They may sell your preorder after 48 hours or something but if you pay in full they will wait longer for you to pick it up?

So...
Should we start a thread for those wanting to trade coloured Joy-Cons? Call it the...
Canadian OCDers Joy-Con Trading Club
You know. For those of us who look at the coloured version of the Nintendo *Snap* and ask that very simple question... "Why the f*ck doesn't the colour of the controllers match?"
Might save some of us needlessly falling into 'Tendo's "Spend Spend Spend" trap.

That's what I don't understand, I talked to someone this morning about how I'm the first to preorder in store and that I'm guaranteed one at launch but was told later that guarantee only works if the item is fully paid off.
I don't think it has anything to do with the 48 hr hold. I'm going later tonight so I'll find out more.

wait what. Get less money and costs more!? I should drive to buffalo with my WiiU, trade it in for a switch, drive back, only $200 USD spent, wonder what the customs fee would be.

So you'll want two right controllers or two left controllers? I don't think that's how it works...

Same for me. I hope we get more games reveal soon.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Canadian people actually want this thing lol?
$400 for a handful of games at launch
Paid online with 1 NES/SNES game for a monthly only
$100 controllers
Gimped handheld (cant even get 3 hours with Zelda)
Gimped console (cant even do 1080p docked with Zelda)
More shovelware like 1 2 Switch and Arms
Barebones lineup for 2017
Not only does Nintendo hate Canadians but it seems you hate yourselves if you buy this. I mean I actually like my Wii U but the Switch is on a whole nother level of fail.

Apparently the 150 credit for 3DS is only the new XL.
Anyone know what they give for the regular xl?

Probably one of the dumbest statements I've read since the Switch reveal.

how dare people want something you don want, fuck off
They confirmed on Twitter that it's still March 3. I can't find the exact tweet, but this is close:

Don't worry, once the influx of early adopters have all gotten their systems, these things aren't gonna be flying off the shelves.
Could you be a little more specific on that?
I think the prices are totally ridiculous, yes. I want something I can play with my GF and my family though. Some of the stuff is simple enough or novel in a way that other consoles and controllers don't offer.
I'll be grabbing 1 2 Switch, Bomberman, and Snipperclips right off the bat to play with them.

Sword is horrible.
I got $100 in credit when I traded my OG XL for a New XL last year. Wouldn't expect more than that

By dumb you mean brutally honest? Its a dumb system backed by dumb policies.
Did I hurt your feelings NintendoBox?

So, what exactly are the differences between Zelda Switch and Wii U? Does anyone here know?
your post is a lot shittier... at least he is trying to quantify.
its 400 plus tax which is 451 here.
Crawl in a hole fan boy to feel better.
I really want Mario however the whole Brooklyn park is not sitting well with me....
why not Mario Galaxy 3!!!
No, I mean dumb. To suggest that people hate themselves because they made a purchase. That's dumb.
Blame Trudeau. Our websites were just not ready j/k
Locked frame rate I would assume? The switch is 900p while WiiU is 720p.

Subete no aware
I think I'm just going to wait for the first bundle. I'm hoping they do something for Splatoon or MK, because if it's 400 + one of those games, I guess I could justify it.
To clarify, I wasn't talking about his whole post, but the part that I put in bold.
Wow.
So you can only pre-order the red and blue version and it's exclusive to prime members ? Really Amazon ? REALLY ?

Oups I missed it. Why didn't they send me an email ? I signed up to receive an email alert when preorder were made available.
So far, it seems the Wii U is 720p while Switch is 900p on the dock and 720p on the tablet.
I'd like a coloured sku but I don't trust Amazon to deliver in time.
Well I am just defending the other guy who posted stuff with prices.

Now now, thats OK. If people want to be excited for this thing then let them.
I at least tried to give reasons why I dont think its not worth it but I got hit with the "dumb statement" and "fuck off" replies. I shouldnt have said people hate themselves if they buy this and Ill apologize for that.
I wish you all the best, Ill go discuss my opinions in another thread.
very nice... you feel better for telling him to fuck off?
Damn, missed the grey model.
Im so torn. I want to like the Switch and enjoy Nintendo Nin but there aren't any games and feels overpriced. No Mario Party, no Animal Crossing. only really Zelda that I really want and then later on Mario? Seems way too far.
I feel like I should just cancel my pre-order. Its a complete ripoff.
I'll wait, get it during the holidays or something when there are packed in games or I have a better idea in 2018 whats coming out.
