why can't you? If anything pay the extra cash for it m.. You making guap.

Because it doesn't have an order option. Just says to join wishlist and they'll email when it comes available.

Where can I cop rn for extra cash? Without waiting for shipping?
 
I checked Craigslist outta curiosity and the prices are OD [emoji]128563[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]
 
fousey fousey yo brotha I can spot you at my local GS... IF I can get my hands on one of their extra units. The dude said they might have a few and I'm picking up mine at midnight Thursday. Sooo if I get there and they still got an extra, I got you. Just pay the retail plus shipping.
Can't guarantee, but I'll def check.
If you're good just be sure to check your msgs on here, so I can be sure you didn't already snag another from elsewhere
 
who else hasn't played/finished all of the 3D Zelda games yet but will be playing Breath of the Wild?

I've finished a handful of the 2D ones but only finished one 3D, Ocarina of Time. The main reason is school priorities, but I reallly want to sit down and play this whole game before I get swamped again
 
No doubt Zelda is great but Famitsu gave Final Fantasy XIII-2 a perfect 40. FF is my favorite series and I'm a little towards it but that score is a complete lie :lol

ive never played skyward sword but I hear nothing positive about it, only that those wii mote controls are painfully garbage
 
I don't plan on copping for a lil while but where I work (Best Buy) we got over 140 consoles in last week, mostly grey, and tons of accessories so far. I checked one out because there's no seal on the console box. It's pretty dam thin and the colored JoyCons are crazy bright. Shipments are way better than like 6-12 NES Classics showing up at a time :lol

This is somewhat encouraging to hear. People looking to cop without pre-orders and later down the line might actually have a chance unlike the nes mini.
 
The indie games look really impressive on this thing. I haven't been this excited to get a new game system in years, and I do mean years. Last modern day system I bought for myself was the Xbox 360 on it's release date back in 2005, so for me, this will be a treat. Still not sure if I'll get 1-2 Switch or not since I only pre-ordered Mario Kart 8 and BOTW.

wanna get SF2 since I haven't really played since the SNES days[emoji]128522[/emoji]...but $40 is a tad bit steep
 
Seems like the reviews are ******** on the home console side from what I've read so far, which is all I care about 8o

The more I look at the blue/red Switch, the more I want it. After going through reviews and concerns about things, I forgot one key thing about this system, it's mainly for my duaghter and not me :lol
 
My bestbuy order is shipped! Hope it gets here on Friday :lol

The reviews first make me want to buy a second Switch then towards the last reviews make me regret buying it lol
 
Yeah, IGN made it sound like the Switch isn't ready for full home console use. Other reviews kept mentioning how it's great on the go and how it's the most powerful portable gaming system ever, but not so much as a home console. They were mentioning that BoTW would dip in frame rate quite a bit when the Switch was docked, but run smoothly when undocked.

I think for the most part, you're not buying the Switch to be your main console, but you're buying it for the Nintendo exclusives and for the option to take it with you on the go if you'd like. BoTW will get the Switch into a ton of homes immediately and Mario will bring in the stragglers during the holidays that wanted to wait.

Games dipping in console mode worries me. System is struggling on a Wii U game at 900p.

I've enjoyed tf outta HZD so far. I'm getting tempted to pass for now. I know I gotta play BOTW though :{
 
Those reviews are again the reason why I don't trust most opinions in the gaming industry. IGN gave the WII U hardware an 8, yet give the Switch a 6.7?? They also crapped on the OG Wii and that went on to sell over 100 million.:lol

I can't take these guys seriously. I always take their opinions with a grain of cocaine.The market will decide whether the system's hardware is successful or not.

As for the Zelda having some frame rate issues in console mode... that is concerning, but that can be chalked up to the architecture of the WII U being Power PC vs the ARM architecture of the Switch. This is one of the reasons third party moved away from the WII U. It's architecture was so customized a game built for the ground up would have some problems if ported over to other machines. It's not an indictment of the Switch's power becasue it is clearly capable machine more powerful than the Wii U. Overall, It's a small thing in the scheme of things.

The biggest thing for me is the games and the games I want will be on the system. Everything else is icing on the cake.
