No matter what your feelings are on unboxings, I think we can all agree that corporations unboxing their own products is the worst example of the medium. Instead of watching an enthusiastic user dig into a new product for the first time, you instead can observe someone who's paid to be enthusiastic unbox a product that has yet to actually ship and which they've obviously been using for a while.

Nintendo's Switch unboxing gets bonus points for:

  • Matching Nintendo Switch jackets
  • Jazzy Nintendo-style background music
  • "This is very exciting" said in reference to the Joy-Con strap
  • A subtle midway tone shift from unboxing to to infomercial

You can get your own Nintendo Switch and unbox it the old fashioned way on March 3rd.
