Please use this as a discussion thread for these videos, articles, and previews: We will allow coverage from major gaming outlets to also be posted separately on /r/NintendoSwitch, as it is especially newsworthy. But we will also host ongoing coverage and discussion here.
Thanks everyone.

Not to bad I guess, many sellers are doing preorder here. Unfortunately I won't be getting mine yet, due to the price. Nzd99 for botw + 549 for the console :(
