Julien Chièze saying implying Bayonetta 3 is a thing.

I hope I can secure one.

As does everyone else in this thread! Tonight is the night!

 

[Frodo]

I want metroid to be designed like a metroid, not a souls game. I want souls on nintendo systems though.

If From Software was really doing it it wouldn't have to necessarily play like a Souls game. But From Software does have some know-how on interconnected worlds, and they do know how to create interesting worlds with a lot of atmosphere. I'm sure they would nail down the isolation aspect of Metroid games.

Well this sucks.
It supposed to start icing like a mother fucker around 9 am here.
Does gamestop take preorders over phone.

Only in odd cases can they do preorders over the phone. Likely for consoles they will not.

 

[Pachimari]

I've been able to pre-order this thing for a few days but have opted not to, as my plan is to wait till Fall. But if I change my mind to get it at launch I hope it'll be available without a pre-order. I actually think it'll be no problem walking in and buying it at launch here in Scandinavia.

 

[wild wild rice]

Most likely tonight online.

Gonna have to drink all the coffee to make sure I stay lit.

 

[jabberwocker]

Can you preorder at GameStop online to pickup in store?

In the U.S., no. Online pre-orders are separate from in-store. Gamestop only lets you do in-store pickup for products that are released and in-stock. If you want it in-store, you've gotta hoof it to your nearest location and put money down.

Primarily because you don't "purchase" the item online via that method. It just sends a message to the store to put one aside if they have it.

I'm hoping and praying that my store will have units first thing tomorrow. I have all my money for Switch tied up in Gamestop credit.

No, youre not gonna get one if you do that. I dont even think gamestop lets you do that

You can preorder things on the website and pick up in store.. not sure if this is for the switch but can be done for other things.

I'm still confused as the insistence people have for doing this in store. Is this an in-store credit thing where you can't do it online?

 

[Aostia]

It's almost time!!!

Look at the website for something is not out yet you have the option to pick up in store .....

Best gif ever

 

[Spirit Icana]

A Metroid game also needs Kenji Yamamoto's (Prime, Super Metroid) music.

 

[Sesuadra]

I think some of you are misinterpreting SFII.

- It's not supposed to be a substitute for all the 3rd party games Sony and Microsoft have. This isn't Nintendo saying: "Look, Sony has SFV, we have SFII!"
- It's the series' anniversary. What do people associate with "old Street Fighter"? SFII.
- Where did people play SFII? On the SNES. With the current Retro trend, the advertisement for this game writes itself. Two friends playing SFII on SNES -> time jump -> two friends playing SFII on Switch.
- I'm not even sure this will be Switch exclusive.
- It's a novelty game. It's not supposed to be the next Street Fighter or anything more than a tribute to the series with the most popular game of that series with some additional content.

How some of you make this feel-good title seem like the death of Switch is beyond me.

came here to post that. beaten >>

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

do you guys remember how the wii u preorders were handled? they put the links live as soon as the announcement was done? did it sold out right away? I remember placing a preorder at bestbuy.com, and it was easy, but I can't remember if I did right away or not

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Do you guys think we'll see any information on what third party games to expect in 2017?

Tekken 7. Book it.

Each joy con had the right amount of buttons for two player SFII anywhere, it'd be a great cute novelty title.

Never play SF with analog sticks.

Never.

 

[BRocknRolla]

I want metroid to be designed like a metroid, not a souls game. I want souls on nintendo systems though.

I would love to see someone with a fresh take try to take on the world of Metroid. I'm assuming play would be adjusting accordingly, but there so much good that could come to their approach on world building and world design. I think it could turn out great.

Julien Chièze saying implying Bayonetta 3 is a thing.

but he is also talking about Nintendo buying Platinum there

 

[Realeza]

Have class all day, so time will fly until the event for me.

 

[fabricated backlash]

Can't wait to have samus twirl and spin around the space pirates.

That made me laugh out loud on the toilet, now my wife is wondering wtf is up.

 

[randomengine]

Where is all this SFII talk coming from?

 

[LordKano]

I will just play Picross until it's 5 AM.

 

[bomblord1]

Maybe that's why they cancelled Scalebound.

 

[Col.Asher]

I'm still confused as the insistence people have for doing this in store. Is this an in-store credit thing where you can't do it online?

I got $300 in my wallet i've been saving since the switch reveal, so I kinda have to pre-order in store.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Where is all this SFII talk coming from?

4chan leak. SFII, bomberman and some others

 

[RM8]

World Warrior's Dhalsim was pretty mean. I'm going to poke all of you from across the screen... while I'm on my bed! Or at work.

 

[DecoReturns]

Some Gamestops don't do online preorders for consoles. They want a in store deposit as well.

The ones in my area don't allow online preorder.

I'm being a daredevil and gonna wait to buy it in person without a preorder. If it's 250

I don't understand your response. Are you agreeing or explaining something?

 

[EDarkness]

Nintendo buying Platinum isn't gonna happen. (Would shock the world if they did.)

Never.

Don't be silly.

Like Team Ninja? Or the devs that did Federation Farce?

Is it credible?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I should go back to sleep

 

[Somnia]

The rumors are going to get so out of hand over the next 11 hours or so, try to not believe anything at this point.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I was up until 2 in the morning cleaning the house because I couldn't sleep.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Is it credible?

We don't know yet. But rumor of there is at least some truth in there.

I'm breathing heavy right now. Hype intensifying.

Made by mad catz.

 

[DarkChronic]

Can't get any work done this morning. Sheesh. Really excited about tonight. It's really fun seeing everyone else excited, too.

Regardless of whether or not tonight delivers, this has always been part of the fun for me. The hype, the photoshops, the theories, the tweets. Good stuff.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

My apologies good Sir!

[Galactic Specter]

Ed Boon (from NRS, the team behind the Mortal Kombat & Injustice games) tweeted this about the Switch.

They need to reveal more stuff about Injustice 2 already

 

[BRocknRolla]

I got $300 in my wallet i've been saving since the switch reveal, so I kinda have to pre-order in store.

If you're doing cash, then yes, that makes perfect sense.

Some Gamestops don't do online preorders for consoles. They want a in store deposit as well.

The ones in my area don't allow online preorder.

I'm being a daredevil and gonna wait to buy it in person without a preorder. If it's 250

Are you saying you have to do pre-orders on a per-store basis? They don't let you just pre-order from Game Stop the retailer, and then ship your order to a local store if you want to do in-store pickup?

 

[LordKano]

If we have UMVC3, Disgaea 5 and Tekken 7 at launch I'll be more than happy enough about the third party support of this thing (at launch at least).

 

[DecoReturns]

I'm about to go to classes till 2PM and I have a feeling this thread might go another 100 pages when I come back

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

People debating the possibility of a Konami franchise's revival (Bomberman)? Yeah, that's how I expected this thread to be going.

 

[Sponge]

Getting a Metroid game AND a Retro game announcement. HYPE!

My dream pair of games would be new Metroid plus 3D Donkey Kong.

 

[Scrawnton]

hmmmmmmmm

He's going to refer to this twitter poll as official data for not bringing Injustice and Mortal Kombat to Switch.

 

[SuperSah]

Not even 12 hours left now.

And it's only 4pm GMT. ):

 

[Chase17]

I was up until 2 in the morning cleaning the house because I couldn't sleep.

I might have that problem after the event tonight haha
