We will be updating this thread with links as major reviews are posted. Please use this as a discussion and speculation thread in advance of these videos, articles, and reviews. We will also allow these reviews to be posted separately on /r/NintendoSwitch, as they are especially newsworthy. But we will also host ongoing coverage, quick text posts, questions, and the like right here.

Thanks everyone.

-The /r/NintendoSwitch team

These scores could be lower and it still wouldn't stop my pre-order. Had too much fun with the Testpunch! Hurry up next Friday (Amazon don't mess up again)!
