But that's not a like a "Hey, please pre-order our console". It's more of a convenience for anyone who might be sold.  But maybe that's a moot difference.

I have a dentist appoint at 10:30 on launch day.  I had to push it back from today because I'm traveling for work.  I'll be using that as an excuse to take the day off.  Hopefully I'll have time to pick up my preorder, so I can start Zelda-ing while I sit in the wait room.

Update: The Best Buy I preordered from isn't doing a midnight launch and opens at 10. :^/

Maybe they'll open early for the launch.  Or maybe I'll just have to be late for my dentist appointment.  I guess I could just wait until after.

Target probably loves Switch. That dog in the background might as well be for Nintendogs.

They just added a few vids on youtube that show people HAVING FUN. with MULTIPLAYER. Get ready to party like it's 2006:


There are 28 games in 1-2-Switch, which is over 5x what Wii Sports had. so, yay?



I still think the voiceover needed to emphasize straight up that "it's a console. and a handheld. in one." No one seemed to understand the Wii U controller for some reason.

I'm starting to think we're all jaded and we'll be at some party and 1-2 Switch will be at the center.

Never underestimate party ****. I play board games regularly.

Two weeks to go...


Current concern is with Micro SD cards. 64gb is dirt cheap but too small, 128gb is a little pricey but a decent size, 200gb is perhaps too expensive but will last a good couple of years at least. Hmmm, leaning towards the 128, I think...

Keep an eye on sales for the 200 GB cards. Newegg had them for $50 at one point late last year, and I bought one then specifically for this purpose.

While I don't see 1-2-Switch being meaty enough to last long at a party, it would be nice to see some board game styles as low cost digital titles.  With just the Switch, you have a screen and two wireless "buzzers," which is more than enough for games like Taboo.

13 days...

That is crazy cheap compared to what I'm looking at here in the UK at the mo. Just having a quick look on Amazon a 128gb card will set me back at least £35 (not too bad), then I'm looking at £75 for a 200gb and £110 if I wanted to go as high as 256gb.
Is there any sort of brand recommended over another? I would assume the difference in performance between cards would be minimal?

One week people! And I've found out I'm not in work until 17:00 on the 3rd so that's all good. I take it everyone's heard the news about there being no VC at launch? Not ideal, but hopefully it won't be too much of a long wait. It does mean that I'm paying well over £300 to play a game that I could've just as easily played on the Wii U for £40 though. But c'mon, the Wii U? What is this? 2012?

Mine was just shipped from Walmart and somehow says it will arrive tomorrow (I didn't pay extra for shipping).  Don't give up hope.

Ta-flippin'-da!







Oh, and that's not just a Zelda double-dip. Both of those bad boys are staying factory sealed. I've got it downloading on the Switch right now. That's right. It's a launch day triple dip.


Just to quickly add, firstly this thing is a lot smaller than I was expecting, and secondly, it is seriously awesome. I'm already in love with it.

Switch looks really cool. Here's hoping it sells well and actually gets some third party software support - although I'm not  holding my breath on that second point.
