The Swtich's UI was apparently leaked.....video description says the person got their pre-order two weeks early.

! No longer available

It does look clean and sleek. Nintendo must of taken some notes from the PS4. lol

Haha, yeah I just watched it, seems really easy, and as you said sleek. Not too junky where you can't tell what the heck is going on. I like how the toad battery icon in the news feed is from Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon's artwork. lol

I'm glad that the Nintendo Switch's setup is smooth. Really like those sounds when you get taken to the next setup page, and even when they go in a higher-lower pitch. I am planning on buying mines in a couple of months. I'm more of a PS guy.

  Are you still going to keep your Wii U now that you have a Switch?

[SO7430]

Its funny I just put it in a box and placed it int he closet, closing this chapter, now only the Switch and Gamecube are still on my TV stand.

[SO7430]

I'll say this, I prefer the Switch in handheld mode waaayyy more compared to tv mode. Forget what you read, the kickstand is great, and i frankly believe people are being far far too rough with their Switches.

I'm not sure what I'll do with my Wii U, I initially thought about trading it in, but I may give it to my niece along with the games to have as a backup Wii U since she already has one. I don't play with my Wii U much nowadays like I used to.

Handheld mode (and tabletop for that matter) seems like it would be a lot of fun, but I've always been more of home console gaming kind of guy so I would imagine my Switch would be docked 90% of the time. I think I would be a bit leery about taking a $300 handheld/console hybrid device outside of the house.

I for one still happen to like the ability to easily carry a 3DS in my pocket.  A Switch, by comparison, is somewhat less portable.  For that reason, even if I did get one it would mostly stay docked.  I never even got a Wii U, and it sounds like I was well served not to do so since I'm noticing a lot of people saying it is (and was) boring.  I still play the original Wii.

[SO7430]

I bought a case and two separate carry cases for the joy cons and the tablet, it goes around with you pretty well actually. Wii games are a possibility on the Switch too, as I miss playing several Wii games and hope this functionality turns out to be true. I take it to school and play during my lunch period and it works well. Yeah the only thing you are really missing with the Wii U were a handful of GREAT games.

The sad irony is the Wii U had a great library of games, it's unfortunate more people didn't give it a chance. Who could blame anyone though, seems like everyone thought it was the Wii with a tablet add on and Nintendo didn't do it any favors either. If I didn't know any better I would have thought the Wii U was a non-Nintendo product because they did everything they possibly could to ignore this thing for 5 years. The console itself was just executed poorly. It's pretty obvious (at least to me) the Switch is what the Wii U was supposed to be. Agreed, when I get a Switch it will stay docked probably 95% of the time. I think I would get too paranoid about losing/misplacing it if I take it on the go outside of the house.

Nintendo Switch is apparently off to a VERY STRONG start, Sold 2.4 million worldwide in it's launch month of March (906,000 in the US alone). This makes it the fastest selling Nintendo console in Nintendo history. The success is partially contributed to Zelda Breath of the Wild which has a 100% attachment rate.

*SIDENOTE: I traded my Wii U console into Amazon within a week of buying the Nintendo Switch from Walmart. I gave most of all of my games, controllers, and accessories to my niece for her Wii U console. At least I know they will continue to be in good hands. To say she was ecstatic about getting this stuff is a major understatement.
