I think it's going to be a shitfest with low production quantity leading to shortage.

Just about to go get mine. Really can't wait to play Zelda. The best buy I preordered from said they got a few extra in Stock and maybe extra controllers since I never got a preorder for pro controller.

One of two things will happen tomorrow:

1) There will be cries of outrage due to critical shortages that retards could have predicted
2) My woman will be able to walk into Target at 6PM to buy one because she doesn't really find much she likes on PS4, our Wii is ancient and she wrongly things Nintendo isn't a pile of shit because of nostalgia

Target I was going to go to says they have like 30 units available for walk-in customers tomorrow. Though eh, maybe I will just wait a week and see if the Wii U Zelda is tolerable enough to play.

Damn you Zelda. I have no time to play, and I didn't preorder the Switch after seeing the appalling reveal in January, but I'm going to swing by my local Target when they open tomorrow and see if I can snag a Switch and copy of BotW. I know my odds are slim, but I've got the itch for a good Zelda game again and this looks fantastic. Haven't bought a Nintendo console or played a Zelda game in at least 10 years.

The best buy near my had 40 that were for preorder and 80 extra for sell tonight, along with a bunch of extra accessories like pro controllers. They also got way more zelda than consoles lol, couldn't mention the numbers till now because they were being tight lipped on them.

I got my Switch at midnight, got home, and have been playing Zelda ever since. The controls take a little getting used to (lots of buttons, gets a little confusing), but the game is fun as shit so far. As far as the Switch itself, I'm amazed at just how good it feels in my hands. It's extremely light, yet feels well built and solid. The screen is the perfect size, Zelda looks gorgeous on it, and the buttons feel perfectly placed while attached. I've been playing Zelda in bed for almost an hour and a half, and never realized until tonight just how cool a next gen portable system could be. I have a trip out to St. Louis in two weeks, and I can't wait to take this with me for the flight, and my hotel room. A great purchase for $300. I think they hit the perfect middle ground. People are complaining about it being underpowered. Yes, they could've made it more powerful, but that would've bumped the price up significantly and probably scared more people off. For a portable system (and that's really what it is) it's plenty powerful. The fact that you can dock it and play it on your television is an added bonus.

Yea, so far I've been playing Zelda since I got home. Awesome. I don't really notice any frame drops or anything like that. The pro controller feels great. The controls take a bit to get used too. But having fun so far.

I've noticed some frame drops usually in the grassy areas. I haven't noticed the aliasing though, at least not as badly as I thought it'd be. Not even close.

Its supposed to be the best Zelda of all time. Let us know if it holds up to the hype in a day or so.

I got in line about 8pm tonight. About 50 people all told showed up and Best Buy had enough for all of them. I got the Switch, Zelda, a pro controller, and the joy con charge kit. Played the first area and it's off to bed for me.

The resident Nintendo fanboy at work was harassing me this morning when I said I canceled my Switch pre-order and I was upgrading my setup with a 4K TV and a PS4 Pro.
I swear those people are retarded.
"But, but, best Zelda of all time! Urrr Horizon is like every other open world game!"

Gamestop I pre-ordered from had about 55 people lined up for their pre-orders, and another 5 for the few launch units the store had.

Was able to snag a Pro controller - they only had 3 but I went in around 6 pm to finalize my pre-order and they said they could ring a Pro controller up for me.

Which is hilarious because there are hundreds of these pieces of shit available everywhere.

I'm not sure if I want to go hunting for a physical cartridge for Zelda or just go with the downloaded version. People seeing plenty of copies of Zelda at places like Target?

Online it seems everyone has the game in stock. However, I can't get a single store to say if a unit is buy online to pick up in store. Target doesn't even list the switch at all and it did yesterday.
