Jesus christ, how loving stupid is this company to not make enough of them?

I actually managed to get one. Went through the process - ALMOST got to finish the checkout and got the "Sorry it's sold out" message. I sat there for like 10 seconds and said "gently caress it I bet some orders get rejected" so I hit the "view cart" part of the "sold out" on screen message, which took me right back to the last step I was in and when I tried the second time it went through! So, don't give up tomorrow!

Meh. hard to judge demand for a nostalgia piece of hardware like that. People say they wan't one and then just never get it.

And on Hardware that takes time to manufacture, and requires storage, it's always smart to be conservative on production.

It's actually going to just be called "Splatoon" and they will either pretend it's brand new, never released or rename the Wii U one to "Splatoon: Special Switch Preview Edition"

Thinking about it now I recall hearing "Zelda is totally delayed you guys" a couple months ago and Nintendo straight up going "no, it's not."

Wonder if it'll wind up being the same situation.

The new switch will offer support for N64 Gamecube games to be downloaded via Virtual Console. PSO Episodes 1 and 2 will be Japan only for some reason, but we will get episode 3.

The only N64 game worth playing that isn't mired in either licensing or dev ownership hell is Super Mario 64. Super Mario 64 should be on the Switch, though, along with every other platform because it's wonderful.

No way is that gonna happen with New Leaf. That's a 3DS game. The big New Leaf patch was to tide people over as they make all new HD assets for Animal Crossing Switch.

There have been 3 HD releases containing animal crossing assets. I'm pretty sure they clicked abort on a Wii U release due to poor sales and released Amiibo Festival instead.
