The Wal-Mart bundle of Switch + Nyko Pro Controller + foam stand + MadCatz latex condom for Joycons + Madden 2014 Switch Edition doesn't count. wicka posted:there were rumors of one just being a bundle with a mario game and the other being a zelda bundle that includes the pro controller. that might be bullshit but it seems to make sense to sell it as base console/console+game/console+game+controller.

^^^^ VR is the future of some gaming. Much like there are games that are suited more for portable devices and some games that are suited for powerful consoles/PCs, there are types of games that are suited for VR.Louisgod posted:That's what I assume too, but it insinuates that there are potentially two bundles being released? Wonder what the "advanced" level Switch is, then. I would assume that the little adapter thing that you put the joycons into to make a controller would also have to come with it. Otherwise there would be no way to play normal games while the switch is in the dock. There will probably be bundles that come with a game.

Quick reminder that the OG 3DS was released for $249 so having a home console/handheld hybrid released at $249 with a new Zelda game at launch and an almost guaranteed similar 3DS software future is extremely cool and good.

Apparently the two Switch SKUs are basically the same as the Wii U basic to Wii U black, i.e. the pricier one has more memory and a bundled game. We could hope it's the new Mario or Zelda or it's a minigame collection like Wii Sports and Nintendoland.

Not so sure. They don't NEED to make Zelda a pack in to sell it, or to show anything in particular about the console. It's going to have a super high attach.

Since everybody already knows they're buying Zelda, making any other game the pack-in just make the premium bundle less attractive

Saw Game.co.uk is allowing people to preorder http://www.game.co.uk/en/m/nintendo-switch-1712269 Placeholder value of 999.99 but you pay the confirmed launch price for your bundle when it is announced. Tempted to do it as I really want a launch day switch, whenever and whatever that may be!

Basically every Zelda release for the past several years has come with special edition hardware, and the big blank "screen blocker" on the front of the Switch's dock is begging to have artwork splashed across it, so I absolutely expect a Zelda version of the system.

It's not about selling Zelda, it would be about selling the more expensive console. If I saw the more expensive Switch and it came with Zelda so I didn't have to worry about getting a Switch AND Zelda, I'd get it.

Real hurthling! posted:Im worried that devs will make those games in hd at extra expense and then realize they should put them out everywhere else instead of nintendo Most of those devs are Japanese and the handheld market is still far greater than the console market in Japan. We might see more phone game ports but I don't see: 1) Nintendo designing a dev kit that wouldn't play nice or would make things a bother for that such that it's easier to skip out on Switch and go full mobile 2) devs skipping out even if it's easy not to. If Nintendo failed to do (1) it probably means they wanted to truly weigh and gamble their platform versus mobile and really are fully prepared to release another handheld if they fail. 3DS games moving to console exclusive isn't going to happen though.
