You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.

I've been playing Zelda about 8 hours and it really is amazing. Shovel Knight on Switch is great as well. Happy I got to snag a pro controller. I love my Switch.

This just costed me 400 bucks.


I drove by that Best Buy a couple hours before midnight last night, and saw about 80-100 people in line, and so I left. The building and parking lot was completely dark.

After I read that message and went into BB, someone said there was a power outage last night and they werent able to sell all the consoles as a result.

There were about 14 consoles left after I got mine an hour ago. Though I ended up having to go back to BB 20 minutes later, they still had a small stack of consoles, and nobody in line.

gently caress that one is so close to my house but i told my gf not to let me get one. So if I bring one home she'll be pissed.

Hori update

Played Zelda for 3 hours straight docked. Hori screen protector looks good as new. My switch didnt feel hot at all.

Maybe some are not cooling properly? Someone in thread said there's got real hot. Louisgod maybe?

Is there a way to connect a lanyard to the screen like the lanyard that connects to the joy cons when they're independent? I really don't want to drop this expensive thing.

Holy poo poo zelda is so good. The console itself is loving amazing for a handheld, and I can't wait for nintendo to kill the 3ds and capcom start making Monster Hunter games for this.

The joycons are actually perfect for me, but I'm short and have tiny hands so. I guess I lucked out on the genepool there. :unsmith:

Oh poo poo right, I was looking for a screenguard cause the ones at the store were poo poo. Hori seems a good bet but I saw these tempered glass ones by orzly. Anybody try those?

Mine still says preparing for shipping so you're doing better than I am. If this doesn't arrive today then it probably won't arrive until Monday and I'll have wasted vacation time. Though I could call in and decide to work I guess.

Well hopefully I remember to ask about it/check the thread when you eventully do get it.

Until then I'm not going to be docking it. Don't care if it won't get scratched, not taking any chances.

Finally got my HORI screen protector.

It's a loving POS. Not at all like other ones. They usually have a tab to stick to the screen so you can get things lined up. Then a split backing and then a top layer.

This one: just two backings, one is about 15% of the thing the other 85%. Nothing to get it centered. Just an absolute piece of trash. Going to send it back for a refund.

The strange thing is that the youtube vid about the protector is just like the normal ones. I seriously don't get this.

You're getting a lot of hardware for $300. Thats all I gotta say. A 32GB iPod Touch is $250. The 3DS and Vita were $250 when they launched.

Comparing the switch pricing to an apple product is apt

Even funnier you threw the 3ds in there since it was so poorly priced it got its price cut by 1/3 in 6 months

Mine was not like that at all. Did you get the cheap on or expensive one? I got the dust tabs. The back was 50/50.

So it costs more than the entry level product of a notoriously highly-priced brand and a paid of handhelds that either took a platform-salvaging price cut (3DS) or failed.

But you get a plastic shell to put the console in and another plastic shell to put the joycons in, a $130 "value," so that's great. Great deal. Tremendous.

Does anyone know if the eShop DRM is any softer than it was on Wii/WiiU/3DS? I don't want to spend a lot on it if it's locked to one console again.

Also why the gently caress does Nintendo give devs the option to block use of their $70 pro controller?

They had Nintendo Network on 3DS and Wii U for years where everything was tied to an account.

I got the cheaper one and it had the adhesive on the back. It actually screwed up my application a little when I was pulling the tab, but I was able to fix it and it looks great.

Yes, but they only deliver on weekdays as far as I know. If your delivery date is Monday, like mine is, you're likely to see your package move from the regional distribution center to the closest UPS office to your house tomorrow. They might deliver it Monday morning depending on how their schedule is.

I do want to note that the Switch is essentially the PSP. Home console-quality games/horsepower with convenient TV output. And I loved the PSP.
