I bet people complaining about the price don't think twice about buying a $750 cell phone.
Going to the bar with my buddies cost at least $50. Taking the family out to dinner at least another $50. Going to see a major sports team play is a minimum of a couple of hundred dollars. Last vacation was $3000.
So sorry not going to complain about spending $300 on something that will give my family hours upon hours and years of enjoyment.
Well first Wal-Mart cancelled my order because they were unable to fulfill it, and just know Kohl's cancelled my order because they said they didn't actually have any.
So I am out. I ordered BotW from Amazon for the Switch, I am just going to take it to Wal-Mart and exchange it for the Wii U version.
Was just about to buy Zelda BotW on Wii U, but Amazon no longer has it for sell, $47.99 with Prime Discount was too good to pass up. So once again, Nintendo doesn't want to take my money.
When I leave the house, I am working, running, biking, kayaking, fishing, hunting or some other outside activity that is not conducive to playing video games.
If something does comes up, I have my trusty 3DS XL and MK7. No need to spend another $60 on the same game I alreay own.
We are a gaming family. 14 yr old son, 12 yr old daughter and myself a 45 yr old dad. We have 2 Xbox Ones, Wii U, PS3, PS Vita, PSP, 2 Wii's, Vita TV, 3 3ds XL's, 3 DSi XL's, 2 Full Blown gaming PCs and too many Ipads, Androids tablets and smart phone to count.
I have no desire for the Switch, just don't see the need for it at this time. Might pick one up Holiday season 2018.
My kids know it exists, but have shown no interest in it. None of their friends are talking about it either.

Re: Nintendo of America Says to Check Retailers as More Switch Stock is On the Way
I am in the States and was just able to grab a Switch today on Amazon.
I just went to Smyths Ireland web site, and over half the stores say the Grey Joycon Switch is in stock for pick-up or delivery.
Also checked the Neon's and they are even more available for pickup and delivery.
Every store has the Pro-Controller and they actually have them on sale for 5 Euro's off.
Re: Nintendo Says There is No Design Issue Causing Left Joy-Con Connection Drops
If they would sell me one, I would be glad to test it out.
Re: Editorial: Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the Most Accessible of Nintendo Switch Launch Games
Not very accessible if you can't find a Switch to play it on.
Re: GameStop Pitches In With Promise of US Nintendo Switch Restock on 22nd March
How many per store? Just saying your getting in stock really does no good.
Re: Deals: Nintendo Switch Upcoming Goodies For March And April
I am out! I wasn't going to buy one, then my son bought BotW for Switch with his B-Day money so I decided to buy one.
Wal-Mart and Kohls both cancelled my order because they couldn't fulfill my orders.
So now going to return BotW to Walmart and son is going to by a new headset for his X-Box instead.
Not sure if and when I will jump on the Switch Train.

Re: Nintendo Is Doubling Production of Switch Units
Here in the States, I had my Wal-Mart order cancelled because they could not fulfill it and then I had my Kohls order cancelled for the same reason.
There are no Switches available in the States for MSRP. Any retailer I have talked to have no clue when they will be getting any more.
Re: Nintendo Switch Chip X-Ray Suggests The Console Is Running A Stock Nvidia Tegra X1
I became weak and decided I wanted a Switch.
Well first Wal-Mart cancelled my order because they were unable to fulfill it, and just know Kohl's cancelled my order because they said they didn't actually have any.
So I am out. I ordered BotW from Amazon for the Switch, I am just going to take it to Wal-Mart and exchange it for the Wii U version.
I will wait for Switch 2.0.

Re: "No Widespread Technical Problems" With Switch Joy-Cons, Claims Nintendo
Neither of my joy con work! As a matter of fact, my entire Switch does nothing.
Oh, thats right. I don't have a Switch because Nintendo will not sell me one.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Switch Has Started Well - Now the Real Challenge Begins
My son talked me into buying one. He said if I bought a Switch he would buy BotW with his B-Day Money.
But guess what? There are none to be had. Switchs that is, can get BotW.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Switch Has Started Well - Now the Real Challenge Begins
@cfgk24 Nobody likes a braggart!
Re: Feature: Our Team Reflects on a Week With Nintendo Switch
I convinced myself to buy one, but guess what? Nintendo won't let me!
Nintendo is the only company I want to do business with that refuses to do so.
Re: Feature: Our Team Reflects on a Week With Nintendo Switch
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Good to know, been trying to order it on Amazon with no luck. Want to get it with the 20% discount.
Re: Feature: Our Team Reflects on a Week With Nintendo Switch
I so need to fight the urge to buy one, but my fanboyism is starting to take over.
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories You Should Buy

Re: Nintendo Provides Official Advice for Switch Joy-Con Connection Issues
Nothing ticks me off more than when a company blames me for their problems.
Re: Hardware Review: Nintendo Switch: Nintendo's Most Important Console Yet
The Switch is just a device for the Hardcore Nintendo Fanboy.
It will not come close to Wii or 3DS sales.
The Switch is the Nintendo device that finally cured me of my Nintendo Fanboyism.

Re: Don't Worry, Nintendo Says It Hasn't Stopped NES Mini Production
I check BrickSeek multiple times a day, and not one single Wal-Mart within 50 miles of me (16 of them) has ever had a NES Mini in stock.
Re: Scandinavian Retailer Prompts Concerns Around NES Mini Production
@Drummertist I want one, and I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get one.
Re: Scandinavian Retailer Prompts Concerns Around NES Mini Production
If this is TRUE! And I can't get one at no more than MSRP, this will be the final nail in the death of my Nintendo Fan Boyism.
Re: Talking Point: Considering Nintendo's Portable Future
Sorry!
I will take my 3DS/PS Vita over the Switch as a portable and I will take my Xbox One and Wii U over the Switch as a console.
Switch is trying to be all things to all people.
Re: Nintendo Switch Lacks A Web Browser Because It's A "Dedicated Video Game Platform"
No need for a web browser, Netflix, youtube or any other apps.
It should just play games and nothing else.
Re: Talking Point: The Nintendo Switch Super Bowl Ad Was a Huge Success, But Why?
Portable device that only last 2 hours?
Re: Talking Point: The Nintendo Switch Super Bowl Ad Was a Huge Success, But Why?
I know no gamers that are buying a Switch day one. I know no non gamers who even know what Switch is. If you are a non gamer why would you even care.
Re: Nintendo Hopes the Switch Can Be A Bridge Between Home Console and Portable

Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Expects Nintendo Switch To Sell "About As Well" As The Wii
Nope!
I bought 3 Wii's - at this point I have Zero desire to buy 1 Switch.
Maybe Black Friday 2018 I will pick up a Switch to add to my collection.
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Apologises for NES Mini Shortages, Cites Delays Procuring Parts

@danielman9 I have never paid more than $35 for a year of Xbox Live.
Re: New Hack Offers A Full Game Library On Your NES Classic Edition
Still don't have one, because Nintendo once again refuses to take my money.
So said money has gone to Microsoft and Sony who have no problem taking my money.
