Media NINTENDO SWITCH (new console)

Amazon orders are prolly gonna go in one huge pile of Master Editions at Nintendo World on launch day.

 

[Chapter 2099]

Probably.

WTF?! Those people are all camping out for a video game.

I may or may not have been there for that same event.......................................................

Waiting outdoors in Winter weather for a video game is insanity.
Some have been waiting there for the past 3 weeks. Madness!

Sorry to hear about cancellations. If you are from the UK you can still order it here;

Hope it helps anyone. Did a quick google search search. I remember pre-ordering Arkham Origins for the Batman/Joker statue and it got cancelled the day before release. Gutting.

On a happier note, we're about eight days away from the midnight release of the Switch. Yowzers.

Desperate times call for desperate measures... and hand warmers.

People waiting outside for the Switch right now don't care about it selling out; they care about promoting their YuuTuub channel and meeting Reggie & friends.

Lots of unboxing vids went up a few minutes ago.
I guess today is the day Nintendo scheduled the green light to do so.

Yep. Tomorrow a bunch of zelda vids will be going up. Then reviews for the switch will be up march 1st and reviews for zelda march 2nd.

Cool. I wonder if any stores will sell accessories and/or games a few days before the console launch.

EBGames (Canada) has started selling their own biogenik brand accessories. I think everything else is street dated though.

Usually the mom and pop shops do.

Usually the mom and pop shops do.

That's right.
However, accessories, extra controllers, and games were sold before the launch at a big chain store. I can't recall which one. I think it was for the PlayStation.

I'm in NYC so any 'mom and pop' shops selling Switch stuff early will overcharge the hell out of me. I'm probably better off waiting at the Nintendo store. Which has me thinking--are they launching Breath of the Wild at the same time? It's weird that they have a midnight launch for the Switch but a 9AM release for Zelda.

You're kidding me. I get out of class at 4pm that day; do you think it's worth my waiting in line for a Switch or will are my chances gone by then?

I think it'll be based on how many consoles they have. I've never been there, but it sounds like it'll be crazy.

 

[Chapter 2099]

I PO'd Zelda from Gamestop tonight. I think I'm sticking with cartridges this go around. It's just sacrilege to not have a cartridge with a Nintendo console. I have to keep the tradition alive.

I love the idea of games being linked to an account now. It may be something I transition to if my library doesn't get too extensive. It's just nice knowing I can resell my game and get my money back, at least somewhat.

They'll give out wristbands when they are running out.

I'm sorry you had your game canclled, Chapter. That's so damn crappy. I the special edition PO'ed at Best Buy. Hopefully it doesn't get cancelled and hips out on time.

Yeah, I'm nervous now too.

It really freakin' sucks, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I'm thankful I still have a Switch PO'ed though.

Hey, do you know if BB will have an allotment of Special/Master editions for the midnight release? I called around today and asked but no one could tell me an answer, but I thought I remember someone here saying they would NOT.
