Nintendo SWITCH(NX) Information - March 3, 2017

[Katlan]

Yeah I gave into the hype originally and ordered a switch, but best buy did me a huge favor and aren't shipping until friday and I've talked myself out of it for now, just gonna cancel and pick up zelda for wii u instead. Just not enough reason to own one at this point, and even if the wii u version runs a little bit worse there is always CEMU which will run better than the switch anyway.

This, combined with the fact that reviews are coming out and they are less than stellar about the hardware

What're people's plans to pick one up with no pre-order? I'm torn between best buy, target and walmart. None are doing midnight release by me.

His comment about the kickstand being flimsy is something people might complain about until they realize it was made to be flexible and snap off in case someone accidentally docks the switch with the kickstand out. That was one of my biggest concerns until I learned that it clips back on.

Reports are that the Day One update fixes the Joycon "desync" issue, but you may have to reboot with the joycon attached to the system: https://twitter.com/arepty/status/837326005815689216

Wow i honestly didn't expect that to be fixed in that fashion. Also kas enjoy your title. Now since i owe ya you'll never be broke.

[Kaslo]

Haha I can't even remember what its from lol

[Kirin]

Thats good to know that the JoyCons can essentially take on firmware updates. Could avoid issues like the Wiimote to Wiimote Plus.

[Ratatapa]

So my neon switch from amazon will only ship on march 6 to receive 7-8

My grey one from Best Buy I'll get it MINIMUM march 9

At least I have one neon saved at microplay for tomorrow

[Salodin]

You flipping those rata?

[Ratatapa]

You flipping those rata?

Maybe or just return them dunno at first I had a lot of preorders just in case some fails.


Also saves games as of today are on the console itself and can't be transferred even on sd cards

So apparently Friend Codes are still a thing? Despite Nintendo directly saying otherwise

I think its another way of finding people.

I might swing by best buy and if the line is crazy I won't do it. Target is 8am and can't do that and I am now seeing walmart and gamestop are doing it... all of those stores are very close and I might grab one, but I'm not sure if I want the gray or the red/blue.

[Boyiee]

Just called walmart, think I'll do that. They'll have two lines inside the store one for pre-orders and one for non. Seems like the best and least obvious bet, bestbuy will prob be mobbed. Plus, walmart I can be warm and eat chips or something in line.

So that just means children wont put them in their mouths but almost every adult now will.

Jesus Nintendo, just stop making consoles already.

Edit: I was confused when a package arrived at the door because I know I didn't buy anything recently and it wasn't Friday. Who cares!!!!
