I paid good money for this Dynex!
Console - $300
Pro Controller - $70
Zelda - $60
Bomberman R - $60

I think that's it. Might pass on Bomberman until a price drop. So... $430-490.

Forced to get a GameStop bundle. So $560 with taxes and shipping and another $20 for a charging the Joycon. Too much but I love Zelda and I want access to it on the go.

Console-$300
Pro Cotnroller $70 (or $30 charger grip if I can't get a pro controller preordered).
Zelda $47 (GCU)

So $378-418.

Not counting 3 BOTW Amiibo I have preordered. Those are another $38ish after GCU discount.

Push 7% sales tax on everything.

$720 and that doesn't include an extra micro SD Card.

System, Botw, botw special, botw master, neon blue joycons, joycon charging grip, blue straps for joycons.

If pro controller is a thing at launch, then 790, but i've been unable to preorder it.

Why is everyone buying extra joy cons?

So i can have them charging while i'm playing with the other pair.

And also because I suspect they might be in short supply like the wii remotes were at Wii Launch. And I'll need them EVENTUALLY and they likely won't ever go on sale (wii remotes are STILL 40 bucks)

Console. Zelda. Pro Controller so I've got one and I don't spend the next 3 years coming sideline getting one. So that's... £395 currently, adding up my preorders.

I'd get an extra joycon set and grip but until Mario Kart or arms, there's no real reason but honest with myself I don't need more than Zelda, will keep me busy until the end of March.

That is about it. I'll grab a SDXC card and a Pro controller later. Maybe a carrying case/bag.

On day one, I'm just getting the neon console and the Zelda SE. However, my birthday just happens to be March 13th. I'll be asking family and my fiancé for things like a pro controller, a decently sized MicroSD, and maybe another game or two.

Console (grey) £140 - doing game's "trade in Xbox 1 s and get the switch for half price" deal (also applies to PS4 slim and a couple of other things I think). Never use my One as my PS4 pro is my main "western" console.

Zelda BOTW - £47.99

None myself, but a friend was telling me she's placed about £576 in pre-orders. I'm guessing that's all the launch games and an extra set of controllers.

Just the console and Zelda, for now. I already have a 64GB microSD card I can use, and I don't need any extra controllers or anything.

Might buy a carrying case though...

But they have a 20+ hour life. Just make sure to hook up the controller when you aren't using it half of the time and you should be more than good. Unless you are planning on playing a lot of split screen games, I just can't see the point.

Probably just the console and BOTW day 1. I'm not the most demanding of gamers so generally my need for accessories is slim. Will play it by ear. More interested in the games and I figure Zelda will keep me busy for a good few months.

Console, Zelda and most probably a 200 GB sdxc. Then I will take the rest of the day off to play Zelda somewhere in the wild. Just for kicks. Courtesy a 20000 mAh external battery of course.
