This is super unrealistic. They don't show how someone would run up and grab their switch because they are showing off their opulent American riches in a poor Caribbean island. That second family would get an hour into that robot build, realize all they have is the visor and part of the backpack and quit. No way is it still daytime when they have finished building two robots. That fourth family is insane to just place their switch up on a shelf in an RV. That poo poo would get rattled down onto the ground before they even got on the highway.

Now, I'm not defending him or anything, but I didn't see him begging for money. I saw him post how much he had saved toward his Switch (as he has several times in the past), I saw someone offer to give him some money, I saw him ironically post "give me your pennies and dimes" which is obviously joking (imo, take it as you will), and I saw him edit his post to remove the email after he got more than he expected. That doesn't, overall, look like the actions of someone begging for money.

But it's up to the mods I guess.

Yep, I didn't think he was begging at all, just sharing his enthusiasm at soon getting to own God's Chosen Handheld. But babbys gonna babby

I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.
If I could do it over again I'd just have PMed the guy who was offering what I believed to be a literal ten cents. I apologize for having derailed the thread with perceived begging.

I remain pretty excited to get a Switch and re-immerse myself in Nintendo after all these years in a way that doesn't monopolize the TV after the kids go to sleep.

It's fine, it's really not your fault. This thread gets derailed pretty easily. Watch this: BotW was not that good!

I want to say yes but Nintendo also loves to just hold the cards close to their chests sometimes until a thing is 3 months out. MHXX is kind of a huge get for them, especially after staying completely mum on the possibility of getting it for NA/EU, so who knows maybe we could get Phantasy Star after all

These days I feel like Twitter announcements are more effective than traditional presentations

It gets people riled up and bothered, and discussion spreads like wildfire long before the actual event, adding more fuel to the hype

Maybe the big "gotcha" moments aren't so useful in this mildly terrifying digital era where viral content is king

If you announce something at E3, it gets lost in the sea of everything else. You listen to your podcast and they say "Sony said this, Ubisoft said this, Bethesda said this, Nintendo said this." But if you randomly announce something on Twitter at a random time, people go nuts.

Yeah the next 3 weeks will have a ton of announcements deemed too low profile to compete at e3

Holy poo poo, gently caress yes! Even after World this is still awesome for me.

That's where my head's at, too. At first, I was rolling my eyes a bit, thinking "why would I want to go back to 2016(?) Monster Hunter after World?" but then I remembered hunter arts (Bushido!!!!)... different locations... a proper multiplayer hub... portable Monster Hunter on a handheld with a great-looking big screen, dual analog sticks, and actual ergonomics... like 50 or 60 more monsters... I'm totally on board. I just hope they shoehorn in at least some of the QoL improvements made in World.

15 new SKUs is pretty cool. Is Smash already in the systems? Gonna say one of the new ones will be Fire Emblem since its been mentioned a handful of times for 2018. We already know about Bayo3/Metroid4/Travis Strikes Again but they're all a ways off.

As a former gamestop employee, you used to be able to look up that sku on the web-in-store page and it would pull up the name of the game but I think they fixed that too since I left.

Smash has been in the system since it got announced, as has No More Heroes. I think Prime 4 has been too but I'm not sure.
