Official Thread The Switch Thread

The app is downloadable now, it is terrible.........Nintendo is extremely out of touch.
 
Ya, not a fan of the app. Stupid requirements leads to stupid implementation.
 
You almost get the feeling that Nintendo purposely botches online because that's how much they care about it, lol.
 
Working from home this morning so going to swing by Best Buy when they open and see if I can grab one. Thought about trying Target first since they open at 8 but meh.
 
Yep I was able to grab the neon console today. Got there right at 10 and only noticed one other person buying one while I was there. They had them in back still so not sure how many they had. Only grabbed Splatoon 2 for now. Walked right past a damn stack of amiibo but forgot Bayonetta released today so didn't even pay attention. Haven't purchased one in like a year now and was hoping to stop... but Bayonetta :ylove:

Alright. I told myself if I ever happened upon one and found one in stock and I had the money sitting in my pocket, that I'd buy one.

Just charged it up, made my account and all that jazz.

Now I need to buy some games.

Welcome. Zelda, MK8, and Splatoon 2 say hi as well.

If you don't feel like buying a bunch of games yet just get Zelda. That will keep you busy for months if you let it.

Went with Zelda and Splatoon 2 for now. Holy s*** everything is maximum price.

How are you guys with internet speed? I seem to be getting about 1/5th of my normal bandwidth, is that normal or does this thing have low range? I'm about 8-10ft from my router on the 5Ghz.

I was critical of the Switch and I am a believer now. I have had it for a few months and love the system. It actually ignited my love in all things Nintendo and I spent over a month playing through the Metroid series again on my wii u. Since I have gotten the system I haven't touched my ps4 and only touched my xbox one for youtube and Netflix. I even completely missed the destiny beta because of Splatoon 2. I have no idea how I could have let the first one pass me by! I am strongly considering buying that now too so at any given time at least two of the three in our household can be playing Splatoon.

I had the same feeling with the Wii U. I hadn't touched a Nintendo console since the SNES until the Wii came out, but sold it after a couple months. The Wii U though got me back into Nintendo and I'm loving the Switch just as much.

You got that willpower. N64 and GameCube were amazing, good thing you can just download the games on a Wii or Wii U and play them now. I prefer to hook my GameCube up with the $200 component cable i got on eBay to play the games though, lol. Yeah, i go all out.
