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

With all the tech inside it I would've been very surprised if it was lightweight.

The grip is just a piece of plastic though.

Ahhh, need a YouTube mirror.

 

[ChrisD]

Thanks for the video, hiphoptherobot!


Also I just randomly remembered that kid who was camping out a week or two ago to be the "first" to get Switch. Wonder how he's feeling right now rofl.

 

[Votron]

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

I know, right? Like wtf has the world come to..

whats the relationship between FloKO and hiphoptherobot?

You're probably the only one who remembered lol

With thousands of more followers, rare Nintendo gifts, and apparently a girlfriend.

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.

Hey man thanks for sharing all of this with us.

Quick question...does the Switch logo and chime appear every time when you completely power down & power on? Or is it just a 1-time thing when you turn it on for the first time or after initializing the system?

 

[Brinbe]

Slick. Can't wait to get mine soon.

 

[foltzie1]

that's why there's a mirror

Thank you kindly for having a non-flash mirror.

Nevertheless, Flash? Seriously FloSports, what year did you create your website?

 

[Speely]

hiphoptherobot: Thanks so much, bud. You deserve a tag fo sho.

Many of us asked him to do that. Also he can test the Bluetooth headsets and see how the settings are when docked.

Screenshot is nice and quick

Personally, I think he should mail it to me so he doesn't have to bother with our requests. I can take over, it's not a problem...

whats the relationship between FloKO and hiphoptherobot?

They are both members of GAF and the guy from FloKo PMed HipHop about providing content for a video that FloKo would host.

I'll fund that!

why? what was wrong with vid.me?

And a monitor stand has tech inside it? I don't know what you're getting at.

....why not?

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

It was accidentally shipped to him? Holy shit, that's a crazy fuck up lol.

 

[Boke1879]

Thing looks slick as hell. Can't wait to get mine.

One thing I hope this does is help revive split screen gameplay. Can't wait to play this with friends and fam when Splatoon and Mario Kart come out.

 

[alr1ght]

why? what was wrong with vid.me?

I'm hoping hiphoptherobot was paid handsomely, as I'm sure all those hits are generating quite a bit of revenue.

 

[Richie]

What stands out to me is...No MyNintendo code included, huh? The NES Classic had one, you'd think the Switch would too...

I'm hoping it will revive lightgun games, myself. Let's get a new Point Blank game, Namco!

 

[Cuburt]

I was expecting the unboxing to do something like verify whether the grip is a charging grip that can be plugged in or if it's just a piece of plastic. It was a pretty uneventful unboxing. I mean, we already know what the dock and joycon look like and all the pieces it comes with.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

And a monitor stand has tech inside it? I don't know what you're getting at.

I'm saying just because the basic grip that holds the Joycons together is a piece of plastic has no bearings on the joycon's tech making it weighty, same logic with the plastic (and metal) stand of a computer monitor has no bearings on the tech inside a monitor making THAT weighty.

 

[Wired All Wrong]

Maybe it's done automatically when you link your Nintendo account?

It's just a plastic Grip. We've known this for a month now.

HipHop brought us an emergency Direct 😭

A great point! Yes that'd make more sense.

But the Joy-Cons weren't in the grip. I think you're talking about something else.

He wouldn't be the first anyway, due to time zones.

 

[big_z]

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

Makes me wonder if some switch games are up on the eshop.

 

[Shaanyboi]

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.

Spoilerphobia is already dumb enough without people attributing it to shit that aren't fucking spoilers.

 

[CharminUltra]

Was it, tho?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

No yeah I misread that person's thing entirely, thought they only said Joycon.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

But the Joy-Cons weren't in the grip. I think you're talking about something else.

I think what he means is, the Grip has to be sturdy enough to support the Joy Cons. So even though it had no Joy Cons in it, it's good to hear it sounded strong enough?

EDIT: Or not

Nah.

 

[Speely]

whats the relationship between FloKO and hiphoptherobot?

They are lovers.

 

[kizmah]

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

Back in the day I bought my Gamecube without a game. Eternal Darkness came out the week after and I could only afford one game so I had to wait. For 7 days I had that beautiful new console at home and all I could do was to get mezmerized by the amazing boot up animation. It was torture.

 

[Seil]

No yeah I misread that person's thing entirely, thought they only said Joycon.

That stealth edit >.<

 

[EloquentM]

It was accidentally shipped to him? Holy shit, that's a crazy fuck up lol.

Accidentally as in he paid for it and it shipped early. Yes it's a massive oversight.

He doesn't need to verify that when it's been confirmed countless times it's not the charging grip

 

[Verder]

BLESS you

The next 2 weeks are gonna be painful.
