"As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business", Iwata adds, "let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand new concept under the development codename 'NX'."

And...that's it. Iwata says Nintendo will share more information about the new hardware "next year".

I wouldn't give Gamestop any money. I hate them. €20 for a deposit where you've no idea what the retail price will be? You can nearly guarantee they'll charge more than other places. I'm going to wait. I think there'll be several places selling this that don't currently sell Nintendo products. Like Harvey Norman, where I got my launch day Wii U.

Though, given how the NES Classic Mini was handled and several other products you've got to wonder how much stock each shop will have. 2,000,000 units at launch is a very conservative number.

As I said in the same sentence it's just in case. If it's priced lower elsewhere never any problem getting pre-order deposit back. I'm no fan of Gamestop either, can't remember the last thing I bought there but good to keep bases covered.

How much do Smyths charge do you know to place a deposit? I suppose I could just ring them myself.

20euro. The guy on the games till had it in the system so they must have been ready for pre-orders for a good while.

Going to give them a shout after the reveal to discuss SKU's and add-ins to see where my 20euro will go towards. If the more expensive deal is a Switch, game and a big bag of ****e, I'll go for the cheaper one. Don't have any real need for attachments, screen guards, stylus protectors et al as no child (or messy adult) will be touching my Switch. A travel storage case... maybe.

Put a pre-order in Gamestop today just in case. Was told it's a minimum €20 deposit.

Only had to pay a fiver deposit in my local Gamestop. I've since paid off more though. I like that aspect of in store pre-orders, I can pop in and pay it off bit by bit. And,in fairness to Gamestop, they may be swindlers, but I pre-ordered the mini NES there and got it no bother, first day.

Tossed a coin to decide about pre-ordering in Gamestop or Smyths and am kinda glad it came up Smyths. Pre-ordered my Wii in there and it was an easy experience and a bit cheaper than other places at that time. Rolled up in a car with two other Boards.ie members (Retr0gamer and smokingman I believe) and walked straight out with it. Orderly queue, easy transaction.

I'm idly curious which will end up cheaper. Probably Symths.

They said any pre-orders would also get 20% off Switch accessories. I asked about the possible different SKU's and was told that they are only going by one version but if there is different models to ring up and say which one the pre-order will go towards.

I just preordered in Gamestop. There were only 6 others, so I should be guaranteed a console on launch day.

I was told that trade in value on the Wii U is a miserable €90 (and will drop more before March).

Depending on whether or not there is content transfer, I'll aim to put mine on Adverts next week.

I got great value out of it, to be fair...

Seems kinda quiet the last couple days with rumours doesn't it.

Also, anyone watch that 4min video on ign, beyond talk about switch. Jaysus those lads talk about all the rumours as if they are all confirmed facts. Nobody knows anything as fact until Friday.

Hate ign but can't help myself reading their site.

I found this hilarious.

It’s not out until March, but 85 people have already left a ‘review’ for the Nintendo Switch on Amazon.

http://www.gamespew.com/2017/01/amazon-already-85-reviews-nintendo-switch/

Just a few of the reviews.

Play the field and preorder from both.

Might just order from Amazon, though love to support bricks and mortar.
I can see myself investing in the Switch and three original games, don't think I'll be spending initial money on rereleases of games I've already got.

I don't want to get a "it's not you, it's me" text from Smyth's or GameStop, cancelling my Switch preorder on the 15th of March.

High praise considering their shield was a great piece of kit, just there wasn't really a market for a dedicated gaming tablet

A bargain at only €100.77. Definitely Gamestop.

Or trade in 5 new games and get it for €80.77.

As for Scalebound, I think I read someone say that since Microsoft funded it, that it can't be released elsewhere. Maybe they can reuse assets/ideas in a new game

Gamestop will throw any oul shoyte on their system to secure preorders, even games rumoured will often find their way on there if it means a fiver in the till. I wouldn't take it as them knowing anything that we don't, just pure guesswork on their part I imagine.
