what's the deal with Nintendo's new console?
I feel like I'm missing out, but there's literally none in stock and haven't been any in 50 miles of me since it was announced
Am I really supposed to pay $500 for a pre-opened box, and no chance at a refund or RMA?

Missing out on what? A under powered console with badly designed cheep hardware that doesn't work or brakes. A console that only has one game worth playing that you can't get elsewhere (Zelda), And the only future release that might be worth it is Mario. As if they're not going to crack the emulation soon enough either way.

Nintendo has a nasty habit of purposefully understocking to make it look like there's more demand than there is.
And the Switch is shaping up to be a good secondary platform, not competing with others but complimenting them, so even if you have an Xbox or PlayStation already it's a valid purchase.

Just wait anon it'll be in stock soon

Lots of indie games are coming to the switch
The switch itself is well designed even if the base is garbage

>50 miles
You serious nigga?
I drive 50 miles one way to get groceries every week.
Just make the drive.
Also the switch is pretty cool. BoTW is one of the best gayms I've ever played.

You can get zelda on wii-u and on cemu (wii-u emulator). Granted, the emulator is a little way away from being fully playable, but they're making fast progress (so fast, it's unheard of with other emulators).

I live around a large US city and have called every gamestop/best buy/walmart around for a month now and they never have any in stock
literally none in the city, none in the suburbs
IDK who's getting all of them

You snooze you don't get to lay your hands on my wife Paya.

missing out on the games
I've already had most of Botw spoiled for me because it's literally everywhere
every plot twist and neat mechanic has been dissected to death at this point and it feels like I won't enjoy it anymore even if I get it
kind of like how it was with undertale, couldn't afford to buy it at first, everyone went apeshit and ruined it for me, and by the time I bought it, it played like shit, couldn't enjoy it, and got a refund
zelda runs on wee you better anyway I heard

It's the usual post-launch shortage. A year from now there will be a huge surplus of Switches in stores, since by that point the honeymoon will be long over.

who has a Wii U?
I tried to get one of those too, but they were sold out when I tried
gave up and lost interest after a month or so
Looks like the switch is gonna be the same, I'm gonna miss out on the early fun and only get to the party when everyone's sick of the gimmicks and stops playing

who the hell said I was a normalfag?
I'm just a robot trying to get by and play games to avoid suicidal thoughts
I'd say you're the normalfag if you have enough money to keep buying switches to keep them out of stock
