Attention NeoGAF! I am proud to reveal the World's First Nintendo Switch Unboxing! A collaboration between FloKO and hiphoptherobot!

Enjoy!

No hooking it up to a TV.

just to get it out of the way, that's dust not a dead pixel

Lionel Richie · Feb 17, 2017

Man I have this really weird thing where I don't watch unboxings because it feels like such a huge spoiler lol, but I'm also very curious so I'm just feeling really conflicted right now.

And yes, the screen is IPS.

I don't know you know. Can we get a video post wipe?

It's a fucking unboxing of a console. Spoilers, good lord.

sweet

hiphoptherobot · Feb 17, 2017

I hooked it up to the tv but the time of day made the tv really hard to see on video so it was left out.

jett · Feb 17, 2017

I thought he was leaking stuff, he just got a Switch shipped by mistake? lol. Too bad Zelda wasn't shipped along with it.

Sonic Rift · Feb 17, 2017

So you got the system but no game? That's almost worse than waiting till launch...

I'm not sure if you've been asked yet, but how do you think the handheld mode and the Joycon Grip feel to use?

foltzie1 · Feb 17, 2017

Flash? Seriously FloSports? What year is it?

Feels great! Would probably feel better if I could play a game with it though.

Fireblend · Feb 17, 2017

Any chance you have a dual-male audio jack cable and a way to record your PC audio-in jack? I wanna hear that bootup sound in decent quality

Gotta hide from the prominent video players.

JustenP88 · Feb 17, 2017

I really hope this shat all over some big outlet's scoop and Nintendo gives them the OK to scoop something else (sorry big game news).

if it was on youtube it would get taken down

Polygonal_Sprite · Feb 17, 2017

Looks great, everything is so slick. About time Nintendo

JayBabay · Feb 17, 2017

The noises it's making when the plastic is hitting the desk are killing me.

EDIT: Console looks good, can't wait to get my hands on one. I wish they showed off Joy-Cons actually attaching to the tablet, and also demonstrating some docking. Especially with such a sensitive microphone haha

But he can boot it up and hear that click sound whenever he likes now.

There's a Nintendo Switch in the box

Peltz · Feb 17, 2017

It must feel so good and yet so bad to have a shiny new console with no games for 2 weeks.

It's such a tease

Lol.

fuck I shouldn't have clicked this

NoblesseOblige · Feb 17, 2017

Did he unbox it, rebox it, then record it as an unboxing? Because it looks messy.

Gray-Fox · Feb 17, 2017

where can I reach him to purchase this?

Yes, I'd assume so.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the case.

Probably, he did post unwrapped pics in the other thread before another gaffer contacted him to record this video.

We used to say the same thing about the Wii U.

It's part of the excitement and experience of getting new console hardware. Avoid the video if you're conflicted.

Peanut butter and jealous rn

OCD Guy · Feb 17, 2017

No seal on the box again? Or was it removed before unboxing?

I hate when certain products have no manufacturer seals....

Nanashrew · Feb 17, 2017

Oh nice! Thanks for the Vid.me mirror! I can finally watch it

True Fire · Feb 17, 2017

I wish he'd make a video plugging and unplugging and plugging and unplugging it into the TV. I want to see how seamless it is, you know? And maybe some motion control action.

Yeah, I clicked on it, watched the first few seconds of the box, and closed the window.

Launch consoles only come along so often, and I really cherish the whole experience.

Mihael Mello Keehl · Feb 17, 2017

Manne is that the only wild switch? There gotta be more atleast they couldnt of only shipped one

Would he have to upload it to pornhub?

rekameohs · Feb 17, 2017

That sure is an unboxing video

Jigolo · Feb 17, 2017

ready

Camp1nCarl · Feb 17, 2017

I'm pretty sure I'd go nuts if I found out my new console was shipped over two weeks before launch. He could probably flip it on Ebay right now for a decent profit lol

The other one accidentally got shipped to Chad Warden.

The Argus · Feb 17, 2017

Can't believe I'm saying this, but compared to the Wii U this box is pretty boring. The Wii U was really fun to unbox, everything lived in a little slide out that was numbered. Here you open the box and instantly see the Switch. Feels cheap, but whatever you only do this once.

Also the power cord seems awfully short.

Jorok Goldblade · Feb 17, 2017

Good solid THUD when the JoyCon Grip hit the table. I assumed that would be lightweight and cheap.
