Nintendo Switch (Nintendo's next console)

Yeah, she tried to make it sound tempting lol. I'll show up around midnight after the pub, hopefully be able to pick it up and go instantly.

Grey yes Neon maybe not.

Are the neon controllers that important to people? I purposely pre ordered the grey!

Smyths should still have some grey versions for walk in customers on Friday, argos should have stock too, Neon will be few and far between imo, I have one ordered I am still unsure if I can get it on Friday hope to get it by Sunday at the latest at least by then the online capabilities should be well known by that point. Picked up a 64gb card today to go with it.

I can see argos having a game free perhaps Bomberman or Just Dance free if their price is higher than others. Trade the game in to off set the higher price.

Any more word on a direct tomorrow? I thought there was a rumour of a direct focused on indie games?

Won't be a proper direct till after launch now though.

Possible, no sign on the system. Though only had 19 items in "Nintendo Switch"

-2 consoles (grey and neon), no sign of "Special Offer" stamp on either but could be applied at launch
-only 4 games: BotW, Spec Edt BotW, Just Dance 2017 and Lego City Undercover (prob a placeholder till it launches)
-other 13 must be peripherals, didnt click into it

Has any of the sites/magazines who already got the switch tried the dock on its side? I'm just thinking if I want to keep it under the tv instead of in front/beside the tv. My stand is the same width as the tv.
Or what height is it when docked?

I meant reviewers. Edited my post.

And just read a tweet asking if the LAN adapter is the same as Wii/Wii U and it is.


Google->Reddit said yes

I may be ok. When docked it is 124mm high which means it won't block the picture on the tv

I'm seriously considering cancelling my pre-order with Amazon as the estimated delivery date is 10-11 March. Smyths or Argos might be a better bet for me.....
What to do....what to do....?

i'd try and get one booked and confirmed before cancelling or you could possibly be waiting far longer than the 10-11

Fair point....

Just talked to Smyths in Athlone, and the system will accept pre-orders but there is no guarantee that will have enough stock apparently....

thats smyths usual approach as fair as i am aware. they keep taking bookings regardless if you dont get one at launch you get one in the next lot to come in unless there are more people still on the preorder list than consoles come in.

if amazon dont charge you on the 3rd you could go and try and pick it up and if you dont get it wait for the amazon one but that depends on amazons charging policy

Purposely not playing anything until Friday bar little puzzlers on the 3DS.

I'm aiming to finish up any games I'm playing before Friday as they'll get lost in the mix as I dive head-first into Breath of the Wild. Just down to the last 5 or so hours of Tales of Symphonia and I'm in the clear

...just have to find those 5 or so hours somewhere. Maybe Thursday night
