*** Nintendo Switch ***

I got a confirmation email from Amazon that I'll get mine on day one, stock may be more important than being thought.

Struggling to decide which second controller to get. I will played Zelda which I suspect will be a better experience on the Pro, but I also play a lot of local multiplayer and don't want to lose any functionality from the Joy-Con.

What is everyone else getting then?

I'm fairly certain now that in the long run, I'm better off buying a set of (neon) Joy Cons and the Charging Grip. It's going to be a family console when all said and done and I think I'll get more mileage out of having 4 potential controllers, considering 4 of us could play. Not going to buy until Mario Kart though.

Managed to get my Grey pre-order changed over to a Neon one at GAME without any problems.

Apparently the switch will sit alongside the 3ds

Which is a good thing considering the battery on Switch.

If the Switch gains traction and has a good release I'd be surprised if Nintendo persist with the 3DS in the medium-to-long term.

If the switch is popular I can see Nintendo releasing a cut price switch without the dock for the same price as the 3DS in a year or so's time. I think they're just biding their time to see how the switch sells and the tech to drop in price. Right now the switch is too expensive to replace the 3DS with it.

10% off all orders for new customers at very. Switch + Zelda for £300 inc delivery. Any better deals around?

Not that I found, took this offer myself.

 

[Peew971]

I was always under the impression Very was a bit dodgy but not sure why.

 

[McBain]

Nah, they're legit, just don't get anything on account for longer than a month as the APR is horrendous. I believe they're part of Littlewoods.

 

[Peew971]

That must be it then, getting an account is like getting a new credit card.

John Lewis will be taking orders online from 1 March. Something to consider as they give 2 years guarantee.

 

[Peew971]

It really feels like stock won't be an issue too much, unless Nintendo is lying to retailers. John Lewis is a great option too.

I think only the Neon version will be difficult to find. Then again can just by the neon joycons and grey console.

 

[Peew971]

Do you call Neon the blue and red one? Because I've seen that one in stock as late as yesterday.

 

[Flibster]

One Neon and one Grey confirmed for launch day. One is a present for someone, haven't decided which yet though.

Yes, I've gone for the grey myself.

 

[McBain]

Grey all day long!!!
