    Did anyone watch the unveiling last night? $299.99 at launch, on March 3rd.

    I'm going to pass on it, the only launch game unveiled was the new Zelda game, which also comes out on the Wii U the same day.

    Nintendo's online service will be pay to play come Fall, but you need a smart device app to use invites, party chat, etc.?? That's a MAJOR fail to me.

    For me this is the Wii U all over, an underpowered device with poor support. I'll wait until the price drops.

    And, in classic Nintendo fashion, preorders are already sold out ... willing to bet inventory will slowly trickle out, like molasses running uphill in January.

    The more Ive read about it the more I'm glad that I'm not going to bother buying it any time soon. The severe lack of games screams Wii U for me. 4 games on launch day, 4. 2 are ports of games that have already been released elsewhere, 1 is the new Zelda (which will be out on Wii U on the same day) and the other is that ARMS game.

    The accessory prices are outrageous as well.

    Hardware limitation (compared to x1 and ps4) does not bother me as much as the weak launch line-up.
    Not launching with a Mario game? Wtf are you thinking Nintendo?!
    And the only third party support being Skyrim, which is a 5 yeard old game, and Fifa...
    The presentation was dumb. Showing off motion controls again... God damn it, NO ONE GIVES A SH!T.

    However, Mario Odyssey and Zelda looks absolutely fakkin amazing!!
    That to me warrants a purchase without thinking twice about it!

    The music/orchestra is really powerful. And cant get over how amazing it looks, the art style is just spot-on. This is going to be the biggest and most epic Zelda game to date!

    Did you get a micro SD card? I got 200 gb Sandisk sd card for my Switch.
    I plan to buy all the "big" releases retail, and then use the SD card for the smller Indie titles. Gonna buy Shovel Knight now. I heard Snipperclips is allso quite fun.

    Been very busy so only started playing botw yesterday. It looks breathtaking. The game looks like all the art covers out there. The graphics look like art.
    I was in the great plateu for 4-5 hours, just taking it all in.
    This game will probably take me a year to finish. Lol

    Switch has a meager line-up of games, theres not much to play, but that gets totally compensated when you have a game like breath of the wild. This game will swallow all my gaming time. :D
    Also got Shovel Knight and Snipperclips.

    Played like 20 hours of Zelda now. Solved around 20 shrines and spent a lot of time exploring and unlocking the map. And I havent touched the main story yet. Havent even reached Impa (which is the first mission after you get the paraglider and get off the great plateu)

    Good bye social life lol :p
