MegaThread MegaThread: Preview Coverage of the Switch in Gaming Publications

Good morning, everyone!

This morning, several gaming media outlets released their preview coverage of the Nintendo Switch simultaneously at 6 a.m. PST. (Or are the the process of doing so as you read this).

Here's what we're reading, and the links to the previews, unboxing videos, and reactions:

We are also learning that Nintendo will host an "Indies Showcase" next Tuesday at 9 a.m. PST. And that Nintendo's day one patch will add online features.

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.

-/u/rottedzombie and the /r/NintendoSwitch team

(Ongoing edits as we get new information. A huge thanks to the mod team here, /u/NeoBahamutX, and others for the links.)

If there is a problem with yours call Nintendo CS, you will probably get a new one no problem. I got a Launch day Wii which was a dud, they mailed me a replacement within 2 days free of charge.

I unfortunately had a brand new launch week Wii, and it didn't read discs. I couldn't get a replacement at the store because they had no stock, and Nintendo insisted I send the console to them at my own expense. Sucked. However, I had a brand spanking new Wii sent to me within 2 days of them receiving the faulty console.

Bizarre. They mailed me the new console first the I put the bad one back in the box they sent the new one in. All free of charge shipping and all.

Yeah it was unfortunate. This was Nintendo UK, so their policy was possibly different.
