have some extra gamestop credit and a giftcard, do i spend it on bomberman or get the pro controller? mario kart, super mario and zelda are already paid in full

[Bladebruh]

If you have a frys near you. They're doing a midnight release. I would recommend going there for the fact it's a forgotten store that plays video games.

I hit up Wally World at like 11:55. Got in line. They had 14 available.....I was 15th. FML.

My buddy went to check out best buy to lol @ the line....it's around the building. At least 75 people. He investigated and they only have 25 available. The rest of the people are waiting overnight in 30 degrees for another shipment tomorrow morning. Lmao the hype is real brehs...

[rocketfish]

Got mine easy, within 4 or 5 minutes after midnight. the gamestop i preordered from did it legit. Had people in order based on first person to preorder first to the last. I was #5 and got in and out quickly. No one else was allowed in line that was just purchasing the game only (wii u people) they had to wait in a different line.



bestbuy wtf at the lines
I have a pro controller pre ordered at bestbuy because the gamestop I got the switch from apparently didn't get much pro controllers, but bestbuy has like a billion of them. I drove to bestbuy at 12:30 and the line was wrapped around the building. I was like fuk dat i'm getting it tomorrow after work.

2 questions:

Is Zelda a reason you MUST buy the Switch or OKAY to wait until Holiday 2017?

Are all online features active now? I.e. Store, online play, etc.

Full online capabilities won't be available until Fall 2017

Grabbed one no preorder this morning at a Fred Meyer (kroger). Probably like 25 people in line when I got there at 6:30. They had 35.

FYI: If you are unlucky enough to get the Orange Screen of Death, some people are finding that holding the power button down for 1 minute+, allows them to reset the system.

No fix yet for people with Blue Screen of Death.

Haven't even turned mine on yet as I had to go to work. Has this been a big issue?

[MrGreenTea]

IT HAS ARRIVED! Today is a good day.

[rocketfish]

^^ Nice, system is incredibly tiny! But it is really nice.

I played about an hour of zelda last night, still at the start of the game =/ Fukin getting murdered out there.

The joycons on the grip is a lot better than what I expected (i have smaller hands). Still getting used to the controls, my pro controller is at bestbuy waiting for me. I went last night to it, but the line was wrapped around the building, not worth it!

IMO, use the joycons with and without grip and see if its something you can adapt to. If not, get the pro controller.

[jamesbwbevis]

enjoying it brahs, really cool console and of course zelda

the joy con grip is working fine for me, pro controller not even close to worth it.

Also, is the screen of death a big problem? fuark hope its not mine turn

[mTm]

Make sure you boyo's get a screen protector.

The culprit? Sliding it in and out of the hard plastic dock. If you gently slide it in and "miss" the USB-C prong, juggling the device into the slot (even carefully) eventually scrapes it against the hard insides of the dock, resulting in little hairline scratches that start to build up over time.

^repped. anyone who preordered the charge grip return it for the pro controller? having second thoughts, was not as i was told or expected

[Bladebruh]

Toys r us opened at 10. Got there at 945 was the 6th person in line and they had about 15. For the people that have not got one yet. The employee said that they are getting 15 more in by Sunday

[Axew]

My switch is out for shipping right now. No work/school obligations at all today/tomorrow, can't wait to grind Breath of the Wild.

[storchskr]

FYI: Buy a screen protector ASAP.

Apparently the switch has a plastic screen, not glass, and the dock can scratch it when docking/undocking.

apparently the nintendo one sucks and the $20 aftermarket "official nintendo" one peels off after a few minutes being docked due to the heat

I found a switch this afternoon when I went grocery shopping at fred meyer. first place I looked. didn't buy though. I'm waiting to see how sales pan out. I was a wii u early adoptor and I got burned harder than a disabled jew in a nazi oven.

ouch, i did not get burned at all, i got it refurb for $200 direct from nintendo, then traded it in at $195 for the switch

yeah that's some hng. early adoption though will have you waiting g for true sequels. you'll wait another 5 6 years for another zelda and mario kart 9 probably won't be released on the comsole. you're getting mario kart 8 done the rifht way and that's it. Mario is hng though. I'll probably buy a switch in november. the difference between the wii u zelda abd switch isn't all that much

[GhenghisPWN]

Is this worth buyinh just for Zelda right now? If not buying a PS4 Pro tonight god damnit.

You are on the fence too much! I don't think the switch will make you happy after zelda, you seem like you would be more happy with the switch during christmas after more titles come out.

My advice, get the ps4 -> christmas switchmas

I always struggle with what console to buy. Thanks man.

[jamesbwbevis]

Whats the verdict on the blue/orange screen of death. do we know if its common or just a normal fail rate?

[Hypeisrealman]

zelda is hype as ****
getting owned a lot, used to just chopping some grass for hearts

[IDefineMyself]

Been calling local stores daily, still unable to find one.

[wings_unhinged]

I hope you early buyers are enjoying it. I might just hold on to my Wii U for a little while longer.

It's pretty neat at first but in the end, it's just another console. You turn it on, put the game in, grab the controller and play the software. The portability, to me, is a feature for convenience. I was playing Zelda today and a couple of times had to get up and go somewhere else. So I undocked it and took it with me so I could continue cutting grass.

[Rexcalibr]

Does anyone know if Zelda:BOTW is worth getting on the Wii U?

I am asking because some people say there are frame rate issues on the Switch version so I imagine the Wii U might not be powerful enough for the game to run smoothly on it.
