Ill build two routes handheld gaming and docked.

Docked

Switch - $300


Pro Controller -$65


Legend of Zelda BOTW - 44.99

Mario Kart 8 -$55

Total - $ 464.00

Handheld

Switch - $300

Legend of Zelda BOTW - 44.99

Nintendo Official Wall Charger - $28 (I choose this because I am very picky about power options with consoles and I know this will function)

Switch Case - $15 (This can be hit or miss a lot of people love butterfox but my two smelled like shit and opted for a better version, but for the price it is unbeatable, worth the risk of the smell)

Mario Kart 8 -$55

Total - $443

Games can be changed in and out but imo BOTW is the best game on the switch and Mario Kart 8 is loads of fun. I personally do not have a pro controller, mainly because I play strictly handheld but from what I have been told it is a must for docked gameplay.

Edit: In the future you are going to need a SD card. Especially if you are going the Digital route, again personally I prefer physical and the at of collecting the games but that is me.

For me, I plan on getting:

  • Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Obviously!)
  • PDP Nintendo Switch Premium Console Case - Zelda Edition
  • Extra charger and cable (waiting on the exact details for what's needed power-wise)
  • Glass screen protector

    After Launch:(I already have these on pre-order through Amazon, 20% off!)

  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
  • Redout
  • Splatoon 2
  • Super Mario Odyssey

    I'm also a backer for Yooka-Laylee, so I'll get that whenever they release a Switch version.

    I was contemplating going all-digital but then I found out about the Amazon Prime discount. On my games, I saved $55.07 by just buying the physical copy.

    You really gotta wonder how Amazon makes any money on Prime subscriptions... I order items all the time that are below the normal free shipping amount...
u/Porkpants81 · 4 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

I would call them and clarify...maybe you need to fix something:

The listing here: https://www.amazon.com/Mario-Kart-8-Deluxe-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01N1037CV/

Still says release day shipping.

u/Xkhaoz · 3 pointsr/NintendoSwitchDeals

I went ahead and scrubbed through and am gonna also compile a list of games available for pre-order through Amazon. Eligible for 20% off for Prime subscribers! Some product pages will show as Switch Title [Number] but once in your cart they will display the proper name. Amazon does not charge you until the product is shipped!

You cannot pre-load through the eShop (perhaps in the future!).

At the top above Add to Cart, they say either:

Ships from and sold by Amazon.com. Gift-wrap available.

Available Now.
Sold by Amazon Digital Services LLC


And note that just above the Product Description, all of them say:

Special offers and product promotions

Any video game purchase of $19.99 or greater on Amazon.com will qualify you to receive an Amazon promotional code that will grant you three exclusive pieces of DLC for Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood! Codes will be sent within 48 hours of purchase. Here's how (restrictions apply)

That's what you need to look for. Most (but not all) new games or time card will be eligible. If the game is old, and no longer being published by the original company, it's probably going to come from a third-party and not be eligible.

As someone mentioned Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are must haves.

Some I'd recommend would be

u/GoldDragon2800 · 2 pointsr/CasualConversation

I don't know how much you're hoping to spend on a new hobby, but video games can provide decades of entertainment. The barrier to entry can seem daunting, because some of those games are so complex and huge and confusing, but there are some very simple games among the variety. I agree with others in this thread who say Nintendo is the way to go for someone brand new to gaming. They cater to children first and foremost, so every game they make is designed to have intuitive controls that anyone can figure out regardless of prior gaming experience. That being said, they've made some of the most highly awarded games of the last few years, which are both accessible to new gamers and extremely fun and rewarding for adults. I've taken a moment to link some Nintendo stuff on Amazon that I think would be an excellent starting place. Also, getting into gaming is a brilliant way for older people to connect with their youngest family members in a natural, enthusiastic, and unforced way. They'll be able to give you tips, help you with hard levels, and just generally be interested in your hobby because it's something they already love.

.

Nintendo Switch Console on Amazon In order to play most video games, you'll need a console or a PC. This is the Nintendo console, and it is only compatible with Nintendo Switch games. Be careful you don't buy Nintendo Wii games or Nintendo 64 games, those are different consoles and they aren't compatible. Xbox and playstation games are also not going to work. This box is everything you need short of a TV and an internet connection to play the new Nintendo games.

.

Mario Kart on Amazon This game is as simple as it gets, and it's a timeless classic that has been remade half a dozen times. You hold one button to make your car go forward, and you steer left and right with the other hand on the joystick. It sounds simple, but there is a lot of fun to be had in this game. This is traditionally considered a good party game, so if you decide to pick up an extra controller or two down the road, you could invite people over to race against!

.

Super Mario on Amazon This game is a step up in difficulty for a new gamer, but still within reach and arguably one of the best games made in the last five years. You'll control Mario himself through different levels trying to... you guessed it... save the princess.

.

Zelda on Amazon This game is the most difficult game on the list, but is still easy enough to be the first game that many young people ever play. You'll control Link, the Hero of Time in a similar manner to how you would control Mario in the previous game, but you won't get simple levels. You'll get an entire world to explore, get lost in, and fight monsters in. There are more things to learn in this game than the other two, but remember, everything is designed so that a ten year old can learn it. And this game is widely regarded in the gaming community as the best game in one of the biggest franchises in all of gaming.

.

If you have any questions at all, feel free to hit me up. I think video games can be for everyone, if you just know where to start.

At the moment, it's back up on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1037CV/

u/mirai317 · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Mario Kart available for pre-order on amazon (US) again: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1037CV/

u/nateBangs · 1 pointr/nintendo

You can order some, like Mario Kart 8. They don't have any box art yet and they are being categorized as "Wii U" games still. I'm not so worried about having the games pre-ordered since those will be easier to find than the console itself.

u/kratosauron0 · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

I looked online and saw prices ranging from $300-500. Is there any difference between these consoles other than the skin?

The $300 base model of the Nintendo Switch (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01LTHP2ZK/) does not include any games, but is still what you should most likely buy. More expensive models may have games bundled or free in-game currency (e.g. Fortnite), but they shouldn't be more than $350 (plus tax). At $360, you're not really saving any money, and anything more expensive than THAT is from a third party trying to make a quick buck. The console itself currently has few variations; most of your customization will depend on what color controllers you get with the console.

What type of accessories am I going to need?

This depends on your use case. I'd recommend getting a screen protector (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01N3ASPNV/). If you expect to bring the Switch out of the house a lot, also get a case (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MR63I6F/). Anything else, like special controllers (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0748S3GXG/) or a dock cover (https://www.etsy.com/listing/560319070/), is largely unnecessary right now; look into them when you find you need extra joy-cons (https://smile.amazon.comdp/B078GZM4H8/) or a tabletop stand (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01N9RTMWS/) for your Switch. In the end, you should not be spending more than $400 for the Switch, one game, and core accessories.

As for games, so far I planned on buying Smash Bros, Let's Go Pikachu, and One's Justice. Can you recommend any other games? I was never into Zelda but hear the new game is very good.

How old is your kid? Super Mario Odyssey (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MY7GHKJ/) is fun, and has a great co-op mode if you want to play together. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is also always a blast (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01N1037CV/). I'm also a huge fan of Splatoon 2 (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01N9QVIRV/), but it's probably better for older kids because it requires more dexterity. There's lots of games to recommend, but it'll help to know what your kid already likes... or what you want your kid to like ;)

Side note: To play online, you need Nintendo Switch Online (https://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/). It's $20 a year for one ACCOUNT, or $35 a year for 8 accounts. Each account also has separate save files, if multiple people will be playing on the same Switch. Smash Ultimate and Mario Kart both have online modes, but Splatoon's primary game modes are online-only.

Whats the difference between mario party and mario space odyssey?

Super Mario Odyssey is an action-platformer for the Nintendo Switch. Super Mario Party is a virtual board game for the Nintendo Switch. Super Mario Galaxy is an action-platformer for the Wii, a completely different console.

Let us know if you have follow-up questions!

u/lotus327 · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

My turn. I agree with OP's picks for top 3 and also linked the Amazon pages for these games.

  1. Zelda (either Breath of the Wild or the Link's Awakening remake)
  2. Super Mario Odyssey
  3. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
  4. Splatoon 2
  5. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

> you clearly havent seen in online gaming groups if you think people would take bad graphics, belive me.

yes these players exist, but they are in a heavy minority. There are much more players who don't care about graphics and want good games(fun games, good story, good gameplay, ...).

> the stuff with the 3ds and wii u the only games you saw most the features deployed (and to an extent in the wii) were first party games because they were so closed off which i agree is dumb but with the switch hopfully as they have anounced several 3rd party devs they will be able to use the hardware better and make games for it

just remember, when the Wii U was announced, there also were many third party titles announced.

> also side note not all computers work the same way so it would be easier and better if developers didnt do pc cause its a harder platform (as different hardware configureations) vs console where its minor tweaks between 1 and 1s plus the 4 and 4pro.

yes, but for consoles the hard thing isn't the options you need, it's the console itself. Programers normally work on the PC and it is way easier to test that directly on the PC than to copy it over on to a console and then testing it there. And they have to repeat that, everytime they want to test something, which often happens hundreds or even thousands of times. Whereas creating different graphics settings doesn't need that much testing and can be done on one and the same system for all settings.

> you dont need the pro controller and your assuming that the controlers arent comfortable yet i seen people who went to the event say they were fine.

Yeah, I never had them in my hands so I don't really know how they are. I've heard that they are fine but the pro controller still feels much better, especially for people with big hands.

> the online unless they plan on doing worse version of PS+ then there shouldn't be anything wrong with it.

From what I've heard, it is going to be pretty expensive without giving you that much stuff. You will get NES and SNES games you can play for one month and after that, you would have to buy them.

> also wheres your source on the games price or are you making a guess based on the rest of current gen?

OK, they are 60€, but still, they shouldn't be that expensive.

here some sources:

  • Mario Kart 8 - Deluxe It's just a port with a few extra features, not an entirely new game.
  • ARMS It's not such a huge game.
  • Splatoon 2 It's just a port with a few extra features, not an entirely new game.
  • (TLoZ Breath of the Wild, TES V Skyrim and SM Odyssey are understandable because they are pretty big games)
  • and then there is 1-2 Switch for 50€ instead of being included if you buy the console(like it was with Wii Sports).
