Unboxing

The Nintendo Switch was introduced on March 3 in the United States as a standalone unit without any bundled games, nor with any pre-loaded games or game demos. During the company’s press conference in October 2016, president and chief operating officer Reggie Fils-Aimé said that Nintendo would be allowing consumers to choose which games to purchase rather than including one in the bundle and increasing its base price.

The unit we purchased from GameStop included the tablet console itself, one right Joy-Con controller, one left Joy-Con controller, two Joy-Con wrist straps, the Joy-Con grip, the Nintendo Switch dock, one High-Speed HDMI cable, and an AC adaptor.

Another item purchased was the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, which includes motion controls, HD rumble, and built-in amiibo functionality.

Additionally, we picked up The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Special Edition, which included a slate carrying case, a Sheikah Eye Collectible Coin, a Relic of Hyrule: Calamity Ganon Tapestry and Weather-Worn Map, and a sound selection CD.
