AC:NH Special Edition Switch!!!

[thegunpowderincident]

ok got my preorder for the console+game down. hopefully it'll stick

though does anyone know if the more recent switch models ever fixed up the issue of the dock damaging the screen without a protector that the earlier release switches had? I didn't grab me a protector for now, since I would've had to pay shipping fees for that. though if the dock isn't an issue anymore, I may just not bother at all. since I've never had a problem with my electronics screens getting damaged, myself

From what I've heard, they did at some point make changes to the dock in an effort to prevent scratching. Personally, I'm still going to get a screen protector anyway. Since it's a limited edition console, a ~$10 screen protector is worth it to me to prevent any damage. The Switch scratches more easily in general, because the screen is plastic and not gorilla glass like a lot of smartphones are.

i just preordered mine and my friends at gamestop. im selling my ordinary switch for 150 to my friend. however... i only saw one other user concerned about this, but why is US gamestop not selling out? when i asked what quantity they had left they had no idea, and just said all they know is they are still available. what if they accept way too many orders and most of them get the chop? ill feel a lot more comforted if they sell out at some point between now and release, because itll meam there was some sort of static quantity. has anyones local gamestop sold out to their knowledge?

I don't even own a Switch yet and I got a screen protector and joycon covers for Christmas

Was it ever available on Amazon US? It?s seems they?re not accepting any pre-orders for now. I?m wondering if it?s the same since they?ve put it on Amazon or they ran out of supply?

Seeing the back of those joycons makes me want white joycons with black buttons

This thing went faster than I hoped... I am not a preorder kind of guy, I like to go in and buy on release date. I hope I can still get one..

Went to Gamestop this morning and pre-ordered the AC Switch and the ACNH game. So excited! WHY isn't it March 20th already??

 

[pocky]

I was torn since I already have the Let's Go! Pikachu Eevee Switch... but ended up pre-ordering it anyway because it's selling out everywhere and I don't want to regret not getting it later.

I can never apply screen protectors.
I always screw them up.

I wonder if EB Games would apply it before shipping it.

Before shipping it, no. You could always take your Switch and the screen protector to one of those cell phone booths in the mall, and I'm sure they'd do it for a small fee.

Not an option for me.
Since I've given them $600+ I'm sure they could do it if they wanted to.

Your 600$ go to the company, not to the one employee packing your order. I doubt they'll do anything that isn't exactly the task they're paid for - especially since they'd have to open your console's box (which they would never do) and make themselves accountable for the smallest scratch since the package wouldn't be sealed anymore when you get your hands on it.

Of course they could do it if they wanted to, but no one wants to be held accountable for an unsealed console.

That's not really how it works. You've "given" them $600 in exchange for goods. They're only obligated to provide that for which you've paid, nothing else.

Yeah, I'm not asking them to donate blood to me. I'd pay them. :-/

Was it ever available on Amazon US? It’s seems they’re not accepting any pre-orders for now. I’m wondering if it’s the same since they’ve put it on Amazon or they ran out of supply?

according to what i've seen online amazon US preorders ran out like 30-40 minutes after they went up. they're currently unavailable and likely will stay that way unless some people cancel. amazon doesn't charge until shipment (unless you put giftcard money towards it) which is probbaly why preorders only stayed open for such a short time.

if you want that switch better find another online store that delivers!

 

[AnEndlessOcean]

Does anyone think there's gonna be any drop of demand for the tablet portion? I'm seriously considering preordering the US release so I don't have to worry about complications of importing the dock & joy-cons ://

I've pre-ordered from Walmart but I trust Amazon US to ship it safely to Dubai without forwarding it to US P.O. box, which takes a lot of time I assume. I still have a chance with Play-Asia.

people seem to really want either just the joycons or the whole deal with this one. but i wouldn't bet on people selling only the tablet portion as i rarely see that on the secondhand market even for the normal switch. someone might want it for repairs though.

paying the price of importing the dock and joycons with tax and shipping and everything is already expensive enough from the US to japan. it would probably be in your best interest to just buy a US bundle and have a spare switch tablet body just in case.

Just pre-ordered mine from Amazon US as well as the game. No nifty bonus goodies like some other sites but I like that I don't have to pay till it ships. Now, just waiting for a US dealer to list this Hori hard case.

 

[lizardon]

So US Amazon has Pre-order now, I'm going to get from Amazon since I have some gift card left, enough for me to get a switch
