No one knows. And I'd say a new product means more demand early on as much as the opposite.

I don't know if anyone brought this up, but there was discussion earlier about using other USB-C chargers, and this is in a recent Ars Technica article:
I think it might be best just to buy a Nintendo branded AC adapter so it won't charge slowly, and you don't risk draining your battery life, don't you think?
Also does Zelda save your game directly to the cart, the 32gb system memory, or additional storage memory card? I'm pretty sure it's inevitability that I'm going to have to buy a new version of the system sometime down the line. I want to make sure saves can be transferred easily.

Seriously, I know this is CAG but just buy the branded stuff for the brand new console that people are dropping 3 bills on.

Game carts are read only. SD cards can't be used until day 1 patch but no reason to believe you can't save to them or the internal memory

I would guess it'll be the same as 3DS where games mostly save to carts, but then some don't because... Reasons. And the system memory/cards are for digital games or "extra data" like patches/DLC/whatever.

Hey calismasker, did your store get all of their stock in already? As in games, systems LEs ect? I'm mostly interested on if you got the preordered master editions in yet. Also are you east/west coast/middle to try and gauge when stores will be getting them in. Thanks for all the help so far here!

I can't find it right now but Nintendo said that game saves will be stored locally in system memory. That may change with the Day 1 patch, may not.
Nevermind, found it.
"If no microSDXC card is used, everything is stored in internal NAND memory. If a microSDXC card is used, game save data is stored in internal NAND memory while data that can be redownloaded, such as digital games, game updates, and DLC, is stored on the microSDXC card. Nintendo Switch game cards are non-writable; game save data is stored in internal NAND memory."
Direct qoute from Nintendo.

Hopefully the saves can at least be backed up to the sd cards

Only games we got in are Bomberman and Slylanders. Accessories we got in a couple of Zelda case bundle things and pro controllers

Do you guys think the Switch will actually sell out or will I be able to walk into the store at launch and buy one off the shelf?

I wonder if Nintendo is avoiding saves/backups to the SD card because of all the hacking that happened on the 3DS.
At least in my state people are still recovering from that, safe to say depending on where you live you can just walk in and get one.
3 months after Christmas?

I plan to get the Pro controller later on, likely once Splatoon 2 hits. That is if the problem is fixable with a patch. I could afford the Pro controller now, but I rather wait since I'm already spending so much. Getting the Switch, the Master Edition of BotW, Bomberman R, Snipperclips, and Fast RMX at launch, plus The Binding of Isaac two weeks later. (That's not to mention games like Horizon, NieR, and Mass Effect: Andromeda on PS4.) Would rather not have to buy the Pro controller now.
And yes, if the problem isn't fixable with a patch I won't pick up the system mostly due to the principle of the thing. I'm not paying $300+ for a system that has faulty controllers. Even if there's a recall and Nintendo offers new ones free of charge. I won't support that at launch. I don't think any of us should. We shouldn't reward bad behavior.

I'm wondering how soon you will be able to find a pro controller since they seemed so popular and in short supply when preordering. I am thinking of canceling my order since I used $5 cash(petty I know, but I also put $50 cash down on my switch preorder) and then wait to get a pro controller when they are readily available.
Last edited by a moderator:
both. Quantities will be abundant on launch day and then it should sell out in a day or two. Once the shelves are empty then suddenly everyone will want one, and they'll have to wait until the first restock.
These Zelda reviews are going to make demand spike in the coming week. Gamers everywhere are going to get jealous as soon as they start seeing people playing Zelda in public.

Anyone think Nintendo would partner up with an indie developer to create a 2D Metroid for the Switch? They clearly have no interest in making Metroid games themselves, but the demand is obviously there, as well as the growing relationship with multiple smaller developers who specialize in that type of game.
I doubt anything would be announced during their upcoming "Nindie" broadcast, but the fact they have broadcasts specifically for indie games leads me to believe it's not out of the question.

Damn dude. I canceled my Nioh, Beserk & Resident evil 7 preorders just to have time to dedicate to Horizon & Zelda. You sir are a true gamer. :bow:
Bad Omen. Sony did that with the Vita, they shorted pins a certain way to require specific chargers. But a third party will come to the rescue eventually.

That would be awesome. They should just release AM2R on Switch, I'd probably buy it lol.

Zelda is the only reason I want one at launch now. I was thinking Horizon Zero Dawn could give me my Zelda fix but nah. The more I see of it the less impressed I am. Just looks like Far Cry Primal with robots. BOTW looks like a once in a generation type of game.

I would have to say no, because at this point they're clearly refusing to do so out of spite.
True, but we've seen before that spite won't keep them away from piles of money too long. Would theoretically not be a huge financial risk, either. One of their big launch games is a game developed by an indie studio, so it seems like they'll be doing more of this in the future.
Not to mention they could take what would normally be a $15-20 indie game, slap Metroid on it, and charge $25-30.

Zero Mission was over a decade ago, man. The Wii and Wii U came and went in the time since we got a proper 2D 'Troid. If they never got desperate enough to do it during the last few years, I don't think they ever will. The most we can hope for is them trying to cut a middle ground like Other M again.
Personally, any hope of them treating the brand with any respect at all disappeared with the announcement of Federation Force. If they're willing to slap the Metroid name on that, they clearly don't give a single shit about it anymore.

Not true, but ok. Every time I posted a valid criticism of nintendo I got labeled a troll just like chris. You guys are being dicks to him just because you don't agree. If you have such a problem with his or my posts, block us you dunce.All that you have done in this thread is complain about people complaining about people complaining. Get a new schtick. You can't pretend you're just here for innocent conversation and then also call everyone "
I'm not even a fan of the 2D games(I want a new Prime game) but I still think it's hilarious if they're completely ignoring the fanbase. I think some representative said they made Federation Force because of the demand for another Metroid game. They simply don't understand much outside of the corporate cultural. There is seemingly a class system and the guys up top can't be bothered by the little people, because the devs say stuff like they KNOW there is demand, but none of their bosses care
Yeah, but I'd at least HOPE they recognize the overwhelming negative reaction that got. If nothing else, I'm sure the sales showed it. Same with Other M.
But then after Federation Force they did this whole rolling out the red carpet for Axiom Verge (they really went all out), which seems to have done well enough to warrant a physical release on Wii U. I gotta imagine there's at least someone in their offices who realizes that's just money waiting to be made there.

Chris has provided plenty to the general conversation besides being critical of nintendo. He has never told any one how to spend their money, or that they shouldn't buy the system.

I'm willing to bet we get a new, true 2D Metroid game next year. Whether they announce it at E3 or what, who knows, but with Retro making DKC Returns as a side scroller, I think that may be a good indication with what they have planned for Metroid. God, I'd be so hyped for that.

I know they did this in the past and stopped it (cause people were bringing systems back every 2 years and demanding a new system, at least locally they went to repair the system or replaced with a used system...

Ha ha, thanks, but I should make clear that I'm not even picking up Horizon at release date just so I can dedicate time to Zelda. I don't want to have to rush through either of those games. And I'll likely play NieR and Mass Effect: Andromeda before Horizon, as I'll probably need those as a palette cleanser since both Horizon and BotW are so similar and are both huge open worlds.

how does it work then cause i called 2 different ones and that is what they told me .... that you would get a brand new system if not you get your 300 back .... if the system price falls (say switch is 149 ) they would give you new system + 150

I noticed that, they throw insults then claim they want to be adults & talk things out.You call me a crybaby (for what exactly?) and then go on to claim you want healthy, meaningful conversation. Okay.
You should check out the Gamespot (I think) preview, they discuss going from Horizon directly to Zelda and they say players don't need to worry about being burnt out and how they're different experiences. Zelda being more exploration whereas Horizon is a bit smaller and more linear and story/lore-based.
