Thought this would be a nice thread, as you all know the Switch is now 1 years old and I was curious what everyone\s favorite memories of the Switch has been.
I love the Switch and has had tons of great memories, however, my favorite would have to be launch day.
Let's start from the beginning, I pre-ordered the Switch the day of the Switch January Conference and I pre-ordered the colored joy-con's edition with Breath of the Wild, sadly I was too late for the special edition of BOTW but as long as I could get the game at launch I was fine.
Fast forward a few weeks before launch, I was waiting for the pro-controller to finally be able to be pre-ordered (Canada) and during work, I read off Twitter and the old place that pre-orders are finally happening so once I was done I called my local EB Games and the rumor was true. I drove right away to place my money down and it turns out too they got extra Special Editon of BOTW so I Switched my regular edition to it and left happy.
The day before the launch, I walked in to pay for my whole pre-order and the manager of the store told me to use Link's amiibo with BOTW for something special (so I knew about what you got from it a little before most people did).
Now let's talk about launch day, sadly EB Games in Canada doesn't do midnight launches anymore (at least the province I lived in) so I had to wait till the morning of, thankfully though EB was opening up a few hours earlier for an early morning launch so I woke up at around 7 AM and drove to EB at around 7:40 (store was opening at 8 AM), there was a huge line already and they had to start turning people away.
While I was waiting in line a bunch of us were talking about what games we are getting, etc. This one guy bought the Switch at a midnight launch a different place (where? I don't know) but he pulled it out in front of everyone and behold, the first time I see the Switch in person, funny thing though is he wasn't able to get Zelda since he pre-ordered it at this EB Games so he couldn't even do much with it.
The store finally opened and we walked in and I saw the stack of Switch's, I finally received it and got my Zelda poster and went home and loved it and played BOTW for hours.
What're your stories?
