*** Nintendo Switch ***

What do people think, would it be best to preorder on the Nintendo site or somewhere else? Next shipment is late May. I need one by the end of June.

Considering the experience I had with them direct recently, i'd order from pretty much anywhere else.
 
I actually prefer the 'depth' of the two joycons plugged into the plastic thing than the pro controller. The Pro feels a little small to me but excellent in all other ways.
 
Loving my Switch with Mario Kart and Zelda

Good to have portable option and enjoying the Pro controller to.
Game prices need to tumble but the Switch with a PS4 Pro is working well for me
 
As others have said the pro controller is fantastic. In fact I actually prefer it to both my xbox one and ps4 controllers. I initially cringed at the £60 price tag but honestly it's worth the money IMO. The d-pad is spot on as well in the way only Nintendo seem to be able to get right.

The JoyCons and the grip are OK for short games but I feel the ergonomics are off. I get cramp in my right thumb when i use the Joycon grip as I feel the thumbstick on the right is set too low down. It doesn't really bother me with Mario Kart but on games where you need to use the right analogue stick (like Zelda where it controls the camera) it's annoying.

Just got my pro controller yesterday and so far very impressed with it. Build quality/feel is spot on and it's a dream to use. It was a tough decision on the price but im glad I went for it, as I know it's certainly going to get some use (only had the switch a few days too).

I do agree about the camera on Zelda with the joycons, it felt almost frustrating to track link.
 
Grrr. Bought a couple extra joy-cons and the charging dock. The left one does not charge in the dock, and seems to say it is charging when in the console but quickly says it is done and then reports it is 50% full when using it wirelessly.

So that along with the original left one that I had to put insulating foam in to get it to work at a distance, I'm a tad annoyed.

Still only needed 3 to get some family gaming done.

Wondering whether I should return the joy-cons and dock to argos (looks like dock is fine though as all other joy cons charge fine in it) or just send the defective joy-con to Nintendo and be clear that it will not charge in the dock and lies about charging on the console.

The pain of it all.

Expensive but worth it IMO!
 
Crystal ball time. Do you think they'll release a BoTW with season pass included, kinda like a GOTY? I'm tempted to pick up a copy as a few turn up on the MM but then that thought crossed my mind. I wasn't going to get a Switch until Xmas but I'm tempted to sell my Ps Pro and get one now.

If these things happen, it is only because sales have slowed and it will be 1 year later. If you want to get one now then get it now and get the season's pass for £18. It is well worth the money.
 
I didn't need much encouragement to be fair :) I'm really concerned I won't like the breakable weapons thing but then always got MK8.

The weapons is not a problem, don't get attached to it! And they are plenty of them.

The bigger annoyance is lack of slots to hold weapons so when i see a good one, i have to make room for it. So many cool swords!
