[UPDATE] Nintendo Switch Out in the Wild!

Capture.JPG

Uh-oh!

As the title suggests, someone managed to get the upcoming Nintendo console before its March 3rd release. The person behind it, going as NeoGaf user hiphoptherobot, says an “unnamed store” decided to ship him an early Switch unit. He's even uploaded a video of it.

Check the video to have your first look at the console booting up, set up and UI!

[UPDATE]

Following the viral spread of the news of the early shipping of his console, NeoGaf user hiphoptherobot has decided to return his Switch to Nintendo after learning that his unit most likely came from a stolen batch.

Here's what he had to say when pressed to clear things up:

Not sure if I can really talk about it but I will say Nintendo has the console back and I am personally not in any trouble. Other than being out a console and the money I paid for it which really sucks with all the bills I have right now but it isn't going to be the end of the world or anything.

And I am sure it is frustrating that I cant share more details but I am not sure what I can or cant share. For the sake of clarification I will say that I don't think the person I got it from knew and therefore I certainly didn't know but somewhere down the chain some switches had "mysteriously disappeared". So while it was unknown to me, once I found out that it had probably been stolen I did't feel comfortable keeping it.

Again, I probably cant talk about details but after knowing what happened I don't necessarily think Nintendo is wrong for wanting the console back and the people I dealt with have all been very nice and reasonable. And again, I am not in any trouble but didnt feel like pushing my luck by keeping the videos up.

And I wouldn’t be surprised if they get me a replacement console or something. It just hasn’t been discussed as of yet. I’m not angry with them so other people don’t need to get angry with them on my behalf.

He also mentioned that he will be taking the original video down, although you can still find reuploads elsewhere.

If it's any consolation, March 3rd is less than two weeks away!

You're sure? Well it definitely didn't play music with those two themes. And the OS just looks like a custom PS4 OS, doesn't scream nintendo at all to me.
That's because those are basic themes, not like an SSB theme or something. Don't pull my leg with that PS4 BS, it's not like Sony was even close to being the first to make an OS that looks like that.

Guy Waiting in Line For a Month to Get the Switch “Doesn’t Care” That Another Dude Beat Him To It
He'll now have to settle with being the second person in the US to own the Nintendo Switch.

wait in line for an entire month to be the very first customer to buy a Nintendo Switch from the company’s New York store, with him being nearly only two weeks away from achieving his goal. Unfortunately his plan has been scuppered this week, after it was revealed that a retailer had accidentally sent out a Nintendo Switch to one of its customers, ensuring that CaptainNintendoDude wouldn’t be the first guy to get his hands on the console

That guy has problems. lol

I find it interesting that there's a sexy ad below the article and it's claimed to be "terrible" (Take a look at the Worst Gaming Ads Ever below -- most of them are great ^_^).

Serves him right! He should've just been quiet about it and Nintendo wouldn't have known.

But then he wouldn't have gotten his 10 minutes of fame on the internet.
Still, why even take it back, Ninty? Just give up and admit it: You just can't fucking do something right to save your life.
