By now, you probably are aware that Nintendo’s newest console, the Switch, was released to the public today.
The Switch has arrived.
People all over the world are receiving, buying and unboxing Nintendo Switches right at this very moment. Many stores had midnight openings to celebrate the console’s launch, allowing people to pick up their Switches as soon as it turned March 3. Others are patiently waiting for their pre-ordered Switch to land on their doorstep.
And still others probably don’t care all that much.
But at least on Twitter, those who fall into that last category are few and far between. The buzz and hype around the Nintendo Switch is loud, is real and it’s a topic that has taken over the social media platform. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite reactions.
First and foremost, people are excited. The Switch is about to become life for these folks.

I've taken the day off work because my #nintendoswitch is arriving. When my boss asked what I was doing today, I of course said "stuff"

And now that they’ve seen the hype, some people are regretting their decision to not buy a Switch.
Maybe I should have gone to the midnight launch... 🤔😩#nintendoswitch

Except for Domino’s, who instead tried to awkwardly use the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to sell their own pizza. Please stop, Domino’s. Zelda does not want you here.
Next: Breath of the Wild: first impressions
