts, big walking boots and a destiny T-Shitt. He also had shiny black died hair on a ponytail.

About 30% of the westerners in Tokyo look like this.

When was that if i may ask ?

 

[Tecnniqe]

10 million people in the city and someone else had a switch. Yes. Truly made it.

That is indeed the take.

I'm patiently awaiting the "Switch cured my diabetes" thread.

That sucks. You were probably having visions of playing impromptu games of MK8 in the park or on a rooftop.

 

[spekkeh]

Are you still talking about your Switch or your "average gaffer"-sized equipment?

Isn't that how we all secretly measure our equipment? From the left to the right joycon?

I'm not sure I know what "squeeing" is, but I like to think you got lucky that night.

Yes that night I used up some mushrooms I had saved and came first.

 

[Crayon]

Theres my dude.

 

[Seik]

Oh wow!

That said, the 360 was a success.

THIS IS A SIGN!!! :O

 

[boiled goose]

Play 3ds all the time on bus and subway
