AC:NH Special Edition Switch!!!

[John Wick]

I don't think so. I believe they are more so integrated into the coating, so they won't wear off.

Oh, thank you for that!

I don't need another Switch, but damn I need this so badly!

Ok thanks for the info, I originally quoted the person above who said there were no pro controllers, but wasn't sure if these counted or not.

No problem

The only issues with them is that these have no rumble, gyro or nfc reader hence the lower price tag

 

[LambdaDelta]

clearly, they're a "pro-lite" controller

Bought a switch preparing for AC and of course a couple days later they announce this. Freaking Nintendo...

 

[nearthy]

I just bought ∑d(?∀?d)

Looks like Bestbuy and Amazon are already out of stock of the AC special edition Switch in the USA!

Just saw that it's now available on Amazon Germany, but I've decided to not let the hype get to me. 380? (about 420 USD) is a little too much for my taste. Even though we get a download code, we're basically paying the price for two extra games. I'd rather buy the Joy-Cons separately and "miss out" on the dock that's just gonna sit in a corner of my bedroom anyway.

I pre-ordered mine today at Gamestop! I'm so excited. I have been holding out on buying a Switch this whole time, because I KNEW there would be a special edition Animal Crossing one. I was actually expecting it to be a Lite, so I guess I get to check out the full Switch experience!

 

[Nougat]

I'm definitely getting the K.K Slider pro controller, it's just too cute! But still doubting on what to get for console..
I'll play on my husband's Switch at first since he won't have time to play ACNH for the first month/6 weeks after its release, so I can start on his system & use that time to find out whether I really want to be able to play on a TV screen or not. Afterwards I'll just make up my mind and see whether I'll get the special edition Switch (I'm hoping for some second hand deals already then) or a second hand one which I can deck out with Animal Crossing decals. Or if I don't need the option to play on the TV screen, the Pok?mon special edition Switch Lite, which looks SO nice too! I looked into how we can make this work & I should be able to just transfer all my game data to my new console, so my husband can reset the game on his console and start his own town.

looks like the conole is indeed finally starting to sell out at multiple north american retailers. i'm surprised it's taken this long to be quite honest! i hope there's a restock so people who missed out can get it. knowing nintendo though that's pretty unlikely to happen.

now let's just hope that people who made preorders don't get a notice of cancellation...

Aren?t you (from where I live) 13 hrs ahead? right now at the time of the post (1:45pm) it should almost be 4 am there, meaning at 10am on March 19 it will be midnight on March 20th, couldn?t you download it then?

Yeah that's a good point haha. But we'll have to see with the languages and whatnot. For example, if getting the game bundled means that I get a copy of the game that can only be played in Japanese, then I would've been able to download that 10 hours earlier than the time I'll get it. But we'll have to see how things work...

I think I'll try to preorder from GEO. That's the store that's doing the plastic cup and coaster as a pre-order bonus, but that seems to be if you preorder just the game itself. I'm going to go to my store this week before the 8th and ask some questions about things to double check. I think I've mentioned here before that I thought about going to Tokyo in case there's any events for its release but those don't really happen here/they're not very exciting so I'll probably choose to just play it at my own home.

 

[Lady Timpani]

Preordered it yesterday from Best Buy! Hopefully they don't cancel on me.

My brother and I went in on a launch Switch together, but I've been thinking of buying my own here recently since it's very possible I might be moving out soon. This seemed like the perfect time haha.

 

[kappnfangirl]

pre ordered mine the day it was announced!

i do hope they sell the joycons separately though, because i'd need a replacement knowing how prominent the joycon drift issue is. I'm planning down the line lol

 

[chocopug]

I changed my pre-order from Game to the Nintendo Store as their bundles are a better deal and I decided I wanted the carry case too (and Game loyalty points are a joke nowadays, anyway). I'm so excited.

 

[carackobama]

I pre-ordered mine on Friday too! I only just bought a Switch and hadn’t used it so I just got my money back for that so I have this instead, I’m so excited ;w; <3

 

[Mint]

There seem to be less of these consoles in general. Might be why us Canadians have had a difficult time with ordering.



Based on that tweet, France is only getting 8000 of the consoles.

 

[LambdaDelta]

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

I don't think they ever changed anything. It's a plastic screen that can easily scratch, so if you aren't careful when placing or removing the Switch from the dock it will scratch. I bought a glass screen protector for the Switch even before I bought the Switch and put it on before doing anything with the Switch. You could use a piece of cloth temporarily on that side of the dock if you are worried. The air intake is on the other side.

Best Buy appears to have run out of their supply of systems, but Wal-Mart still has systems available.

Also, Target has run out of game pre-orders, which makes me sad, because they had the best bonus, IMHO.
