The 3ds is distinct from the switch though, in that you can do 2 screen stuff. It's not like PS4/vita where vita is just portable/weak PS4

I wish they made a green or Luigi/Link colored Switch controller and system for launch. I would have have even waited for Splatoon 2 to launch if They had a Splatoon them Switch bundle.



Maybe it's just a dock faceplate. I'm going to buy some Waluigi joycons if they come out.

There's been what, 17? 18? Atelier games, time for a a crossover to spice up that intense slice of life action.

I think you can add "a 1st-party (priced) Luigi decal skin will be available" firmly in the "pros" column for the Switch. Can't wait!

Gamestop is a bad, predatory company that I haven't been to in years. The only thing I remember buying from one was $8 worth of crappy DS games a few days ago. Unless they're your only option you should not be shopping at GS.

I'm laughing at the people who are going to spend like $600 to get this thing on launch just to play a video game that is also coming out for another cheaper system at the same time. Many of whom likely already own that system.

I'll let you know when I can preorder a game console from my local organic co-op. As it is, I trust Gamestop way more than I trust Best Buy to not completely gently caress up my order.

I'd order from Amazon, but they don't have the best track record with Nintendo consoles lately.

I am spending $490 + however much Bomberman costs on this at launch for the system, Zelda, Bomberman, an extra pair of joycons and a charging grip, and an extra usb-C charger for the road.

Though $300 of it I already paid in various gift cards I had horded over the last year. I suppose tack another $40 on there as I'll probably get a 128gb MicroSDXC card to keep eShop and other smaller content on.

It seems more likely that Nintendo isn't getting their promised allocation to Gamestop rather than Gamestop knowingly selling more than they would get, especially if this is happening with in-store preorders :shrug:

Switch version of Zelda is, by all appearances, the superior version, as well. Like, I could play it on the WiiU, but there are a bunch of graphical concessions in like the lighting engine and stuff.

YMMV I guess. Other than digital downloads, I've bought all of my games and hardware from either Amazon or Bestbuy for the past 5 years or so without issue. From Amazon, I got 2 different DS models and 2 different 3DS models with no issue. This worse thing that Amazon ever did to me was ship stuff via DHL, which DHL then lost because they are as bad as Gamestop.

Weird, I ordered around the same time, maybe just a little earlier, and my order details on the target site says my expected delivery is March 3rd.

I'll probably spend $500 on just the system and whatever the largest MicroSDXC I can find that's in the 200 range because in the last year I've SWITCHED to almost entirely digital games unless the physical version is significantly cheaper. Any games I buy would be on top of that :(

I'd like to play BOTW but since I got a wii U in 2015 expecting to play it in a few months, well, I can just wait for a splatoon bundle and get the switch then.

This always happens with Gamestop, no matter the parent company or product. They took more preorders than they had available.
