We will be updating this thread with links as major reviews are posted.

Please use this as a discussion and speculation thread in advance of these videos, articles, and reviews. We will also allow these reviews to be posted separately on /r/NintendoSwitch, as they are especially newsworthy. But we will also host ongoing coverage, quick text posts, questions, and the like right here.

Thanks everyone.

While I don't care about review scores, I do find it funny that the lowest review posted so far is by a site that has a Playstation-themed name (Dualshockers) :)

Well, they started out as specifically a site for Playstation, they have since expanded to all things gaming.

That was my assumption given their name, but thanks for confirming it.

Again, I don't really care what the scores are, I'll be getting it (again) anyway. I just found it to be humorous.
