Pictochat and Faceraiders would've come in real handy right about now amirite?

 

[OCD Guy]

can you kill the battery and test some charging methods? See how long various methods take? You have a few weeks. Would be useful info especially is you have a power bank and such around somewhere.

I'd also be interested in standby life too.

And totally agree about charging time. Would be great to know how long it takes from empty to full charge.

It says it needs a system update when clicked on but system update gives an error message.

can you confirm any specs besides the 32GB of storage space.. Like can you can confirm if Switch has 4GB of RAM and anything else?

thanks

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.

Spoiler culture has evolved into this deep meta that I don't want any part of.

He'd have to tear down his own system and honestly I don't think he wants to risk that.

 

[psyfi]

He doesn't want that information out there so that the retailer or an employee at the retailer doesn't face any legal issues.

That's cool and legit. Thanks hiphop!

lmao this is ridiculous, I'm spoiler sensitive as hell but over an unboxing?? haha

Well done.

 

[manzoman96]

That was an amazing FIRST LOOK!

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Y'all can stop jumping down a poster's throat just because they feel like watching an unboxing video would spoil the act for him/her self. The post wasn't even angry or incendiary, jesus.

 

[Rizific]

a lot smaller than i was anticipating, which is pretty cool. dont know why it would need a larger box in the first place.

 

[ShadowFox08]

I would think the console manual would give the RAM or something.. Hmm.

The Wii U didn't do that. It's not information relevant to the consumer's troubleshooting.

 

[EBreda]

Thanks for your time, Hiphop.
So what are your overall impressions of the sku? From here it seems kinda cheap-y , bit flimsy, is that remotely true? Buttons feel solid and clicky? Mushy and soft? Does the system squeak when handling with reckless abandon? lol

I always say that, from the packaging alone, day one XB1 was much nicer than the PS4. Differences were pretty big: box was nicer, tighter, everything fitted better, there was a premium tactile feel to it, unlike the same old white cardbox used for the ps4 package. Can you type a few words about Switch's overall package impressions? I do work on that front and it's something I really appreciate.

Thanks!

[Hattori]

That's all I really wanted to see, and am happy about it. I totally hate the delay with PS4 and the sound, where it's great on Vita, but cumbersome because of the button combo.

It's insane how much faster everything is on the Switch OS compared to the PS4 so far

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

The screen looks real nice. Now I kinda want a Switch... Must resist.

Just buy it. You can't resist making the

 

[GregLombardi]

It is absolutely unacceptable that hiphoptherobot has not torn asunder his Switch and told us exactly how powerful, in measures of Gamecubes taped together, it is.

I demand that he destroy it and find out.

 

[CreepingFear]

I like the system sounds. Sounds satisfying to the ears.

 

[oatmeal]

Super incredibly disappointing that it has some music that plays when you turn it on.

There's no reason for it not to make the "SWITCH CLICK" sound and that's it.

Fuck. NINTENDO.

It might just be the GOATest system boot up of all time.

 

[hiphoptherobot]

Somebody make a gif of him failing to put the cables in

Please dont. i was so embarrassed while trying to get those in but didn't want to get closer and have my head block the camera.

 

[Busaiku]

You're a madman.

 

[hughesta]

HHR you're great thanks a bunch for all this!

 

[-MD-]

Given that it's still 2-3 weeks out from launch couldn't he sell this for like... dunno, thousands of dollars?

 

[koss424]

Isn't that the standard method of plugging anything into a computer? I mean I don't think I have ever got a USB plugged in right the first time.

 

[random25]

I wish my retailer here would ship my unit this early lol.

Just a request: Can you measure the AC adapter dimensions and the cable length? Thanks in advance!

 

[freefornow]

Let's see how it goes when a few apps or saved game states are in play.plenty of devices out there that start to have a chuggy UI once things are installed etc.

 

[HeelPower]

Fantastic packaging,very sleek Interface.

Have to admit that ,while I most likely won't buy a switch anytime soon, Nintendo did a great job here.

 

[Mideon]

First impressions when you lift the lid are awful. Packaging makes it look cheap as hell. Like a kids toy.

Lol fantastic

I think the packaging is fine. I prefer the box they're getting in Japan though. I'd display that thing.

 

[Last_colossi]

It's so beautiful, March 3rd can't come soon enough.

Thank you Hiphoptherobot and FloKO for this early sneak peek.

Lol it just looks like a console in a box. What - to you, would even look amazing in a box?

 

[WadeitOut]

PS4/PS4 Pro is worse than this IMO.

Microsoft kills it with packaging of basically any hardware products they put out now. The Day One XBO was killer.

Please tell me more. What else of the Switch is awful? I'm sure you have a list.

I'm surprised this isn't a 1000 response thread.

Thanks for the videos dude. I'm pleasantly surprised at the UI. Seems smooth and very minimal. Looks like good build quality too.

 

[koss424]

also hiphoptherobot...

 

[plidex]

I'm surprised this isn't a 1000 response thread.

That's because there's another thread.

also hiphoptherobot...

That reference has been flying over my head for a while, I only know it has something to do with the Vita.
