Finally
Looks like mine will be delivered within the next hour. π
Got mine in Smyths tallaght this morning. Was around 10 people queuing by 9. In and out in less than 10 minutes with my spoils. Happy gaming!
There were plenty of them about for pickup across the various Smyths locations earlier this morning, but they have started drying up the last couple hours. Was down picking up another one in Clondalkin a little earlier and there were two left on the shelf for sale (non-Mario). No takers in the smallish queue at the time as they were all collecting.
Box is roughly 23cm H x 22cm W x 11cm D. Weighs a couple of kgs
Thanks a million. The bike it is - will save me about an hourβ¦
Looking now online for my local and was 15+ this morning. Now 12. So still plenty left here anyway. I do see the majority of other Smyths sold out. Wonder how Currys are. Loos like Amazon and Harvey Norman have stock as well.
Any scalping yet? I noticed for something else they would say it was rare and sold out even while still available to try and scare potential victims.
Picked it up first thing this morning and doing setup while I work. Lovely piece of kit. Coming from the Switch Lite, the screen is incredible.
Ironically I finally got the dispatch notification for the OLED screen for my Switch Lite. Not sure what to do with that now but might give some life to the old Lite
Enjoy everyone! Away from home so had to change my DPD delivery until Monday, will be having fierce fomo over the weekend π
my order is still travelling through the DPD Network, status isn't updated out on van for delivery, hopefully I'll get it before end of today.
Its here, I have plenty of time to get it sorted before work.
Same for me, I'm away but I'm getting it delivered to another family member, so I've told them not to leave their house!
Just delivered πͺ. what screen protectors ye getting ?
got an update, should be delivered between 12.30 and 13:30 today!
I'm in roughly the same timeframe. If you have an account set up on Parcel Wizard you might actually be able to see where the driver is on a map. I've got that map tracking for mine anyway
Got mine last night aswell played 2 games of Mario Kart and went to bed π
Went on the eShop briefly and its way faster than before thank feck
Went and bought cyberpunk & breath of the wild also
Looking forward to the kids coming home from school so we can get stuck into Mario Kart properly it's nice to have them at an age where we can enjoy gaming together
Enjoy the consoles everyone!
Did you play cyberpunk yet? I'm dying to know how the performance is.
Just arrived!
Delivery driver said one household has 3 of them incoming. Own up, which one of you is it? ππ
Not yet will get to it later today and report back, I'm interested to see how the cross save system works as I started it on PS5 and would like to continue on from there..
Same here, starting to worry I won't get it todayβ¦.
Oh, that's interesting. I was playing it on PC, and I had no interest in starting it again. I may get tempted to get it on Switch 2
Got mine...system transfer started...
Hi all, I posted this in another thread but probably not getting much traction there. I'm setting up a Nintendo Online family group with the expansion pass. There's 6 places left and it's 6.75 for the year. PM me your Nintendo email address if interested in joining and I'll you to the group
Edit: All spots taken now. I'd recommend someone sets up another group, I'd already had to turn down 3 others after a couple of hours.
Walked into a mostly empty Smyths around midday. Scanned my barcode at the click and collect kiosk and my name was called less than a minute later. After being told peeling the screen would void the warranty, I was out the door with a Switch 2 under my arm ready to fight anyone who tried to take it.
In work and tried to have a go of it during lunch but you have to do the system transfer thing on start up or you can't do it again without doing a factory reset⦠Looks like I'll have to patiently wait until this evening so, 1st word problems!
Yeah exactly as far as I can see you can use this feature on all platforms so I'll def check that out later and let ye know
Got mine at lunchtime, plus an SD Express.
Getting Cyberpunk as a delayed birthday pressie.
Picking mine up this evening after work. Just in terms of the system transfer, do you need to transfer all games across or can you pick and choose? My Switch with SD would have more than the onboard Switch 2 memory and I'm holding off getting the SD Express card for the moment.
First impressions are very good. The Switch itself feels nice and premium, the joy cons are still too thin for my liking but it's going to be docked 99% of the time so no big deal. I did the system transfer since there were no warnings about resetting the original Switch and it worked flawlessly, took about 10 minutes. Thanks @Mimikyu for that heads up.
Things I love so far, the home screen finally looks lovely (assume it's 4k) and oh my, how fast is the e-shop! It's actually enjoyable to use now. π They've moved your wish list to the main menu which is a nice touch.
Star of the show for me though is the Pro Controller 2 - it feels amazing. Those thumbsticks are so smooth, feels far better than the original pro controller which is saying something. They might have finally topped the original GC controller for comfort. π³
Mine arrived just before lunch. Wife told me she dropped the box when the DPD man handed it to her π€¦ββοΈ huge dent in the outside box and a small dent to the actual Switch box. Lucky it all looks to be working fine.
Rushed through the console transfer and started the download for Mario Kart World so it's all ready to go later.
Same, are you a November birthday like me? It was quite the delay and certainly not an excuse π
