@johncalmc You don't necessarily need a micro SD card. It might be a good idea if you plan on downloading more than a few games, though. You'll just kinda have to play it by ear and see if you'll end up getting enough games that you need one.
Keep in mind that most physical games don't take up system storage outside of a few large third party games.
@KirbyTheVampire From what I can tell there's barely anything on the store anyway. I just had a look through it and I think I'll play Golf Story, but other than that, it's Xenoblade 2 and then Pokemon. And that's a wrap.
@Ralizah I was actually thinking I might do that at some point. The hierarchy of controllers is currently: 1. Pro, 2. One Joy-Con in each hand, 3. Sad puppy, 4. Handheld mode. Or that's what I'm thinking. But I've never held a Switch or even seen one in real life.
@johncalmc Congrats! Now you can join the ''I spent way too much on a Switch day one'' club. My advice: Don't look at your bank account and just enjoy Mario Odyssey!
@Octane BotW has the best looking grass I've ever seen in a video game, so...
@johncalmc Motion controls work best with free-form joycons too. My recommendation would be to try them out for a while before investing in a pro controller. I got a pro controller for my Wii U because the GamePad is kind of uncomfortable to play most games on, but I've found the joycons to be perfectly comfy. Especially without the wrist straps, which I feel bulk up the joycons too much. Without the straps, they comfortably nestle into my hands as I play.
@johncalmc@kyleforrester87 Nah, as soon as you get stuck into Mario it will all make sense and the wedding seem far away and unimportant. Yes, I really like this Mario game.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@Splat I'm not big on hand held gaming either, it's was fun on the game boy but playing games like Uncharted on Vita I'm left thinking it would have just been so much better on the big screen running on a PS4.
Still I might prefer the docked mode on the Switch just because the screens smaller.. I'm kinda worried about what those jaggies will look like on the big screen having gotten used to my PS4 Pro..
So to join in the party I just ordered a Switch with Mario Thought twice about Zelda for now, I'll get my monies worth out of Mario and get Zelda in a month or so. Will see how I get on without the Pro controller for now, too.
First new Nintendo console (not handheld) I've bought since the N64. I normally get them second hand!
@johncalmc@kyleforrester87 Congrats on the purchases. As someone who's not big on 3D Mario games I can saying owning a Switch just for Super Mario Odyssey is not a bad thing. I am even enjoying SMO more then Zelda to be honest.
@Splat Don't let not using the Switch as a handhold deter you from getting one. I am not big on hand held gaming either and haved used my Switch in dock mode 99% of the time. The one time I used it as a handheld I did just to see how it was. It wasn't bad mind you just again I am not a handheld gamer.

@kyleforrester87
Welcome to the club. If you plan on playing more in tv mode than handheld, you'll want that pro controller at some point (probably the best controller Nintendo has ever made).
@Tasuki@Gamer83 Thanks, hopefully it's worthwhile. It's funny because I'm not a big Mario fan by any stretch but it looks fun and I can't ignore a game scoring so well (even if I do think it's probably been over hyped a bit!!)
As for the Pro pad I'll see how it goes, I'd like to give the Joycons a run for their money first but will certainly upgrade if they don't work out for me.
I really hope there are 5 solid games that appeal to me on the system by the end of 2018..
@KirbyTheVampire Hey, Project Octopath Traveler does look good. I remember seeing that a while ago. Pretty stoked I will get to play it now! Is the demo out now on the store? Did you like it?
