| DarthMetalliCube said: Got my Switch yo! The LAST available one at Walmart (and thankfully it was a grey one). My buddy and drop by a 24hr Walmart, and there were 12 Switch buyers in line, 13 available (non-preordered) consoles. We were (of course) # 13 and 14 which meant either one of us gets a Switch or both of us pack up and try somewhere else.. So I ended up waiting in line while my buddy goes to scout out other places, eventually ending up at Best Buy (he insisted, I swear lol). So in short - we both ended up getting a Switch, and rendevous back to his place and pop in Zelda.. Pretty interesting evening to say the least heh. Some basic thoughts in my brief hour with the console - Everything is so damn tiny, from the controllers to the dock to the little game card, didn't expect everything to be so compact. - Pro controller is sexy as hell, feels great, not too light or cheaply made like I feared it would. - Setup is pretty quick and straightforward. - Zelda looks gorgeous, love the art style even more seeing it first hand. (rumble is so far quite subtle in my brief experience) - Tablet is a slick little device, looks great, actually fits in pocket decently (though bulky) without the joycons attached.
- That "click feel when attaching joycons IS quite satisfying

its weird, while I do feel like the Joycons and joycon controller attachment are a bit small when you put them in your hands they feel surprisingly comfortable. On the other hand, for a portable, I felt like the tablet Switch looked a bit big when I first took it out but after using it a bit it feels insanely comfortable for its size. Might rock the handheld more than I expected
Setup was easy, joy cons are a lot smaller than I thought they would be. Zelda, instant fun, great game play right from the start.
Couple early nitpicks:
Joycons are not very comfortable to play with, either separate or in the grip. I probably need to get used to how to hold it as it required some akward finger bending to use the bow and change weapons.
Wifi issues, just as with the WiiU, Nintendo console has problems maintaining connection in my game room. It took a while to download the system and Zelda update, and it lost my connection completely after the system update. (Nothing like the WiiU though which took over 3 hours to update day 1) Ofcourse I could have walked over to the router... but it's late!
I already had synch issues with both joy-cons. Link kept running straight a few times in Zelda, sword charging up for no reason and then breaking on the stone in front of me, camera spinning for a few seconds. I guess my couch is too far from the screen. Might need a longer hdmi cable to move the console closer :/
The switch wouldn't accept full RGB range at first with my projector, it did after the update yet Zelda still looked pretty washed out. Switching the console and my projector to limited range looked a little better.
HD rumble, no clue. The first selection of games you get in 1-2 switch don't do anything special with it. Plus playing by yourself the game is a 1/10 duh :)
The switch looks and feels very nice. OS is simple and super fast. Game loads fast, reloads fast, saves fast. It's fast! Now must resist the urge to take Zelda to bed, need to sleep :(
Still wainting for my Switch to arrive. I should have it withing the next two hours, though.
I got Zelda, Bomberman, and a travel case but no system since its being deliver tomorrow.

are you close to your router or modem or whatever? I downloaded Snipperclips / Fast RMX (granted thats only probably like 2 or 3GB total max) pretty quickly. Definitely not at regular speed my phone would dl something, but not noticably bad

No, my game room is on the ground floor, router in the loft. It used to be down there with wired connections available yet living room reception gets priority. Yet my ps4 has no trouble streaming Netflix and online multiplayer. Downloads vary yet a lot faster than the switch did. Switch only sees my network with 2 bars down there.
I could not pre-order it on time and really did not want to go out at midnight :)
But, I just ordered on Amazon and with Prime I will get it on Tuesday, not so bad.
Gray one is available right now on Amazon Canada:

This is actually perfect for me. Kids are in vacations next week and we already planned to play Ghost Recon W. all together, the Switch will arrive the same day; will be a big gaming day :)
