Sure did. Better than nothing, i guess.

I'd swap it for a sweet credit card transaction, though.

Amen! I'm behind two now so may I wish you a merry Switchmas and a speedy purchase!

Any first impressions?

Inpressed. Switch updated and rebooted and installed in less than 2 minutes. Zelda update taking a bit longer at maybe 5 minutes.

Long loading screens are a thing of the past .

Never go to a midnight launch in Henry St GameStop again

Looks like the joy cons sync just by being attached.

The grip feels pretty comfortable

Fast RMX is a day one purchase for me. Similar vibes to F-Zero or Wipeout. Only €20
And I'll be getting Shovel Knight aswell was hoping for it and the expansion for 20ish euro but it's 25+10

C'mon! That was your chance to do your McCoy impression which would also be a contradiction then

Just in case anyone is wondering. I managed to get a switch without a preorder in Smyth's in airside earlier. I'd say they had at least 20 more behind the counter which didn't appear to belong to preorders.

Did hear them say that they had no more bombermans though. :-)

Enjoy everyone!!

Thought it was 25. Doesn't Treasure Trove include everything?

To those with updating issues, mine updated in the car, using my phone as a WiFi hotspot.
No problems.
Updated Zelda via the WiFi at home, as well as download the Snipperclips demo, not sure about that one.
I don't think I'll be buying Fast RMX though

Was wondering if a phone would work for wifi, is it pretty, tell me it's pretty.

Jesus, that was an ordeal.

Anyway, time for some day one goodness, and some tasty tired beer.

Mmm mmm.

Ha, beat me to it.

Probably because I was still queueing.

However, I will mention, yet again, that the staff were sound, if way more than a little laid back.

Danonino.

Jaysus the joycons are tiny

Messed up putting the screen protector on. I always do. Updated and can't wait to finish work tomorrow evening to head on an adventure for sure.

But that's the impression.
