Serebii Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 Also, we are planning it so that friends from social networking services will be listed as candidates, too. In the future, you will be able to send a friend request to friends associated with your NNID (Wii U/Miiverse) and Nintendo 3DS. In some games you will be able to use an in-game interface to send friend requests. http://www.polygon.com/2017/3/2/14792066/nintendo-switch-friend-code-response
Mr-Paul Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 So you'll be able to add via NNID, but not the new Nintendo account name we all set up the other day? That seems so illogical! Also, do we know for sure that the friend code we will get is linked to the account rather than to the actual console? So if you log in to another Switch console, you will have the same code?
Dyson Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Finally got shipping confirmation from NUK. Me too!! Oh FUCK off. On one hand their email earlier reassures me, but then again, it also says 48 hours tracked on the email. I'm hoping beyond hope that this is a mistake.. but now have to spend the next day wondering "will it? Won't it?!"
Dcubed Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 https://mobile.twitter.com/mrbiffo/status/837369356631818245 Not looking good for us who ordered from Amazon...
Happenstance Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Mine all still say arriving tomorrow. Who knows when that person ordered or where they live in relation to depots.
Nicktendo Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 My accessories and 1-2 Switch still say arriving tomorrow and haven't dispatched yet. Maybe they don't have prime and that's why it says Saturday?
nekunando Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 What's the current status of your GAME bundle, @Eddage? I got my dispatch email today but there's no tracking number and it says it's 2 working days with free courier. It doesn't exactly fill me with confidence in relation to a delivery tomorrow

Aaaaand breathe again.. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/03/official_nintendo_uk_store_reassures_customers_on_day_one_switch_deliveries All console orders are being dispatched Next Day Delivery - today, using a combination of couriers. The reason that confirmation emails are displaying a date other than the 03.03 is because for a pre-order, only standard delivery is available, as the time we take to dispatch can vary by product. Customers should not be concerned as no consoles are being dispatched on standard delivery - all Next Day.
Rummy Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 So you'll be able to add via NNID, but not the new Nintendo account name we all set up the other day? That seems so illogical! Also, do we know for sure that the friend code we will get is linked to the account rather than to the actual console? So if you log in to another Switch console, you will have the same code? It's actually quite confusing to me at the moment now. Obviously I'm sure it'd make more sense if I had my hands on a Switch; but it's another thing that sounds a bit messy and puts me off! Wouldn't be enough by itself as it's quite small really but add it in with other bits and I feel worried for the system...
killthenet Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I jumped the gun somewhat earlier, the email I got said it would be shipped today, not that it had shipped. The progress bar on the website still says 'Awaiting Dispatch' so I'm still not sure whether i'll get it tomorrow or not. Apparently they can dispatch packages up to 10pm so there is still some hope.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 This is the time when the world starts to tremble and the evening sky is a crimson impending doom-red... its an absolute pleasure to be sharing these moments with you guys. If we've had any disputes, beef or whatnot lets bury the hatchet and go into this new gen arm in arm. Feels so effing good to be alive about now... was cycling home defensively from work to ensure I reach this moment lol.

Falcon_BlizZACK Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Mate the new gen started in 2013. btw Are you sorted with the Switch and BOTW? Or getting it tomorrow, if at all?
Hurio64 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Well it's a Nintendo launch with one of the most well reviewed video games of all time. We're bound to all be Haha very true, I'm going to have play Pokemon moon and super Mario 3D world until it arrives. Result house to myself tomorrow morning though.
Clownferret Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 What those breeze blocks that sit under and are tethered to your TV. No mate the world has moved on, industry standard is a completely mobile console, if only Sony and Microsoft would get with the times.
Ronnie Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Nintendo adding new friending methods for the Switch, post launch
Ashley Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 btw Are you sorted with the Switch and BOTW? Or getting it tomorrow, if at all? Can't say too much due to NDAs but just wait and see Good news everybody You can now add Switch Friend Codes to your profile by going to User CP > Edit Your Details. The one I've added is to test/demonstrate and not actually my friend code.
Eddage Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 What's the current status of your GAME bundle, @Eddage? I got my dispatch email today but there's no tracking number and it says it's 2 working days with free courier. It doesn't exactly fill me with confidence in relation to a delivery tomorrow Mine was dispatched earlier today via DPD next day delivery. Will get a one hour time slot in the morning.
nekunando Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Mine was dispatched earlier today via DPD next day delivery. Will get a one hour time slot in the morning. Hmm.. It seems a little strange/unfair that I didn't get something similar
Agent Gibbs Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 My Nintendo uk order has shipped.......with Yodel? Oh crap could it be a worse courier? Hermes is better
dazzybee Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Still staggered the friend adding situation is. It's so so bad. Even the update is pretty terrible. All the nnid and Nintendo do accounts stuff is awful as it is, too many things, too confusing, and they are saying we can add players via nnid (though presume it just recommends people rather than adding them via it) and not the new Nintendo account designed specifically for switch. It blows my mind that Nintendo has done this. It's so dumb.... why not just have an add user ID? It's so basic. So obvious. I need to try and forget as it's souring things slightly....
