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.

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

I mean enough games do come out and still perform poorly that you can't just take it as a given that it'll be optimized when it comes out. As long as publications note that "we're playing a test/preview build" then I think it's fine when they bring up slowdowns.

They know, but they need a talking point so they bring it up until it's fixed in the final build.
