Buying a new generation Nintendo hardware day one these days is the textbook definition of insanity, but good luck anyway OP.
Buying things is fun, new technology is exciting.

Unless you preordered or are able to wait in line at a store's opening time, then I wouldn't hold my breath about owning a Switch until like July.
Get ready for a rough experience as the UI, OS, and other aspects of the system will not really be refined yet.
In what sense? Only poor Nintendo launch I can think of is the 3DS but I was too fascinated by glasses free 3D to regret buying it early, I also put 50 hours into Super Street Fighter 4 so I was pretty satisfied. The droughts are pretty common but that's true for most systems, Switch seems great so far in the drought department.Buying a new generation Nintendo hardware day one these days is the textbook definition of insanity, but good luck anyway OP.
I preordered a neon Switch.
I just don't see the point of buying a system until it at least has 5-10 games I actually want.

The Nintendo console with worst first party support got Ocarina of Time.
If there is one thing that you can be sure is that the first party support will be awesome

I don't get it.
Anyone else planning on getting Hollow Knight whenever it gets released?

imagine how much smarter you'd feel if you just cancelled it and waited to see how it doesI'm glad I get to be a part of a group of early adopters for this dumb, irrational ride we've invested in.
New hardware is the best! Then add Breath of the Wild on launch day and you can't go wrong here.
I'm done with buying consoles at launch. It's fun the first few days and then the console sits there while you wait for a library to form.
All I've got on March 3rd:
Switch Console (neon)
Breath of the Wild
Pro Controller
Looking forward to Arms when that drops. Might get 1-2-Switch for company.

Letting NeoGAF hype affect your wallet is the worst thing you can do. I know being a part of a launch can seem exciting, but as soon as the honeymoon period ends it's going to be hard on you.
I bought 3DS in the launch window, and to this day I regret it, even if 3DS is one of my favorite consoles now. I bought the Wii U at launch, and I wish I never touched it. I bought Wii during launch, and while it had amazing support, I spent dozens of hours campaigning with Operation Rainfall to get Nintendo to release games on the damn thing.
I'm excited to buy a Switch whenever it gets a decent catalog, but I just hope people aren't expecting this to be any different from all of their other consoles. I can see the buyer's remorse threads on NeoGAF from a mile away.
Slightly off topic, but still within the range here:
What is considered the launch window? Is it that first week? First month? Within the first 6 months?
Because while I have a Switch preordered, I'm probably gonna cancel it and wait until August to get one.
(Sidenote: The only consoles I've owned Day 1 was the PS2 and the PS3. I sold that PS3 two weeks after camping out for 3 days for it and didn't buy another one until Jan of 2013.)
