I've honestly never been more excited for a console launch.

I was hyped for the PS4 but the Switch has outweighed that big time. I've had my doubts (still do somewhat) but the excitement and potential is making me feel like a kid at Christmas.

Console at home.
Console on the go with great content and multiplayer.

I'm dying to set up a game night some evening. A pub. Switches. Mario Kart/Splatoon.

I love gaming on my PS4 with mates online but there's something kinda special about having a load of Switch owners in one room having a laugh with games.

No one to speak of here at Airside.
There's a car with some folks outside Smyth's, but I'm in MaccyDs having a feed first!

The LAN feature could well make all the difference, particularly if they bring a some great software, first and third party, to take advantage.

I totally agree. I love my PS4 but I feel like Nintendo always try to do something different and bring something new to the market thats why I am willing to support them again despite the failure of Wii U. Im really hoping its a success for them too the gaming world would be so boring without Nintendo in it.

I'm heading out there now. You can pay before midnight apparently

FutureGuy

A friend texted me to ask where's the best place to pick one up. :-/ I'm preordered in GS but Smyths looks the best at 385 for Switch and Zelda. Any better offer in Argos?

TrustedApple

Ended up tradeing games in and getting more stuff for the switch I am week ha

So.....a question! Maybe ye don't know the answer, but if there are 5 people with 5 switches and we all want to play Mario Kart via LAN connection do we all need a copy of the game?

Thanks,

A few cars here at Smyths Fonthill. Was quite confusing, because the gate was closed into the retail park. Drove up to the gate and it opened.
