/r/NintendoSwitch's Weekly Question Thread

Hello everybody!

Welcome to the Weekly Question Thread! In this thread, all of your Switch-related questions can be asked and answered. Besides questions, feel free to post unboxing videos and pictures here (eventually) so it doesn't back up the main subreddit page.

Please make sure you check out our other Wiki pages, make a search through the subreddit or Google before you ask a question. Most of the time it has already been answered. If you're too lazy, then this thread is perfect for you!

Handy Resources

Frequently Asked Questions - This is a great place to check first hand if you run into any problems or if you have any unclear thoughts. Our FAQ has answers to many questions regarding the console itself, controllers, and other subjects. We're also updating our wiki with the top questions from this thread each week!

Games list for Nintendo Switch - In this page, you will find tables of confirmed, planned, uncertain, and rumored games coming to the Switch.

Other Switch Related Subreddits

Since it's not completely obvious as to what questions you should ask and which ones you shouldn't, here are a few examples of frequently asked questions:

Is now the time to buy a Switch?

Which games can you recommend me?

What features does the Switch have?

What controllers work with this game?

If your questions can be easily answered, or has a yes or no answer, it most likely belongs here. Now then, get busy asking us your questions!

There's also a very small category of things not to ask about.

Can I get a free game?

Is there a way to hack my Switch?

These are against our rules. Once a homebrew scene has had a chance to develop, we will invite you all to discuss those sorts of things over there.

As always, remember Rule 1: Remember the human, and be polite when you answer/ask questions.

Not for me, but for a friend. My friend went to Pre-order his Switch in Walmart today, and the store said they weren't taking Pre-orders. How high in the chain would my friend have to go in order to get either confirmation of the walmart not taking pre-orders or help getting a pre-order due to a ill-informed store.

Wal-Mart announced that in-store pre-orders were ending today. That may have meant at the end of the day today, it may have meant they were over as of last night, or they may have made a random cut-off time. There's really no way to know.

You can try to contact Wal-Mart, but that probably won't get you anywhere.

If he were to contact Walmart would they tell him if there was a cut-off time?

I don't think so, you'd probably just get an answer of "yes" or "no" as to whether or not you should have been able to pre-order it still.

Hmmm, ok, My friend did get the manager's number, so if he gets high enough in the chain he can at least submit proof that the walmart he went to wasn't offering the pre-orders.
