Yes I was very happy to see it don't appear to be glued in. In fact I'm happy to see that it's such a modular design that even the micro sd slot & game card slot's are replaceable. Appears the flash memory is also on it's own board. The metal shield over the board will add much structural integrity. Nintendo not only designed this to be a sleek adult looking device but a fairly kiddie proof one as well. I'm getting more excited for this thing by the day.
Switch is confirmed to use the eShop, so yes. You can probably assume the Switch will share a balance with your 3DS and Wii U, but to be on the safe side I'd wait to redeem that card on the Switch itself.
Almost everything including iPhone will be going to type C connector. Lg and other phones already have it, the Mac and slot of new tablets.
man i hope there are tons of games to buy on the eshop day 1 for the switch.. doubt it but i can dream..... wont have nothing to play on the switch until a week later... hope to get zelda off gamefly day 1 (maybe bomberman) only games im looking at buying is
Lol leave it to gamexplain to do a 10 minute unboxing where nothing gets opened... smh. Jokes aside, I do love their in depth content. Interesting the embargo gets lifted feb 23. Hopefully nintendo drops some info on VC, and online features.

We don't even know if the online account system is going to work. Im all digital but I'm not spending money on the eShop until Nintendo shows it working on the switch.
I'm getting the Master Edition and I'm selling just the game and putting that money towards a Wii U version.
Seems cheaper in the long run to just get a Switch now. There will be some extras units available at a few retailers (Gamestop, Best Buy, etc) and of course local video game stores. But I guess that's only if the portability and enhanced visuals/sound of the Switch version appeal to you.
Do we know if they will have BotW Special Edition? I'd rather buy from Meijer than Target.
There's nothing wrong with waiting on getting a Switch. A lot of people are saying they want to wait until the fall, when it will be closer to the release of Mario Odyssey. This is perfectly reasonable.
I would agree most of the time in waiting on SE is a good idea, as most are often over produced, but based on "N" track record for this type of item, I would recommend him keeping his preorder, and getting extra if the chance presents itself.
If it's anything like the Wii U "sold out" isn't really "sold out" the pre-orders units are totally sold out.
I'm pretty sure this was sarcasm, but it might be pretty high, considering it looks like Gamestop is currently sold out:
It looks like they've changed the NNID system, and are now going by a "user ID" which you can now set on your online account.
Im not really creative when it comes to names so I might just stick with my current Nintendo ID, as my profile name. Can also happily say that my Switch and BOTW copy are paid off and now the wait for the next 11 days are gonna be brutal.
Same. Playing Zelda yesterday only intensified my hype. I got destroyed by that rock monster time and time again during my playthrough, I can't wet to get my revenge on that big ugly jerk.
I stick with the same setup so I can always remember it. I have way too much other shit to remember from work, KISS.
It is extremely unlikely that Qualcomm QuickCharge of any sort would be supported with this being developed with Nvidia and not Qualcomm. USB C does have fast charge capabilities but I don't know if the Switch will support them.
You may have answered a future GS Switch Pro Controller trade in question.
Same here, don't foresee an instance in which I'll need to charge both at the same time. That'd be a pretty strange circumstance.gonna be using that to charge the switch when undocked instead
Well gosh, I just preordered the portable charge kit for that. $50 more and I can get a pro controllergonna be using that to charge the switch when undocked instead
Thank you. Excellent catch. Saved some of us some cash.
Best buy gave Me my Xbox one on day one
I ordered through Target when they first went up for pre-order as well and according to my order status, mine will arrive between March 7-10...bummer. I'm guessing they won't be shipping mine until release day. Here's to hoping we both get ours a little sooner than the estimated March 7-10 window my account is showing.
i'd say as early as possible. who knows how many systems they'll have for non-preordered customers. maybe monitor the store as the day goes along?
Wait, your horse can die?
Try and ask your store about how many units they'll have extra. You might have some luck and get info, but maybe not. Check if they're doing a midnight launch, get there early and ask employees how the line system works for the extra consoles and just hang out.
Yeah, it's so damn sad! I just know I'm going to spend hours raising a horse and increasing our relationship and its stats and it's going to get killed.
I've been wondering the same thing. It'll stink if it shows up on the following week, but I still have hopes that it will ship on Wednesday of next week.
