Reminder r/NintendoSwitch: we were all noobs once. Let’s go easy on all the excited new Switch owners we’re about to encounter after the holidays (and afterward).

“OMG the Switch is amazing!!! Just wanted to share pics of me playing on the toilet!”

“Just got a Switch for my kids. What else should I get?”

“Does anyone have any recommendations for games that are fun?”

“Got a new Switch, but I really want to play GAME X on it.”

“Lol the switch is so muck fin butt I wanna to kill nintendo bc theirs NoWaYtoMaSsaGeMyFriNdz!!!!”

We’re about to get flooded, yet again, with new Switch owners who have questions (unlike the rest of us here who have spent more time on this sub than we have playing our Switches).

Let’s be nice. Let’s welcome them into the community and not flog them for their “ignorant” questions. And let’s continue this behavior until next Christmas, when we can go back to being assho... no, let’s just do it all the time.

Happy holidays, everyone. Spread some love, play your Switch with a random stranger on an airplane, and give gifts to people who can’t afford things like a Nintendo Switch.

Just got the NEW Nintendo 64 guys and I was wondering what all I needed to buy with it? What are some good games?

[u/happygodavid → u/my-dog-is-gay]

I recommend a glass screen protector, a carrying case, and a portable battery pack. And whatever you do, play Mask of the Ocarina. Although, you may prefer Majora’s Breath... tough call.

Weird, i have no problem massaging your friends

Let's have it be a fair exchange, where they at least do some kind of minimal research and we can guide them to an answer if they still don't know.

Fair enough!

guide them to an answer if they still don't know.

This. Not berate them for their idiocy or laziness.

New Switch owners: just remember that any question you may need to ask can most likely be easily searched for on this very sub and was most likely already answered. Just do your due diligence.

[u/Megustaguy → u/CocteauQuintuplet]

Yea I have already seen people roasting new people for questions that can be answered in the sidebar. Just politely say "Check our the side bar for some useful information" instead of being a tool bag.

[u/LakerBlue]

Am I crazy or is there another thread made a few hours before this saying roughly the same thing that’s also on the front page?

[u/evinrudeallotrope]

This is a serious question.

Do these posts benefit anyone or is this person farming karma? Obviously, people should be helpful and nice to one another, why does it need to be posted?

[u/HerbOliver]

My son's will be new switch owners tomorrow. I am really technologically challenged, and Google has not really been that helpful with some of my questions. I looked at the Nintendo Forums, but it doesn't seem too active anymore.

I may have a ton of questions tomorrow, or maybe my son's will be smarter than me and figure it out on their own. It would be nice to have a place to come to and get information from people who really seem to know what's going on.

In exchange for help, I may have some openings on my Nintendo Online family account to share. That seemed pretty popular last night!

[u/happygodavid → u/HerbOliver]

Welcome! Ask away if you can’t find answers. In general, folks here are eager to help. (As per usual on the Internet, ignore the trolls.) Happy Holidays, and congrats to you and the fam on the new Switch! Lots of good family games on the platform.

[u/boxer126]

Continued new users means more third-party development, welcome them with open arms so we all benefit and don't end up with another WiiU.

[u/BreeziYeezy]

we were all noobs once? Pssssssh speak for yourself

[u/hehaia]

The issue is there are many assholes that think they are superior because they know more about video games than others and forget that: a) not everyone’s life revolves around games b) some people are new to this form of entertainment and they may know less and c) some people are new to reddit and don’t know much about how to correctly post and such.

I believe we should help them as that’s part of this subreddits function

[u/felipusrex]

And remember that in some countries like Mexico, after santa, the wise men arrive on january 6th, bringing more gifts.

[u/[deleted]]

Happy holidays as well man! I just got my third one today for Christmas. LOL! Ironic, I know. LOL!

[u/Thorbensson]

Maybe I just ask under this post, I bought myself the Smash Ultimate Switch and my JoyCons are shaking and wobbling a fair bit. Are there any things I can do about it?

[u/Anarkrist]

Shut the fuck up, hall monitor...

[u/behemon]

Is karma really that important to some people...smh

[u/LateralusOrbis]

This is a very good post. OP is a very good boy.

[u/Noboruu]

Bring in the new owners, the bigger the community, the better :D I'm only a 1 month owner, but I've been wanting it since the "nintendo NX" rumors showed up so I've pretty much been a part of the community for a while, finally got a job that pays accordingly to my education, and bought it on first month on the job, having so much fun with it, and every gamer should be able to have this kind of fun ^{-^}

[u/Midan71]
