Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I finally got a Switch!

Shikamo on 08 August 2017

As many people know Nintendo is not officially in Brazil, so I waited a long time to buy a Switch for an affordable price (I paid BRL 1625 or U$ 520, it's a good price in Brazil), on August 2 I ended up buying the Switch on Mercadolivre (a type of ebay in Brazil) to give me a little present for my birthday :P (that was on August 5th),  the console arrived in perfect condition on August 4th (01 day before my birthday o/).

Firstly I'm impressed with the size of the console since it fits perfectly in my hand (something I have problem with my 3ds, 3ds xl and with my ps vita).

Second, I think Switch has a good library, until now i bought only Zelda breath of the Wild but this week my Splatoon 2 arrives and I plan to buy Disgaea 5 Complete (Physical), Puyo Puyo Tetris (Physical), Voez at (Eshop) and some future releases like Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Skyrim and others.

The only thing that I didn't like is that it seems to be very fragile, I bought a screen protector and a carrying case and I keep it in places of extreme security since I'm afraid to leave it in the dock and one of my cats jump on the shelf and bring down the switch.

If you have some game to recommend please tell me :) and if anyone wants to add me to play splatoon 2 or future games on Switch here is my Friend Code: SW-6390-8693-0129.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Congrats! I recommend a pro controller providing it's not an arm and a leg.

I liked the joy-cons but I'm going to buy a pro controller until the launch of Mario Odyssey, maybe before :P

Nice, congrats! And I assure you the Switch isn't fragile. A bit of evidence https://youtu.be/y8QCFNAgPDo

I mean yeah, the joy-con absorbed some of the impact but the system still survived one heck of a hit.

From what I can tell, build quality feels very good. The sole exception is the screen. They went with plastic for shatter resistance but unfortunately that makes it vulnerable to scratches but if you bought a good screen protector you should be good.
