Same.

Three weeks from now I'll have a long beard and I'll smell pretty ripe because I've been playing Zelda for like 5 or 6 days straight.

Wait a second, I could put the Switch in a Ziploc bag and play it in the shower!

I hope they have cool stuff on day 1 that they haven't announced yet because they are being weird about it. Like the preinstalled poo poo on 3DS was a lot of fun to poke around with when I first got it. Also I really like booting up a console for the first time and checking out the UI because I'm a goddamn dork.

Is there any legitimate information on VC yet?

Or is it just fanboys wanking off about GC fantasies?

There will be GameCube VC games. The subscription service will get you a NES/SNES game you can play each month, for only that month. That's all we know.

This was never officially confirmed, only rumoured by sources that didn't turn out to get everything right.

Destructoid posted this today.

quote:

Speaking to French outlet Melty, Nintendo producer Yoshiaki Koizumi confirmed that they are working on something related to a GameCube Virtual Console. Specifically, he said: "We cannot give a concrete answer, because we have nothing to announce at the moment. But there’s something I can tell you: we are working on some things along those lines."
Who knows if that means remakes or VC?

This might be a dumb question but I don't want to gently caress anything up.

I managed to get a Bestbuy pre order right when they went up. I also managed to get an Amazon pre order later that day.

I really want to go to Bestbuy at midnight and pick it up so like how likely is it that they are gonna gently caress me over on this? I'd like to cancel my Amazon order so I don't have to wait around all day for it.

Switch Day Itinerary:

5:00 AM: wake up, make breakfast

7:30 AM - 12:00PM: I don't know, write some software probably
12:15PM: :supaburn:PICK UP MY SWITCH AND ZELDA:supaburn: and probably also go to the Chipotle in that same plaza
1:00PM-4:30PM: Try to keep doing whatever I was doing before lunch while actually vibrating in place because actually I want to be murdering bokoblins and installing the MicroSD update.
6:00PM-[REDACTED]: Playing beloved anime game, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Did you get the BestBuy preorder shipped or in-store pick-up? First I'd call your local BestBuy and see if they're even doing a midnight release.

In store pick up and the are doing a midnight launch at the store I picked. I would assume I should be good but I don't really trust bestbuy.

Unless you lack the cash on hand. Just resell the extra one. For likely more than the purchase price.

Why in the gently caress wouldn't you just be playing the Switch after lunch in portable mode.

You should at minimum be able to recoup costs. If not locally return it to Amazon.

Mench'n-a-go-go-baby!
This video gets weird at a few points.

Like saying they should develop their hardware around the specifications of Third Parties is reasonable, ain't nothing odd there.

But then he asks Nintendo why they've neglected franchises like the Harvest Moon series for so long and why they don't force Natsume or other third parties to make games like Goemon or Secret of Mana.

And it's like, they can certainly fund Natsume, Konami or Square-Enix to make a new exclusive niche title but they can't like, physically force the people behind Harvest Moon or whatever the spin-off series is called to stop making mobile entries or whatever.

I've already reserved one from somebody who preordered two because I'm dumb-dumb, and I think my friends are as well, so unless the local midnight launches are overflowing with extra copies that they're not pre-selling online I imagine you could find some takers.
