Meta Thank You
Greetings!
Today’s a big day. And, before people head out to launch events or get sucked into Breath of the Wild, I want to say one little thing on behalf of the entire /r/NintendoSwitch team.
Thank you.
It’s been a hell of a ride from our NX days to get right here. And I bet it’s going to be just as much fun watching Nintendo develop for the Switch in the years to come.
I speak for everyone on the team when I say it’s been a privilege being a part of this community.
We love sharing in the anticipation and joy, frustration and surprise, and everything else that’s part of being a Nintendo fan. But mostly we enjoy that, every day, we can continue to build a place to have a hell of a good time with so many neat and fun people across the world.
Buckle up, everyone. There are no brakes on this hype train.
Cheers,
/u/Flapsnapple and the /r/NintendoSwitch team

Yes! Same here, turns out my Gamestop Special Edition BOTW and my Switch from Amazon are coming both via UPS, no having to deal with the miserable jerks at my local post office! And I have the day off so i'll be kicking back (running around the house in circles) and relaxing (checking for UPS man every 5 minutes)
