Another coworker has bought a Switch! That's right. Another coworker has bought a Nintendo Switch. That's... let me see...that's number 5. This guy was the Xbox fanatic I was telling you about. The one scrambling to preorder the Xbox One X and loves The Division... I guess Mario + Rabbids caught his eye at e3, and I guess seeing me talk about it all the time and seeing me play it has worn him down. He got the Splatoon 2 bundle- that's the game he really wants to play. The quality engineer who last got one is now hooked on Splatoon (he's a little younger and a few years out of college so a pretty popular guy), and I think when he got one that was the turning point that really convinced Xavier to bite.
Anyways, just thought I'd keep you posted. I have literally swayed 5 people to buy a Switch lol. I guess I can't really take all the credit because if the system and games weren't cool people wouldn't be buying it. All I really did is bring mine to work... and the things sells itself.

@JaxonH So you don't have to redownload anything? That's actually pretty cool.
I'm not sure where you work but I sure hope it's not a nucular power plant because you all will be playing Switch while a meltdown happens lol. I can see the Sun Times now, Nintendo kills millions of people with 6 switches.

You download the first time to get it on the system, but after that you're good. It's just locked out from being played until you activate that console as your primary or "active console".

@IceClimbers@Spoony_Tech You're both right, sort of. Note the difference between "user accounts" and "Nintendo Account."
Multiple user accounts can be made on a Switch, where only one Nintendo Account can be linked to a Switch. While purchases are linked to your Nintendo Account, there's no every-day application where that comes up, and to better answer @SuperJoon's question, the purchase of a game on a console allows you to play it on all user accounts on that system, but not on any other system.
Actually that's not true.
You can access both your Nintendo account and games on any Nintendo Switch. I have 2 Switches. I simply tied my Nintendo Account to my second Switch, and any time I want I go to the eShop of Switch #1 and click "Deactivate" then on Switch #2 I simply launch the eShop and it automatically activates as the active console. All my games are accessible and playable. However, I cannot access my digital games on Switch #1 so long as Switch #2 is the active console. Whenever I want to switch back, I repeat the process in reverse. I click "Deactivate" in the eShop of Switch #2, then launch the eShop of Switch #1 to activate it.
@JaxonH I saw the Splatoon 2 bundle get restocked at Walmart - shows up on Twitter occasionally - but I'm waiting on Mario. Got my $50 Gamestop credit card bill statement in the mail today. And while you probably can't take all the credit, we both know you got the ball rolling. If you hadn't brought the Switch in in the first place it's possible nobody else there would have purchased one yet. So you may not have twisted any arms, but you showed them the light. You should dress up as a Joycon for the office Halloween party. Just make sure it's the left one, the right one puts the joystick in an awkward spot.
Someday we'll find it

Congrats, congrats... it's a special day when you get new Nintendo hardware. And doesn't come around that often... unless you're a 3DS gamer And it's been even longer since new a new Nintendo console that's actually been hype. 10 years in fact. And even that one failed to live up to its promised potential.
This one is very special. Not only does it live up to its promised potential but it exceeds expectations. It's no wonder so many people love it so much

@Tsurii Still waiting on the grey Switch to get back in stock... Maybe I should just get the red/blue Switch, since I'm going to get a Pro Controller anyway lol.

I knew this was a thing, I didn't know it was that easy. Imagine how amazing this will be when cloud saves are implemented!

An opinion is only respectable if it can be defended. Respect people, not opinions
Just go with the red/blue if you're gonna use the Pro Controller. You can even take the JoyCon off and hide them in a closet or your dog if you're that ashamed of the neon colors lol
@Tsurii I think I'm fine with the Red/Blue if I can't find a grey one for €330. Saturn has them in stock, but it's €20 more expensive if I order from them. I'll check again next week, just in case. However, my screen protector won't arrive until then anyway, and I have access to same day delivery, so I can order one whenever I feel like and it'll get delivered to my door on the same day.
@rallydefault lol, not ashamed of them. I just prefer the grey Joy-Con, because they match the rest of the Switch, match my other consoles and aren't asymmetrical in terms of looks
@Octane
I thought I'd like the grey more too, for the same reasons you mentioned
Then launch day came and I had one of each... and that's when I realized how plane jane the grey looked and how much more I preferred the neon red/blue.
I think alot of people have flip flopped on that after seeing it in person and using it for a day or two

@JaxonH I've seen and used the red/blue Joy-Con though, but like I said, I'm getting a Pro anyway, so I'm not sure what I'm making a mountain out of a molehill lol. And if the Switch can differentiate between the two Joy-Con, like @Therad says, I may go for red/blue in case I ever do co-op or mp.
@Octane
Ya it's awesome. Not only does the joycon color flash on the side of the screen when you attach it, but it shoes in the controller screen as the color it is as well. It's totally rad.
There's a homebrew app that changes the color a joycon shows up as too, so if you ever get a custom painted or shell joycon you can make it show any color you want
