Picking mine up in 9 hours people. Haven't done a day one console since the original fat bastard Xbox. I don't need extra joycons to play snipperclips with the wife do I?

No, you get two in the box, that's all you'll need.

 

EDIT: Dammit revlob, that's a much better reply than mine. A pox on you.

Another Question if I may.  My last Nintendo console was a Wii which I has not see the light of day in years.  I made a few e-shop purchases on it, so I'm assuming I have a Nintendo account but it maybe tied to an unused and no longer accessible email address.  I would like to link my Switch to that account but Nintendo has not got a good track record for online accounts.  Will I have to take my Wii out to transfer the account or other such nonsense.

For Smyths preorders we should be getting notification from them after 8pm, thats when all the stores close. I'm hoping they also open the click and collect in store option so I can order a few bits I've not preordered.

 

If not I'll be on the hunt tomorrow morning around London for Bomberman and Joycon stock.

Friend codes return!

 

More info at Eurogamer.

However, a list of friend suggestions lists people with Nintendo Accounts who also have Switch and who you have connected to on Miitomo or Super Mario Run.

 

There is no option to add friends using your linked Facebook or Twitter accounts.

Friend Codes is only an option - it's not the only way to become friends. In the gameexplain vid posted in the other this thread, he had a friend on his Switch already but no idea on Friend Codes - so they obviously hadn't exchanged the number to make that happen.

 

Hopefully there is a search just like on Wii U....can't see one though.....they cocked up if so :lol:

 

It was going so well...

So the reason for the carts tasting bad (cannot believe I'm typing this) is not just that your licking metal but that nintendo added a chemical agent so that they would taste terrible so people wouldn't swallow them. Clever thinking from Nintendo that.

So, a bit more info on the friend codes. You don't have to exchange them the way you did before (thank bloody god) - just one person having it is enough (the other person gets the invite to except or reject). So, in that respect, they work the same - you can stick your code in your sig and anyone that wants can add you, you don't need to have their code as well. Bit like a telephone number I guess.

 

Not great by any stretch, but swapping randomname101 or randomnumbers102 is not all that different really.

Yeah, I couldn't get the one I wanted and had to settle for the ID I wanted with '64' on the end.

That's really odd then! Bonkers.

Easier to remember an actual name though.

 

"What's your Xbox Gamertag? I'll add you." "Oh it's Chin VPL"

 

"What's your Nintendo Switch Friend Code? I'll add you." "How the fuck am I supposed to remember that?!"

 

They must allow adding by username.

Is it - it's no different than a phone number?

 

I'd not say "M3tl_Mickey276" is any easier (considering the number of character that could possibly contain) than a phone number - but then, I've always had a good memory for phone numbers.

 

I'm not spinning this as a positive, it feels absolutely like a backwards step IMO, just saying telephone numbers have worked for a good few years, so it's not a system that's totally alien or absolutely impossible to work within. The key part is that only one person needs to have it, if you have to both have them again...#faceplam

Since they get the option of accepting the request it's less of an issue now. You can also add friends via social media or recently met players. Friend codes are probably still an option because not all players have migrated to the new Nintendo account.
