Would still like to see Pac-Land make it's way to the Switch. Also, regarding the Nintendo/Namco collaboration, it would have been great to see Mario Kart Arcade come to Switch as a new title rather that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe but I guess there are performance and/or licensing issues that would prevent this happening.
The release date is all wrong for Yo-Kai 2, this should have been pushed out at the end of 2016 for Xmas. Our money had gone on Switch with Zelda and waiting for Mario Kart now. Yo-Kai 2 might be on the Xmas 2017 list though.
Does anyone know whether a USB-C to HDMI cable would allow the Switch to be connected to a HDMI TV? This would save having to take the dock for connecting to a TV Here is the type of cable (although others are available, this is the one I could see on Amazon): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thunderbolt-Cable-Benfei-Adapter-Gold-Plated/dp/B01NH500RV
Anyone know if it will be possible to have local multiplayer with two (or more) people on each Switch? For example four player game with two players on each Switch? Thanks.
@Angelic_Lapras_King The good sales figures for Zelda are indeed helped with it being the main game on launch. I expect figures would be different if there was a choice of Zelda, Mario Kart or Splatoon, so in terms of headlines a single big game release is a good strategy for Nintendo having good numbers for Zelda.
There should be an option to save game data to your Nintendo Account, similar to how mobile apps allow you to save progress to Facebook to share between devices.
@ironside1911 It does seem very quiet on the Gameseek deal and I've not seen anyone mention getting it from them. Despite signing up for stock alerts when they said Neon would be available at the same price before launch I never saw anything. It was showing 1 Grey and 30+ Neon in stock in 2nd but no button to buy one! I wonder how true the offer was, maybe some will confirm they got it at the lower price.
Ordered Switch from Amazon UK at midnight on 13th Jan, then BotW on 24th Jan also from Amazon UK. Both delivered together on Friday 3rd March at 11am using Amazon Logistics. Couldn't be more pleased. Can't believe the number of issues being reported and hope these companies sort things out. Hope everyone gets theirs sorted soon.
Accessories seem so expensive but will hopefully get cheaper in time. If I was looking for an extra dock and extra joy-cons I'd be tempted to get another complete Switch.
Anyone know if the Switch will allow videos to be viewed that are copied to the SD card? Previously did this with the PSP and would be a nice feature on the Switch when travelling.
I can see why it wouldn't come with a dock as it's more of a personal gaming system so you would only need a dock to connect to a TV. Some homes may have more than one Switch but would only need one dock. Remember a 3DS doesn't come with a charger! It would be nice if this used a standard Nintendo or USB charger.

Re: Super Mario Run Has Mysteriously Vanished From The iOS App Store
Just had an update for the app on iOS so possibly will return now it's been updated.
Edit: showing in App Store now as v3.0.3 although looks like v3.0.2 was also released today and may have had an issue.
Re: Amazon UK Reduces SNES Mini Orders to One Per Customer
I ordered with the original pre-order for £79.99 then re-ordered with the second pre-order for £69.99.
I was waiting for the original order to drop in price (price match) as I assume this will be prioriry over the later order.
I had intended to cancel the later order when the original order dropped in price but the Amazon cancellation has done that for me.
I'm currently with one system on pre-order at £69.99. Looking forward to delivery in September.
