After the 6th fuckup with things I've pre-ordered from BestBuy, I buy from Amazon for the discount. If I am super impatient I will go to Gamestop. Assuming you are in the US and care about saving money, it's either BestBuy or Amazon. Gamestop's rewards program for buying new games is poo poo, but it's usually where I trade everything in.

Edit: It's all anecdotal obviously, but I've never had a video game delivered late from Amazon. Other things I order from them come late all the time even though they say "guaranteed delivery date". I ordered a new mouse that was supposed to be delivered today... the tracking info says it was out for delivery at 7pm... yea ok.

If you have a guaranteed date they will give you like 5 bux if you complain in a customer service chat

Do you think 64gb is enough for the short term (think about a year)? I'm getting a Switch this week and still deciding whether to go up to 128gb which is more than double the price of a 64gb card.

My 64GB card is half-full and I haven't put any software on internal memory yet. It'd probably be fine if you were getting the bigger single-player titles on cartridges (e.g. Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey). Most of the third-party titles on this console currently are in the neighborhood of 1 GB.

You could probably just stick with internal storage for a few months depending on what titles you're looking to snap up and how many you intend to get digitally.

Just picked up a Samsung Evo 128 for like $44. While double the price, it'll probably be the only SD card I'll ever need for the switch. It's still pretty drat cheap regardless. I guess if the additional $22 is a deal breaker, go with 64. It'd still take a while to fill up both the system and sd memory anyway, given the generally small game sizes.

I won't be getting BotW since I played that on Wii U, I do want to have stuff I'll want to play all the time like Splatoon, Mario Kart, Fifa etc digitally but single player stuff I'll probably get on cartridge. It's just a shame to go to smaller memory cards after having my giant external hard drive attacked to the Wuu.

I appreciate Skyrim at 720 30fps in handheld mode but if it's not 1080 undocked I'll probably skip it. Not holding my breath for 60fps though.

Uh you do know the screen on the switch is only 720p anyway right?

My favorite part of Skyrim was when the physics engine had a seizure before I capped frames to 60.

The only real problem with amiibo is their scarcity.

I guess if you need to scan a bunch while on the go it does detract from the portability of Switch, too.





I'd prefer all amiibo stuff to be both on amiibo and purchasable DLC

This makes me want to hold off on playing the game until after all of the DLC is out. With a game as short as this appears to be, I feel like getting back into it for DLC will be rough even if it is good.

Question, Is Fate Extella any good, or is it mostly good as an anime girl delivery system, and if it's actually good on its own merits are the levels of anime girl high enough that I'd be embarrassed to play the game on an actual TV while my wife is home?

Because the results of every search I've done for information on this game have been extremely anime-girl-heavy, let me tell you
