Not an issue for me as I don't use wheels. Seems a bit odd given Nintendo's usual quality control though, but I'm sure that there is thinking/reasoning behind it somewhere......
Release dates would be awesome, they are 2 of the four games I have already paid off and simply await the rattle of the letterbox as they plummet towards my welcome mat. Splatoon 2 and ARMS will flesh out the collection quite nicely, then all I need will be Mario, Dragon Quest and the inevitable Pikmin sat on my shelves and I'll be in gaming heaven.
Negative Nancys being negative Nancys I see...... Just give up on Nintendo and go away already, y'all clearly not invested in the slightest, and only come here to spit your vitriol all over the comments.
I've only just realised that there is an ignore function for the comments. I'm over the moon, as I can now block the constant flow of negativity from certain people.
Anyway, this is a great start. Yes, they need to keep the momentum going well into 2018 and beyond, but I athink they know this and they seem to be firing on all cylinders.
FWIW, I'm experiencing approximately 0 of the 'issues' that Switch supposedly has. I'm just enjoying the **** out of Zelda.
Amazing game. Currently playing though it with the missus, and I count be enjoying it more.
It's a great start to Switch's life and a really good indicator of where Nintendo are heading now. The next few years are going to be amazing for Nintendo.
@PanurgeJr He's just trying to make it look like he's not trolling, even though he is. I'd imagine it'll be like salt or a slug if Switch is successful in its own right.
@SLIGEACH_famicom Bloody hell..... A parody account on NL? Now I've seen everything.
Anyway.... Again, already paid for and shipping it's way to me on launch. Same with ARMS, same with Splatoon 2, same with Xenoblade 2, same with Super Mario Odyssey.
@Priceless_Spork Only in a literal sense, like how it's good to remember putting them on in the morning. It means 'not very good' I'm colloquial terms.
No surprise there though. Good ole Slig doesn't seem to enjoy much nowadays.
@NintySnesMan Lol, I've had zero issues with the joycon at all, and as for the scratching, well, that's what screen protectors are for. Also, being very careful when taking out/putting in the dock helps. Some people in full whining mode for no reason, probably because they are in full-on regret as now - after all their whining - the plan to walk in and grab one on launch day failed perhaps? Whatever reason, the constant commentary on the nit-picky things is getting beyond old. It's a great bit of kit, naysayers be damned to hell.
@Jezebel95 You preordered it the other day or just finalised your order? Sorry to tell you, but in the case of the former you might/probably won't be getting one at launch. I'd ask the store what wave you are on - wave 1 & 2 are ready at my store for launch day, but wave 3 is still to be determined. They can't and won't give me a straight answer at all - typically crappy service from GAME.
@FragRed There has been one case of a guy being shunted to a queue system, but I presume that's a case of the store being run by dimwits and not informing their customers of the situation. It was one of the larger stores IIRC.
GAME may have preorders open, but I have it on good authority that they aren't guaranteed for launch day. Of course they have stock coming in all the time, but that's no indication of day-1 availability. Gameseek are about to open more orders at the sub- £200 price...... Good luck to all that ordered lol.
@YANDMAN I say confusion, but I only refer to the layman. It's only the average consumer that I would be concerned about, I'm certain the core would lap it up.
@Jessica286 Act like it? Do tell me where I have been immature or unreasonable in the light of your tantrums. Besides, I'm not the one responding to a 4-day-old comment for the sake of an argument.
@YANDMAN It would sure make sense in the light of the SCD patent. They could push 4K as well as a host of graphical improvements with a simple add-on. Whether they themselves see it as 'worth it' - or a source of confusion to the layman consumer - is another discussion all together.
@JaxonH This is something that I feel is often overlooked by people expecting miracles from Switch. The mere fact that it's punching anywhere near XBONE in power is a miracle in itself.
Agreed - come at me in 2 or 3 years with a 'Switch Pro', and I'll happily take one off their hands. Until then, I'll be quite happy with the affordable, accessible piece of tech they have put together for us now.

Re: Today's Super Bomberman R Update Includes Four Battle Mode Stages And Two Accessories
@impurekind He/It will be my main. So happy I grabbed this at launch right now, and Konami are doing a great thing for once.
Re: These Splatoon 2 Switch Accessories Certainly Are Quite Fresh
Yes. That is all.
Re: 'Senran Kagura Refure' Game Heading For Nintendo Switch
Oh my word.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For 12th April - Focused on Splatoon 2, ARMS and More
@Priceless_Spork The aesthetic and general gameplay are reminiscent of the Wii installment, albeit with a bit more variety and freedom of movement.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For 12th April - Focused on Splatoon 2, ARMS and More
Nintendo sure do like keeping me up at night.
Release dates would be awesome, they are 2 of the four games I have already paid off and simply await the rattle of the letterbox as they plummet towards my welcome mat.

Re: Lego City Undercover Box Reveals a Mandatory 13GB Install
I see the usual negative nancies are already rubbing their greasy man-boobs with glee over this.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Switch Has Started Well - Now the Real Challenge Begins
@electrolite77 I love the when stupid statements are cut down so deftly and quickly.
@NodesforNoids Completely disagree with everything you said.

Re: Nintendo Confirms LAN Play, 'Renegade Roundup' and More for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
@SLIGEACH_famicom Bloody hell..... A parody account on NL? Now I've seen everything.
Anyway.... Again, already paid for and shipping it's way to me on launch. Same with ARMS, same with Splatoon 2, same with Xenoblade 2, same with Super Mario Odyssey.
I'm all-in.
Re: Opening Sales for Nintendo Switch in North America Set a New High
@PanurgeJr I'm just wondering how many alts he must have to clock up those likes.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Save Data Is Tied To The Console And Cannot Be Transferred
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Yeah, but it's far more fun to ignore that and complain, sooooooo.......
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Dock Scratching Your Screen? Try This DIY Fix
@Franklin The console was 100% ready. People's bodies were not.
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Dock Scratching Your Screen? Try This DIY Fix
@timson72 Yep. People must be throwing it in the dock with reckless abandon. I can see why it happens in that instance.
Re: Review: Super Bomberman R (Switch)
@DESS-M-8 That makes sense then, I've been ploughing through local MP. Hopefully it gets patched soon.

Re: Delivery Issues Spoil Nintendo Switch Launch Day for Unlucky UK Buyers
Terrible situation for all concerned. Seems like my trend of store collection at launch will continue for the foreseeable future.
Re: Review: Super Bomberman R (Switch)
@NintySnesMan Good stuff. Hope you get your wish.

Re: Review: Super Bomberman R (Switch)
@DESS-M-8 No lag for me.
Re: Review: Super Bomberman R (Switch)
@Boxmonkey Probably sore because they can't afford it at launch.
Re: Review: Super Bomberman R (Switch)
@Yasume I would be giving it the same score. There's a fact for you.

@WiltonRoots Lol. I remember catching him/her putting a placeholder comment in a thread, just so he/she could be first.
I should've screen-grabbed it.
Re: Random: GAME Launches Reversible Onesie To Mark Nintendo Switch Launch
I'm never shopping with them again after I buy the initial console. I couldn't care less if they crash and burn - horrible, HORRIBLE service.
Re: UK Retailer GAME Is Cancelling Nintendo Switch Preorders Days Before Launch
@FragRed There has been one case of a guy being shunted to a queue system, but I presume that's a case of the store being run by dimwits and not informing their customers of the situation. It was one of the larger stores IIRC.
Re: UK Retailer GAME Is Cancelling Nintendo Switch Preorders Days Before Launch
This is why you preorder in store where possible.

@Lord Mainstream, millions-wide casual nonsense. Which means lots of kids wanting Switch. Win-win.
