Macintosh HD posted:My GameStop is the only one in the area not opening at midnight. Same. On the plus side, I work right next to it, so I can slip out around 10 for my break, pick mine up, and wander back. I'm hoping the big lines end up at the stores doing midnight events and this one is more mellow so I'm not waiting for an hour. Still way nicer than when I camped out in the cold overnight for the Wii. Baldrash fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Mar 3, 2017 |

Zelda BOTW is incredible you guys. Just spent hours doing absolutely nothing and had an absolute blast. All the little things about this game are just going to blow your mind once you get your hands on it. The spirit of wonder and exploration is back. My god is it back Will post a 1-2-Switch trip report as well later, as my Niece was over and we played through all 28 games. For now tho, I need sleeep

Seeing people talking about how easily the screen scratches. What gives? I don't think I've been able to scratch any mobile tablet or device since the first iPhone.

Amazon release day shipping: Not actually release day. They sent the Switch via FedEx, which never, ever delivers to my house (it's at the top of a hill and they don't want to go up the driveway) so I won't actually get it until Monday most likely.

The GameStop I'm at has a gang of six kids who showed up at 9am for the walk-in units. Also most of the accessories have been pushed back. The charging grip is not coming out till the end of the month.

Will the VC stuff coexist with on the 3DS and WiiU? Will it support all the games that both of them do or some new set all together?

Honest question, how long does it take to download the day 1 patch for the console and Zelda? I just want to get into this ASAP and decides if I sleep tonight or not Also got an email from my gamestop saying they wouldn't do a midnight release but when I called they said they totally would so who should I believe

Just a heads up https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/5x71ym/psa_nintendo_switch_uses_usb_pd_power_delivery/ According to this, the Nintendo Switch is confirmed to implement the USB Power Delivery specification. Keep that in mind when looking for 3rd party chargers. USB PD is NOT Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 or 3.0. USB PD is its own standard, most commonly found in Google's Pixel phones and, iirc, some Macbooks. e: I should also mention that, afaik, USB PD is a standard only supported over USB C, as well. USB A > C cables and USB A chargers/batteries do not implement USB PD on those ports. PerrineClostermann fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Mar 3, 2017 |

Calaveron posted:Honest question, how long does it take to download the day 1 patch for the console and Zelda? I just want to get into this ASAP and decides if I sleep tonight or not It's tiny, took a minute or so. I suspect it just flicked a few software flags to turn things on. The Zelda one took about 5 minutes or so. Played Zelda for an hour over my lunch break and it used about 27% battery, and I'm back up to 91% after about 20 minutes of charging. Pretty happy with it so far. The game is loving amazing and I can't wait till I get home from soccer tonight to play some more . Only tried with the joycons as I can't be bothered to connect my Pro Controller while I'm at work. They were pretty comfortable for an hour session but I can see if you have giant hands they would be a little cramped. I put on one of the joycon strap things and had trouble getting it off again; looking online I'm not alone at being gimpy.

Went to get my pre-ring done so I can get in and out super fast at Gamestop. At 6pm there was a huge line of people even though the store only has 8 consoles and one dude in a truck was basically doing doughnuts while screaming "I'LL GIVE 100 BUCKS TO WHOEVER GIVES ME THEIR SPOT IN LINE." Can't wait to go up there in a couple hours again and see if anythings changed!!

Nintendo (twice): yeah mate you'll definitely get it release day it's being sent via next day delivery courier it's cool My package: on the other end of the country at 3:30am the day of release, going through Royal Mail. I'm exceedingly excited for this console, but....ever feel like you've been cheated?

I wish I could SWITCH my work needs around enough to have more time for video games. But with any luck I'll be picking one of these bad boys up by year's end.

How is demand so far? I am debating swinging by Target (opens 8am) on my way to work to pick one up. I suppose I'm willing to wait a short while, but there's no way I'm lining up at like 5am. Those of you planning on buying at midnight, how are the lines? Are there even lines at all?

Semi-trip report: The slack-jawed idiot at Gamestop yesterday wasn't sure how many Switches were coming in, or how many were pre-ordered so I'll just assume that's a no-go. The girl at Fry's said about 40 people took vouchers for the midnight launch, and about 15 people were in line in front so I'm guessing the people with vouchers hosed off until midnight (this is on the west coast). They were also doing pre-orders so I'm not sure how that works in conjunction with the vouchers, but she implied all the Switches were pretty much accounted for.

Good luck brave goons out there getting your Switches. Maybe someday I'll do a midnight launch for a console. Then I will be a true gamer.
