Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@rallydefault No, a retailer broke the street date.

@Grumblevolcano
Dang... I can see like a few days early, but like 2 weeks early? That's gonna be bad.

Anyway, the sound effects for the icons are awesome lol the first few definitely remind me of Mario sounds.

I love the OS, both visually and its sounds!

@FGPackers
Yea - looks/sounds like a refined Wii U UI, honestly. Clean lines, simple icons - very cool!

UI looks clean and neat but boy I wouldn't like to be whoever broke the street date once Nintendo finds out!

So a retailer only shipped one unit? Where are the others?

Could it be a unit that has been sent to the media for review?

So themes are a thing apparently. Would be nice if we could use the themes and badges we have on our 3DS consoles, just let us choose which half of the theme we want to use, as we won't be able to use both.

Not sure what's so bad about this. It seems very simplistic, not much to surprise us with either way. Which is good in its own ways

Are people saying it's bad? Or do you mean just this guy having a Switch so early?

Nah, I misinterpreted what you said. Thought you meant "that's gonna be bad" for Nintendo. But now I realize you mean the retailer. In which case, yeah, probably won't be getting early stock from Nintendo in the future

Also in those system settings were an airplane mode and a system lock, which I assume means locking it like a phone.

Two weeks early.. That's awesome if that happens with a game, but a console.. If you don't have any games it's useless. So if anyone's hoping to receive one early, don't bother, I can't do much till launch anyway.

I got a delivery today, big box, certainly large enough for a Switch and Zelda. Couldn't think of anything else that I'm due to be delivered. Started to get really excited... Surely not... Surely 2 weeks early is just cray-cray.
Opened it, it's a new drill??
Confused, I went about my day.
The misses got home from work, and is like, oh great, the drill I ordered for you came, you can finally put those shelves up I've been asking you to do!!! FML

@G0dlike
lol - I honestly laughed. Good story.

Well I'm glad I spread a little bit of joy! I was thinking, how ridiculous to even get excited, there's no way people would get their Switch 2 weeks early... and then I saw the leak....
It's like the time I wished I could somehow change my Yooka Laylee order from Wii U to Switch and about an hour later Playtonic announced they were cancelling the Wii U version.
Psychotic I am, hmm

All deserving of the "Deffo Buys" list!

Steep is one I'll be buying too, only thing is I hate the persistent online. As a portable console they need to make it playable offline. As long as they do that, it's a "Deffo Buy" too!

So it DOES make the "click" sound when you first boot it up!

@IceClimbers Yes and I am ridiculously happy about that~
