    I guess it is about time you contact whoever you bought it from. But I don't know play much games now. Too busy. I usually go with online PC games as they are free to play.

    I contacted the store several times already. They haven't received a shipment. Well, they did, but only for grey consoles. I ordered a neon one. >_<

    I've been playing the occasional free online PC games too, but man, many aren't any fun at all. I checked out a few MMO's and what the heck? Why are there so many games that play themselves? I haven't done anything and I'm already level 23. You can't find items in pots. You can't cut the grass. You have to pay $10 each level for fancy gear (aka gear with slightly different color), and the game throws in-game upgrade ads at you every 5 minutes.

    After a while I decided that I'd rather pay upfront to get a 'whole' game. :\ (yes, Zelda has DLC, still not micro-transactions though)

    Also did try a few paid games on Steam. Found out I Really don't like to navigate with a mouse and keyboard.

    Yea online game like MMORPG are all about grinding. At least my first one was awesome. Although it may not be the most advance compare to games of its time, but I had fun with the people I met and my guild.

    It'll be just like the Wii. You'll have to wait a while, but it will all be worth it in the end. If you by a plastic cover, check it first, one of the plastic covers was recalled, as it eroded the screen.

    It was recalled and refunded, maybe they removed the articles.

    I don't need a protector, but when I plan to go anywhere, I'll buy a case.

    I already did buy a plastic case. Well, it's probably not the one that got recalled, since it took me nearly two weeks / until the end of last week just to get the case (-everything- was sold out the first time I went to the store. It was like they never started selling the Switch in the first place xD ).

    Ah well, at least I only got hyped After the game and console came out. Must have been hell for those who pre-ordered and waited months for theirs to arrive.

    I also got my hands on the physical copy of botw.
    But if it takes too much longer I will try to go play the emulator on the pc. Cause it has been laying in my room for 3 weeks already.

    I think there's another thread for this <.<;; probably two in fact
    but I think it'll basically replace the DS line and console+handheld will be forever merged for nintendo.
    I think this because clearly all the innovations previously were leading up to this.

    Also, this forum is one of the less game enthusiast forums I've ever seen on the internet, just an FYI

    Nintendo is focused on the handheld market. They made a cool gaming iPad that had attachable controllers and connects to your tv. They lost the console wars, but always won the handheld race. This new system is everything Nintendo has been doing right the last 20 years.... Handheld and younger market. Nintendo will do better than expected with the switch. It's. $400 super Gameboy.

    wait more than 5 minutes before double posting to bump your own thread

    regarding the console itself, I don't have one yet. I think it's a step in the right direction for the future of gaming consoles tho, given that PCs will slowly take over the market.

    Perfectly normal and reasonable. I also bought my PS3 because of "The Last of Us" in the past, console exclusive titles should be one of the few reasons to buy a console.
