It's not that they're fit, it's just us Americans are fucking ridiculously unhealthy.

More like they just don't show fat/ugly people on TV. England is fat as fuck (some of the fattest in Europe) and making good headway on catching up to the U.S.
99% of the chicks carrying around a Switch in both countries will be lard asses who will struggle to manipulate the tiny baby controllers with their massive sausage fingers.
That's actually a good point. I've only seen normal sized people using the tiny controllers. How will your typical gamer (i.e., 300 pound neckbeard) manage to use them?

Actually, I think Mario Party 1 was responsible for much of the damage, with those damned stick-twirling games.

I was convinced there was a secret if you spun enough times on this toy item from the shop
Spent an entire day spinning that damn analog stick and ended up breaking it for no good reason.

I wonder how strong demand is for the switch in NA. Obviously all the pre orders have sold out, and I bet the thing is massive in Japan, but I've been thinking about selling my pre order on amazon and it just doesn't seem worth it. ebay was yanking listings put up before today (30 day presale rule they have) but its getting flooded now, over 3k listings atm and growing by over a hundred an hour.
I was watching this one
NINTEND0 SWITCH CONSOLE NEON BLUE RED Presale - Guaranteed - Ships on 3/3/17
and it sold for $390 + $25 s/h. ebay and paypal take 13.7% so thats $54 in fees, which means the seller is getting $361. Assuming they paid taxes that means they paid $324-330. so thats a $30-40 profit. And a high chance some scammer will claim the item is defective or whatever and rip you off. For a $40 profit that seems insane.

When the PS3 was released, I had a guy right outside of the Gamestop offer me $700 for mine at midnight. Wish to hell I would've sold it to him.
Any chance you got an extra Zelda collectors edition or master sword pre-order? Got the regular edition but I want the collectors.
For what it's worth. The people who have demoed the controllers seem to have very positive reviews of them.

Do Nintendo engineers not understand how thumbs work? There is a reason the DPad and face buttons are offset on everyone else's controllers.
I'm sitting here holding the ghastly Wii U controller and it's tiny offset is bad enough, but at least it is somewhat offset, the Switch controller just basically regresses on everything we've learned about controllers over the past 30 years.
And, yeah, I'll take super hyped pre-console release gaming nerd opinions with a grain of salt. You can just look at the button placement and see how bad it would be for any game that actually utilizes all the buttons.
