Yep, this is what mine said and I've got mine now.

Aight lairds. My friend code for my Switch is SW-5442-9012-6148. Add me! And set your name as your forum name so I know who you are!

My Amazon order arrived!

Amazon are out for delivery and I have a functioning tracking number. Everything has worked out for me with Amazon so far, pretty happy.

Amazon order dispatched!

They haven't failed you. Amazon are sending them out today for delivery tomorrow.

It's not the industry standard for a games console. Let's not be silly.

It's madness really.

Nintendogs... lawl

I also doubt they'll want to send them to people early either. They pretty much are Nintendo and Nintendo aren't going to want to break their own street date.

Very much looking forward to Stardew Valley and the multiplayer mode.

Oh look, it's the ice key!

This was never going to be a surprise.

You mean the place where people were 'sure' they had an order because they put £50 down? Or just the online side of it? Amazon is saying "will dispatch March 2nd" and "arriving March 3rd" so as predicted, a launch day delivery.

I don't think they'll really care about the 3DS once this is out tbh. Would make no sense given this literally renders it obsolete. Most likely they are marketing Switch as a home console first and foremost (ie. screenshots with it behind the dock and a controller) since they are trying to position it as a serious console with big games and get more money for it. There's the danger where if your main marketing images show it out of the dock, people will think it's just the next handheld (since that's what it looks like), and people already have preconceptions about handheld games from Nintendo.

Two retail disc games in as many months. Good news for all - Tearaway is an excellent game.

No, you'll probably get it on release. I've got a preorder there too. If it makes you feel better, given Nintendo are launching this on March 3rd, you'd be surprised if people ordering from Nintendo themselves will get it early either. They don't want people breaking street date.

Well it doesn't have a web browser so I'm guessing so!

Cool. When can we expect Mario 64 2 and Super Mario RPG 2?

From Eurogamer impressions: Both very good things (particularly for me, since as you may know I've been calling for shakeups to various Nintendo series for years). Sounds as if it will go down a storm with Eurogamer!

There's a nice article on Eurogamer about the history of the launches of all past Nintendo consoles. Fun little read.

Here you go:

Would it? How do you know?

If it's a hardware/signal blocking problem (as that video would suggest) then it could be unpatchable.
