"But you idiot, Snipperclips and Zelda are going to keep you busy as fúck you utter clown. But you'll not listen anyway so fúck you"

Shut up mind.

Yeah, mind. You're the clown.

I'm sure I'll have several hours when I get back from the midnight launch in which I'll, y'know, just fancy a change from the constant Zelda.

I'd say so, I was told to pop down to Smyth's and wait around til all the pre orders had been fulfilled and there should be stock enough for one....

I'm really taking a chance but I've no other option at the moment...

I'll see how the evening goes- those Breath of the Wild reviews though!!!

There's a coming soon gap for the Nintendo Switch rewards, for anyone who collects up some My Nintendo points. Hopefully it launches soon and has a few good games with decent discounts, or maybe some decent themes.

Although initially intrigued by the Switch I decided to hold off and never preordered.

I got paid on Tuesday with €350 in expenses.

Now I'm considering driving to my local GameStop 40 minutes away without a preorder and seeing can I pick one up...

Got my collection email too. It'll have to wait for me til tomorrow.

Haha sounds like me on wwe ppv nights going into work like I have been in the wars.

There is something about Nintendo lonch that gets me going compare to day a Samsung or Apple.

It's a sense of joy and magic of being a child getting the N64 and star Fox 64 again. I played star Fox 64 again there a few years back I was done and dusted in 40 mins as child I could never beat it the times have changed

I have a One and PS4.
The One and PS4 does not have Zelda.
The One and PS4 does not have Zelda you can take on the go.

You will go and collect. Don't be a Grinch on Switchmas eve.

****e, tried to use the €10 Snipperclips code I got from Amazon.de and it's not letting me buy it because I'm in Ireland... Same happens for Amazon.co.uk... To cancel my joy-cons and pick them up in Smyths tonight, or just leave it be...

I've never played a Zelda game and seeing the reviews have really made me want to give them a bash.

I'm off work on Monday so will head down tomorrow after work and see what's available. Will have the weekend then with it.
