Yeah, the toys were a bit of a turnoff for me too, but I’m glad I picked up the game anyway. Very reminiscent of Star Fox 64 and Rogue Squadron. I think Ubisoft shot themselves in the foot by incorporating a toys-to-life angle. Probably would have sold much better as a traditional standalone $60 release. 
Same here. I honestly would've gotten the game if not for the dumb toy requirement. They're not even small toys either, have you seen how huge all the components take up on top of the controller? Plus each component of the ship is sold separately and they are not cheap when you add it all up. What a shame. The game looked good otherwise but I just can't justify a game with big pieces of plastic required to play it.

Is everyone else as addicted to Smash as I am right now? My God I can't stop. Im so close to finishing Ys VIII too.
Hell yeah! I unlocked every character after only 2 days of playing. I've logged in probably about 40 hours so far. I'm not super into the Spirits mode, as its not as fun as just flat out Smashing. I've cleared Classic modes with every character so far. I already know which characters I absolutely do not like, and which I definitely like and want to practice with more. I didn't spend a ton of time with Smash Bros Wii U/3DS or Brawl but I'm loving Ultimate, I think I already have more time put into it than I did either Brawl or Wii U and 3DS. Melee and 64 I put a ton of time into though since I had a lot of friends to play that with locally, now I really don't, but the game is fun enough to play alone anyway.

It's like someone from Nintendo is monitoring this thread.  I just got my shipping notification.  Although, it looks like they actually shipped it on the 12th, it is scheduled for delivery on Wednesday.  WooT!

Sweet! They seem pretty cool so far! Just look pretty ridiculous attached to the Switch!   i Tried out Lolo and they feel good! Maybe a little stiff like the NES Classic but probably just cuz they are new.

I received a shipping notification from Nintendo via email on Dec 10. UPS says the package was transferred to a regional post office on Dec 14, with a scheduled delivery of Dec 15. USPS tracking shows it as "Shipment Received, Package Acceptance Pending" since Dec 15. Maybe I'll never get them?

Maybe the post office is jammin on some NES games!

Anybody got a pre order for Fox N Forests collectors edition they don't want? Kinda spaced on it and didn't end up getting a pre order in. Willing to toss a little extra for one if anyone wants to sell one. Hit me up!

Finally got mine in the mail yesterday. You just can't beat the feel of the original NES controller -- definitely improves the experience with the Nintendo Switch Online classic NES games.

Was thinking, maybe with the NES controllers docked like that they would work as a more useful kickstand

According to the Best Buy website, the Mega Man X Legacy Collection was released on July 24, but I didn’t pickup the X collection until a Black Friday sale.
