UK getting screwed again. $300 does not equal £280.

I'll wait till the Switch has games and internal storage before I get one. Y'know, like the other, cheaper, more powerful consoles on the market.

They really should have held off for another six months at least.

I feel like there would be a better chance of a Mario Odyssey bundle that is more than $300 but cheaper than buying mario odyssey and a new switch separate.

0% or the console is dead in which case you won't want it.

I woke up having heard Walmart and Best Buy already did their preorders but going to both show that I can still preorder it. I'd wanna do it from Walmart and not Best Buy since Best Buy has a good track record of taking too many preorders and then telling you you're poo poo outta luck but has anyone from Amazon said when they're opening theirs?

It was up like 3 hours ago, I got mine but it appears they closed preorders already.

Why in God's name are they launching without a loving Mario game

Why the gently caress are they launching Zelda on two different consoles

If they had any brains at all they'd cancel the Wii U version and post a Vine of Reggie shrugging and saying "suck my dick" and then cackle as the preorders roll in

A loving port of Mario Kart 8 are you goddamn serious

Who the gently caress hasn't played Skyrim to death at this point on any of the other 384102389471230497 platforms its been released on

Rayman again - no, not new Rayman the same Rayman you bought at Wii U launch. "Definitive," as in, you're DEFINITIVELY a dipshit

Farming Simulator. Go gently caress yourself

I Am Setsuna. I Am A Bad Game. Do Not Play Me.

A bunch of Dragon Quest games that'll never actually be released because they've been in localization limbo since before timeline.jpg

jesus god in heaven all they had to do was put a god drat mario game on the loving thing and they would've had me but they can't even get that right

strap in and line up to pay $49.99 for yet another port of Ocarina of Time, you loving jamooks

Get high and think of me.


A bunch of European retailers are listing the Switch at €330. I already thought 300 was steep, but anything over that is definitely too rich for my blood. Gonna have to wait until a price drop or sale comes up this time around. :(

This is exactly how the Wii was launched (except the GC version of Twilight Princess was a few weeks after the Wii version). You don't have to buy it.

I don't know who I feel more sorry for. The Sega rep who was standing there like a kid in class who forgot to finish an assignment and had to make something up on the fly...

Or Suda 51, who had to make a single picture of Travis Touchdown seem exciting. He may as well have shown off a napkin with "No More Heroes 3?" written on it.

Were there any announcements regarding how digital games will work on the Switch? Will they finally have a PSN/Xbox/Steam system where you buy once and download games linked to your account, or will it remain the crapshoot that it is today, with games being linked to specific hardware despite the existence of a Nintendo account?

Considering VAT is 20% and how lovely the £ is at the moment I'm kind of surprised they didn't go for a straight $->£ conversion.

US prices don't include their sales tax, at current exchange rates+VAT the price would actually be £295.

The thing seems overpriced in general but it's cheaper in the UK than the US.
