    I must say I've MANY concerns but am still sliding down the buy side of the fence on my Switch pre-order & have have yet to cancel.
    I've zero interest in anything other than Breath of The Wild that has yet been announced (at least that we'll see anytime soon) am worried about battery life, game/peripheral cost, size/usability of the Joy con's, third party support going forward, peripheral ergonomics/build quality etc (the list goes on & ON!) BUT am still interested.. go figure!

    Anyone else here?.. please help me feel a little better!

    I'm not sure we need a new thread for this, but yes. I have one pre-ordered with Zelda and 1 2 Switch. Will have some money spare for a couple of digital games, too.

    If you can't make up your mind with the information that's available out there now, I don't know why you'd expect others to make up your mind for you.

    Yeah i've pre-ordered. Zelda day one, and for me at least plenty to look out for in the immediate launch months. (Fast, Arms, a few multi plat indies depending on performance/portability like Shovel knight, Rime, I am setsuna amongst a few others. Hopefully Lego city will come sooner than later as well as i missed that. So for me at least i can see getting use out of it.

    Hope there is a os/online direct before launch.

    As virtually all the consoles have been Preordered and taken, I expect there's a fair few people who have Preordered them

    Wherever Nintenmongs are, you're certain to find a Cappy close by, trying to sniff their bums or fuck a discarded football

    I will almost certainly get one for Christmas.

    hopefully there are some good JRPGs out by then, or its hacked so we can run emulators on it

    Pre-ordered

    I work all day at a desk so pc gaming has lost its appeal. Neither of the current consoles have anything I really want and I haven't bought a console on release since the SNES.

    I've pre-ordered a Grey console and Zelda Limited Plastic Sword edition from GAME (where there isn't much money to save buying elsewhere thanks to some reward points I had), and Bomberman R from Shopto as I had some credit to put towards it.

    I also plan on buying a Pro Controller, a Neon Joycon pack, 1 2 Switch, Just Dance 2017, a Charging Grip, a case of some description, maybe Neon straps for the Joy Cons and probably Skylanders because the character creator lets you play as Dog-faced Knight ;) None of that feels like stuff I want day one though, so that'll just be when I can get them. No need to get everything immediately after all, I'll be happy with a couple of game and the console to start with.

    If I may ask, why 2 Pro Controllers? I take it combined with the Joy Cons you want 4 full controllers in total for 4 player Mario Kart or Bomberman lols? That'd make sense.

    2 pro controllers for street fighter mainly. I have 2 for the Wii U and they always get used for most games.

    Nobody has preordered a Switch. In the unlikely chance that someone has lost control of their mental faculties and done so, the number for the Samaritans is 116 123.

    I do need a new tablet but I want one which can run Netflix
