TBF in that case you are technically giving the store an interest free loan. But yeah who loving cares, if the money is that big of an issue you probably shouldn't be preordering luxury products anyway.

Holy poo poo, you're right! If I'd left that money in the bank I could have made $0.05 or maybe even $0.06!

Then I could have had the fun of wondering if I'd be able to get a Switch near launch or waiting in a huge line in inclement weather!

Man I really hosed up. :v:

I'm convinced that Nintendo will never get the memo that people want Mario Party with online....and that people want an actual Mario Party game and not that garbage that the last couple of titles have been.

Mario Party would never work online; You'd have to travel halfway round the world to murder the son of a bitch who just Chance Time'd all your stars and coins away on the second-last turn, instead of just reaching across the couch and strangling them with your bare hands.

The pure Mario Party experience is watching someone land on a Fortune/Chance space and having the entire room turn absolute silent while watching with dread fascination as how those reels are going to land.

How accurate is the idea that it's a remake of Metroid 1? I really like that game, and would be extra down to play a GBA remake.

Zero Mission is an explicit remake of Metroid 1 and it's clearly recognisable as such but it also adds/changes a lot of stuff to the point where it's basically a different game. It's also the most direct successor to Super Metroid in terms of mobility and freedom of traversal; they did a complete 180 from Fusion and made the game as one big sequence break, basically.

If you like Metroid you need to play Zero Mission.

if fusion didn't have the ugly suit colors it would pull ahead of zero mission i think. fusion is so good

How many Mario Party sessions would anyone play after the first few times you've played ten turns for half an hour, are winning, and your opponent disconnects ending the game.

We don't even know how it will run in portable form. It could very well run like garbage. It is also a six year old game, and sounds like you have already played it. But not judging if you have the money and want it. Have fun! If I buy a swtich I am going to make sure to minimize my switch backlog and just buy Breath of the wild to start out.

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

I know "pre-order culture" is a thing that lots of yelling gamespeoples bitch about. And yeah unknown AAA games that might be poo poo have 'bonus's' and crap to try to secure money before reviews are even out is a bad thing. And Aussiegoon ordering every game vaguely confirmed is a bit overkill.

But. There is zero % chance I will not but a Switch and play the new Zelda game. Especially if there are no major red flags on the 12th, I will be preordering. Because I don't want to wait a mystery amount of time. I guess this model might lead to a Switch lite in 2 years, but I'm definitely not waiting that long.

So "don't pre-order dummies"? Why, I don't get your logic.

If there is one time that justifies preordering, then it would definitely be system launch because there is an actual risk of the stores running out of the system, and if you've committed to the system then you need a game tape to put in it.
