Nintendo Switch

PlayStation and Xbox giving praise.

Our relationship with Nintendo is great…they’ve done some really innovative work. I love the hardware design. Anytime Nintendo brings a new product to the gaming market it’s good for all of us.

I just payed off my Switch and got my number. I'm #16 in line to get it at midnight

Zelda's embargo has been lifted, as it is currently at 98 on Metacritic. Just to compare, the only two games in the last decade that have done that feat, is Soulcaliber, GTAIV, and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2.

It's also VERY possible that it can join Ocarina's side on the fabled 99 ranking.

This game, will do gangbusters.

This pic says it all.

Mines just come through and I'll guarantee that you'll all be saying the same thing I did when you first lift the lid - WOAH, IT'S TINY!!

Scored one this morning at Walmart. The Walmart on my way in to work is in a not so nice area of town and so happens not to be a 24 hour store. Strolled up about quest to 6 when they open and not a sole in line. Ended up being first in line with about 5 other people showing up for one, think they had about 12 units available. Had to get Zelda and bought 1 2 Switch as well.

That was my first though upon unboxing. Feels good in my hands though

One feature I've discovered on my own is that if my TV is off and I put my Switch in the dock it automatically turns my TV on. This is something I've never seen happen with anything else I own.

I've had an amazing day with the system! It has really impressed me, and has met my expectations!

 

[Mike S]

Nice.

Played Zelda for about an hour and really enjoyed it. My kids are playing 1 2 Switch and having fun now but kind of sucks knowing I paid $50 for it, don't think it was worth that much.

 

[Mike S]

I would play Zelda but right now we're all having an NES Classic marathon

Having lots of fun playing Snipperclips with my wife (who's not really much of a gamer), can definitely recommend the full game if you like the demo.

My Apple TV has such a feature as well, quite handy.

It's not every-time, but the XBOX One does that for me too.

How was the experience of playing the Switch on the go?

Anyone having issues with it docked and getting a signal to your tv?

Not me.

You're having trouble?

 

[Hockeyman55]

Yeah keeps having issues one dock trying to get an HDMI signal on the Tv. Spent 1o min wiggling wires to get it to finally work. Plugged and unplugged both ends of the hdmi multiple times

Sorry to hear that.

Sadly it sometimes comes with the territory of getting a new console day 1.
