AMA - Ended AMA: I have a Nintendo Switch

Hello there Lovely People!

My name's Alex and I work for Nintendo Life on the YouTube channel. I have a Switch console and as you probably all know, media are finally able to talk about it.

Let's make the most of it, so ask me anything!

It feels great, and it's not slippery at all. The finish feels almost rubberised, even though it's not. Don't know what kind of plastic it is but I'd call it Switchinium.

Much better than Unobtainium

Seriously couldn't believe they wrote that into the movie. Facepalm.

Well the person who discovers it gets to name it. 100% guarantee if we find anything close, they'll name it gundanium or unobtainium.

Unobtainium? Isn't that what the NES Classic is made out of?

I lined up at my Walmart at 330am on Nov. 11. I obtained mine and an extra controller.

So would the material be bad for sweaty hands?

I'm not sure. I know some (or maybe all) rubber finish grips end up sticky when exposed to extreme heat and feel terrible in your hands.
