Australia isn't a country it's a mistake where the entire government is somehow worse then Donald Trump. It's why the rest of the world punishes it by making it pay inflated prices and forces its citizens to eat vegemite

Edit: I hate iPhone auto correct bullshit

I can't believe the whole roof thing blew up so much. Like, it's not unrealistic at all if you live in a city.

I think it's more that it's was goofy to see someone bring a Switch to one much like it was goofy to see guys playing basketball stopping to then play basketball on their Switch. Nothing bad just marketing is goofy for everything video game related

I went back and watched that Suda51 part and I still don't know what the gently caress he was announcing. The translator just stops mid sentence over and over nothing made sense

I know people were lol ice cubes but each joycon having haptic feed back is pretty cool imo and now that the patent troll who had it shoved up their rear end was told to gently caress off I hope we'll see more of it

Also my local small town GameStop in Rhode Island has a allotment of 25 units I think anyone who wants to preorder today should be good

Didn't everyone predict the price to be between 250-300 anyway?

The only one we know for sure is Zelda. Nothing else had a release date or a hint of one besides Mario which is, unsurprisingly, going to be a holiday 2017 game and an expected early summer/late spring launch of Splatoon: 2 Kid 2 Squid

Arms is not a launch game. It is scheduled for Spring 2017

I...I just got why this is the perfect release window for ARMS :stare:

anatomi posted:

So what does the dock do? Does it increase the resolution?

And is Zelda seriously the only AAA launch title?

Dock allows the Switch to go full power mode since it doesn't have to worry about battery life

well why not posted:

I placed my preorder on amazon UK, I got an email saying it's arriving March 3. I've never preordered anything off of Amazon, how does this usually work? Their site is now saying they've sold their allotment, does my email mean I'm certain to get it early March?

Usually Amazon will ship their preorders in such a way to have packages arrive on release day

I think ARMS is gonna turn out to be really fun :shrug: Splatoon got the same "what the hell is this weird poo poo" when it was first shown too. Hoping the TreeHouse shows more of it today cause I'm getting some big Punch Out vibes from it

The dock literally has a tiny black hole inside of it. It's mass is so great you need a four foot thick slab of steel to put it on or it'll punch right through your floor and swallow your entire house

yes yes, I'm sure the crowd of 20 somethings wearing Nintendo gear that also asked to pre-order Zelda and a bunch of accessories are there to flip that poo poo.

I, a person on the internet, do not want thing. Therefore anyone getting thing is doing so for reasons other than wanting thing

If they every did a Waluigi game I hope it would be a game in which you sneak and use stealth to break into locations as a master theif to steal gold/art while avoiding guards and security systems

We have a problem with some shitbags here. It's become a target for 3rd party marketing shills for a long time. Shouting down everything and continuing on trying to build popularity with even the most astounding gently caress ups. In this case, we have the truth. The truth is this: Nintendo done hosed up beyond cataclysmic proportions and any goon with an ounce of a brain knows it. Nothing can shout it down this time.

1) A console that doesn't have the power to toast my loving bagel.
2) Continues progress to try and recapture the Wii market with motion controls when we have all moved on.
3) Battery life that makes a Dell Inspiron 5500 look like a nuclear power plant.
4) An online service that fucks with the standard of what we are given in value with PS Plus and Xbox live.
5) One game that everyone wants to play that runs better on a console launched 5 years ago.
6) A side controller that may fit the hands of Tyroin Lannister.
7) A poo poo line up of poo poo games aside from Zelda. Albeit no mention of the poo poo they should have launched with. Mario, Metroid, Pilot wings, Animal Crossing, a new Castlevania. An updated and fun Jackyl. A new Contra. The legacy of IP's missing here is loving astounding.
8) Lack of even an EXTERNAL loving HARD DRIVE SUPPORT.
9) An online service that is based on Discord on a loving SMART PHONE. THAT DOESN'T LIVE ON THE CONSOLE.

I thought these guys hosed up more than ever possible in the N64 days with their poo poo 3rd party licensing fees. They are JUST NOW, realizing how important 3rd party is in the hardware business. STILL TRYING TO MAKE MONEY ON HARDWARE. That hasn't been the loving profit center since the Atari 2600! Loss lead the hardware to build a base and sell software based on 3rd party licensing and a strong 1st party line up? They done hosed that up YET AGAIN. A box which costs about 56 bucks to make based on the tech and trying to make money on antiquated silicon we haven't seen since 2007. The games suffer. 3rd party support suffers. EVERYONE SUFFERS.

Jesus gently caress. Who runs this poo poo show?
