Wait, are the UK pre-orders likely to go up as soon as this presentation finishes?

Not at 5am odd. Probably during the day.

 

[Baleoce]

Oh thank God lol

After today's events I crave a Bayonetta 3 announcement now more than ever.

 

[Chase17]

In Reality, I'm more hyped than a Dolphin at a Cafe during the Revolution.

Haha nice

 

[Dark Cloud]

That snap sound. I want to experience that in person.

Obe1s sources already confirmed you won't hear the snap sound lol

 

[NateDrake]

Obe1s sources already confirmed you won't hear the snap sound lo

My pre-preorder is now cancelled.

 

[DeviousAngel]

Thought I would be able to escape the madness by lurking in the shadow but I give up. Take me, gaf. I'm yours.

 

[Doctre81]

Fingers crossed for Pokemon Stars being a launch window game!

Not a chance.

 

[DecoReturns]

Obe1s sources already confirmed you won't hear the snap sound lol

Azak was right.

Marketing is a lie

 

[FloweryMarston]

I really feel bad for everyone looking forward to scalebound. Always sad when a game is cancelled. Though since the IP is from MS, i don't know why people are asking for nintendo to save it. And if kamiya is stressed because of the project, i don't think we will se anything from him in a while.

I see what you did there NX great!

Does bestbuy do a full charge on your card when you preorder a console? I have $125 in bb giftcards.

Best Buy typically does a Check against your card for the funds that can be problematic in that for a day or two it can lock your funds up. The problem is they have on occasion done these checks at random intervals on people.

So you need to be sure you can handle sudden checks on your card etc. Pretty much only reason I have a Best Buy Store Card. Have never used it once since I got it but will put Switch on it. They can check it as much as they want

He could take a producer role with Hashimoto returning as director.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I'm starting to get a little goosebumps. 😖

I'm ovulating and I'm a dude.

 

[AzaK]

What crawled up your asses and died?

The Wii and Wii U

 

[Doc Holliday]

The Wii and Wii U

Hah! Good one!!

 

[-Horizon-]

Obe1s sources already confirmed you won't hear the snap sound lol

Not like this.

NOT LIKE THIS.

 

[7roject28]

To me that looks like USB micro instead of USB-C. Has C been confirmed?

It's C. It's got the round edges. The light throws it off but if you look at the edges then you see it's rounded.

 

[Doc Holliday]

There's is a severe lack of hype gifs, actually funny Gifs in general wtf

Isn't that like... false advertising?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Isn't that like... false advertising?

Of course not.

 

[Oersted]

After today's events I crave a Bayonetta 3 announcement now more than ever.

Todays events do show that power isn't everything. Microsoft is going to have very soon the most powerful console, while their lineup of exclusives.... lets say it could be better.

Nintendos output for Switch first year is going to be much bigger.

 

[DongBeetle]

Pikmin 4 would be an announcement of orgasmic proportions. Pikmin 3 was my sole reason for buying a Wii U

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Does bestbuy do a full charge on your card when you preorder a console? I have $125 in bb giftcards.

They do a temporary hold on your account, which should last a few days. Once the pre-authorization period is over, the charge will reverse until the day your order ships....in most cases. Sometimes they'll randomly hold the funds again for a few days at a time. Make sure you have enough funds in your account (if using debit) or credit at all times or your pre-order could be cancelled.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

It was fucking Kamiyas dream project and it got shitted on. Thats what pissing me off! Only Bayonetta 3 can relieve me of this particular feeling.

 

[Doc Holliday]

My dream lineup would be:

New Mario

Zelda

Retro New IP or 2d Metroid

Waverace or F zero. I've had enough Mario kart and we need games that actually look pretty at launch

For the fall:

Drought like all Nintendo systems :/

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Not like this.

NOT LIKE THIS.

heartbreak the anime

 

[OnionPowder]

Isn't that like... false advertising?

I'm sure the millions of future owners are buying it for a loud as hell click when you pop the controllers in and out.

If what's being talked about in that thread are true..then oh boy is this going to be interesting and extremely nasty. I think Kamiya's next project is going to be one every wants since I think he's going to be out to prove certain people wrong.

 

[Compsiox]

I'm sure the millions of future owners are buying it for a loud as hell click when you pop the controllers in and out.

I gotta say, it would be so unsatisfying without the click.

I was a Scalebound hype train casualty

Good time for Nintendo to grab the gaming industry by the throat IMO

 

[J@hranimo]

B-b-but it's not dawn yet!

Spoiler

Where I am at least

 

[OnionPowder]

I gotta say. It would be so unsatisfying without the click.

Maybe that's the secret feature of the premium model.

I'll be honest Nier Automata is the Platinum game I want the most, and if it does not receive a Switch port, I will be forced to purchase (another) PS4.

But Kamiya is my favorite gaming personality and this news is just devastating. He deserves better.

To be honest i always want all three of them to succeed. So it's sad to see the project not panning out. I hope that kamiya also doesn't lose interest in making games because of this.

 

[DeviousAngel]

Gotta pay extra for the click

 

[Hero of Legend]

I gotta say, it would be so unsatisfying without the click.

That'd be one way to get Switch to click with people.

Umm

*loosens collar*

*wipes sweat*

Well...yeah...hmmm

Friday will have pre-orders starting once the store opens. There should be a list for those who want to be added so a store can contact you if more pre-order spots open up. Each store has a different set for allocation. A trade-in promo will be announced this week where you can trade-in Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One towards Switch - specifics I don't know.

I worked as a GS store manager and still have friends within the company. This information I heard earlier today from district and store managers.

Leak has me nervous so I'm heading down to Gamestop Friday morning and trying Amazon Thursday night if they open orders.

Thanks all, that is an immense help. Thanks especially Nate for the detailed lowdown! It's great to have a confirmed idea of what to expect.

 

[Compsiox]

I feel like it would be good to have the click. That way eventually everyone will think of the Switch when they hear that click or a similar click.

Good lord poo! xD

Anyone else not watching the Switch presentation on Thursday because it's at 11 PM? I'm usually asleep during that time.

 

[GDGF]

Those countdown gifs are getting to me. So now I'm watching a playlist of Nintendo commercials from the nes to modern times.

Sweet. Forgot a lot of these existed. Thanks for linking this!

 

[chrisPjelly]

Imagine if they played a click soundbyte when it detects its been docked to compensate

No, my mom said I could stay up just this once.

yeh I got to wake up at 6 to go to work but I'll still probably watch it, get used to it after thursday night football

 

[DeviousAngel]

I'll be wide awake! I pity the poor soul on whom I get to operate next morning.

Nurse: "great job on the appendectomy, doc"
Me: *throws gallbladder in the trash bin, shuffles away in a hurry*

 

[CharminUltra]

Sleep is for the weak.

Off from work the next day so I can preorder. I probably won't sleep at all.

Nothing stops this train.
