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.

The only midnight launch I've been to was GTA 4, and that was only because I found out about it at about 11pm, so a buddy and I went "gently caress it" and waited in line for about a half hour. It was pretty uneventful.

The Fry's down the street from me sold out 80~ switches on the first day, and almost completely sold out everything else as well, the only things left were a few copies of Bomberman and Let's Dance, and a single pair of grey Joy Cons Probably a good thing, I likely would've left with one

FireMrshlBill posted:What! No one buys a system for Mario Kart! Whats next, you going to tell me that if you don't get the system by the time Mario Kart comes out, that Splatoon 2 may give you a push to buy a system with one of the highest critically esteemed Zelda's and a Mario Kart that is arguably considered the best with even more improvements? Nope, not buying it. If Zelda didn't sell you on the system at launch, then nothing will until Mario Odyssey during the holiday season.... Anecdotally, I know a few people personally who are waiting for some game or another to drop before getting a Switch It'll be dope when we eventually all have our own to LAN with

It might just be wishful thinking but it seems like most of the Switch's problems are software based and can hopefully be ironed out easily enough Not having a Switch kinda sucks but waiting for the problems to be fixed makes the wait slightly better

It looks like Splatoon dropped with five maps, then got another map a whopping whole four days later, then two more nine days later... I've never played Splatoon but getting a steady trickle of maps every 10 days or so and ending with about sixteen maps overall sounds more than reasonable

Trip report: I GOT ONE Stopped at a Gamespot on the way home, and of course they didn't get any in and "comeback tomorrow maybe." I then stopped at Walmart on a complete whim, saw they had a few in the glass case HOLY poo poo. I had my dock behind my TV slightly and got crazy bad synch problems, now I have it next to the TV and only get slight desynch if I hold the left Joy-Con behind my back. Alright Zelda's done updating, later

Motherfuck, I somehow managed to put my Switch in the dock wrong and it wasn't charging all day. Hopefully a half hour charge gives me enough time for the demo.

Good points, now that I think about it the Battlefront demo was really fun but convinced there probably wasn't too much more to the game Andrast posted:The effect of betas/demos on sales really depends on the game. The Tony Hawk demo came to mind for me, that must've been some of the best marketing in video game history
