If you pre-order from Best Buy for store-pickup, Best Buy likes to slap stickers on their items so watch out.

Looks great, but this hardware really needs a processor/GPU upgrade.

The Nintendo Switch 4K is coming. Do not buy this now. Waiting is virtue.

COVID19 is over. Don't worry about scalpers. Maybe you will see scalpers on the PS5 Pro.
Scalpers are definitely still a problem. The collector's edition of TOTK was impossible to get from the moment it was first released.

Some of the 3DS units are posted from $3,000/5,000. Try finding yourself a sealed SNES Donkey Kong console bundle or even NIB iMac G3, collectibles are quite hard.

Legos are really the gold though, many double in price within years and if they don't, sell at retail+.

So to me; don't care about this but aging hardware isn't a problem for resale.
yeah, i mean the "failed" wii u systems zelda edition is $1200+ all day long nib

People who buying this are more likely buying it for it being special release. Zelda fans. And we don't know when new switch is coming out. Maybe this year. Maybe next year. Has nintendo even said anything about it??

I also believe this zelda switch has been ready since last year but delayed cause of the game delayed. Bet its been sitting in a warehouse. Surprised nintendo kept it so secret.

Anyone buying because it is a special edition, look at the Pokemon editions. They aren't selling much higher.

Anyone buying this for resale is a moron. Those other consoles mentioned (3ds) sold out in minutes. This one is like the animal crossing edition.

The flippers are sitting on the collectors edition of the game, which WILL sell for a premium, are laughing at the amateurs buying this

Who cares? The Switch is on its way to being the best selling console in history. Not this generation, history. So clearly people have decided that they don't give a rip about graphical prowess, and instead just want good games to play.

The GameCube was the most powerful console of its time. How'd that work out? Or how about the Xbox? Or the Dreamcast?

Nothing grinds my gears more than the "mUh GrApHicS" people. Most people don't know or care that their games run in 4k with a trillion polygons. Most people just want fun games, and Nintendo is the master of delivering that experience.
I usually draw the comparison to games like Cyberpunk, the only game to ever be pulled from digital shops with forced refunds, and Dead Cells, a pixel art indie game. If the game is fun nobody cares what it looks like. If the game is so glitchy it can't be played, nobody cares if it's 4k UHD 120fps. So many of the most popular games this gen and last gen could've run on a toaster, but the gameplay was great so they sold well.

I started to preorder this from the Target link but then read all the comments about how the hardware is so dated. Got me wondering when the new Switch is coming out and apparently its right about the corner, like within a year or so, so I ended up cancelling the pre-order. I think if you don't have a switch at all this is a decent pick up for the back catalog, but if you have a non OLED switch already you REALLY gotta be a Zelda fan or collector to warrant buying this right now.
People have been saying a new switch was "right around the corner" since before Series X and PS5 were released. Wouldn't hold your breath.

Wait for the new Pro which supports 4K gaming. Don't give in to this model now. Stay strong.

Is this even worth buying to scalp with ebay seller fees being so high now?
Don't forget taxes if it's over $600, too. Since it's a 1099, it's self-employment tax, and is a bit convoluted if you're not used to it. Some of the self employment tax is also non-refundable, even with the "inventory" cost of the original purchase bringing the net profit below $600.

It would be nice if the controller piece (which holds the joycons) was also gold. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Agreed on all fronts, but I think it's not a question of the graphics and more for what you're paying for. In 2017 $350 for this tech would have been solid, but in 2023 the only modern thing on it is the OLED. In other words, the dollar value of the hardware goes down each year as the hardware on the market gets better and cheaper but the Switch hardware stays the same and the price never goes down.

At least, I think that's what people are talking about.

Nice looking console, but at this point I'm going to hold out for the Switch 2, or whatever it's called. My guess is that will release within 12 months, around the same window as the original Switch. There wil lbe a huge demand so releasing at the holidays does not make a lot of sense. I thought Nintendo figured that out with the Switch, but yet Sony and Microsoft still releasing near the holidays.
