"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".

Just beware, Gamestop have shown form before of building packs of the system and a bundle of crap, screen covers, wipes, increasing the price by €50 and not having a standard pack available to people on the day.

Aokay

I'm just gonna wait until the SKUs are announced on Friday and then I'll decide who to go with.
I think it's going to be a case of who puts them up first. GameStop or Smyth's.

The Swords proper branch of Gamestop is long since closed, but the branch in the Pavilions Shopping Centre remains.
It's my local too, but you kinda wander in, see the prices of new and recent preowned stock, shiver in horror, briefly take a look through the older preowned stuff, then leave.
Smyth's is ok, Argos is probably the best, in terms of discounting recent releases within an inch of their online equivalents.

You need to click on the 'Click and Collect' option in order to put down a fiver deposit.

Just click on your nearest store and voilla. A deposit is yours.

Thanks. Do you pay the rest in store on collection or is it taken from your credit card?

Oh I might just do that too. Is there a gamestop in swords still? Or would Smyths Toys be a good option? I don't want to be going into city centre on Patrick's day to collect the Switch, that's if that's the actual release day.

Sure is. That's where I pre ordered!

Mr E

Maybe wait until Friday morning before deciding anything.

I've gone and done just that! First time getting anything from Gamestop in a long time but happy to have the Switch preordered now.

The confirmation email had an estimated release date of 26th March but as that's a Sunday, it's definitely a placeholder.

Price and date are placeholders Gamestop will update and correct once Nintendo confirm details.

Does anyone know if I pre order online with GameStop will they take the place holder price of E499 straight away and refund me the difference when the real price is set or will they only charge me when the console is dispatched in March?

That price. :eek:

About right for a decent arcade stick tbh, and cheaper than many from the same manufacturer.
I've got a couple of Hori's sticks, they are the type of sticks serious fighter players use.
So, I imagine Street Fighter V or, perhaps, a Smash Bros port is on the way imminently.

That price. :eek:

I know others will say that's par for the course. But that's not for me. I'll use the Pro Controller or Joy-cons thank you very much.

Best leaked image has to be this one

An arcade stick which, to me at least, suggests a Capcom fighter on the way in the first wave of Switch games... Woohoo!

Never pre-ordered with Smyths but after you pay an initial deposit, do they allow you to pay off a bit more up to launch date?

I know Gamestop do but I'm thinking that Smyths will likely be better value.

I'll pre-order with Gamestop too just in case but would rather give money to Smyths if I'm honest.

I always like to have somewhere to safely store my cartouche....

It being French language and the prices in euros for that Zelda stuff can only be taken as a good sign that it'll launch with the Switch I guess?

The fighting stick is a bit interesting as well, besides a re-release of Pokken I haven't heard too many fighting game rumours, and even that used a gamepad. Injustice 2 maybe? Marvel v Capcom a possibility too.

Digital Solitude

€17 for a screen protector? Hope its tempered glass then.

The Zelda stuff looks great though

Ol' Donie

Hmm. Has Zrlda been confirmed for launch? Seems unlikely all thst stuff wiuld be ready for a game that's not to launch for a few months.

That little stand for the screen is going to change my life.

They need to make Switchmas a thing. If not now, then for their Christmas advertising.
And just realised since it's expected to release on St Patrick's day we're guaranteed the new Zelda and a new Luigi's Mansion. So we get Link and Green Mario.

CiDeRmAn

Placed my Switch preorder this evening myself, in Smyth's.

Only 66 sleeps til Switchmas!

Preordered in GameStop based on the advice in this thread. I'd say it'll be cheaper in Smyth's but will pay the difference if it minimises hassle.

I don't think there'll be quite the same issue as the mini NES given the price difference and time of year, but you never know!

From Gamestop? You do get it back, you just cancel the pre order in store.

Corholio

Looks like Microsoft want to expunge any mention of Scalebound from all their media, all trailers, demos and even mentions of it have been removed from Youtube and other social media. Other previous cancelled games still have a presence on their online media, this may suggest that Microsoft don't have any exclusive right to it and Platinum may shop it around other developers, however it's more than likely done for good. Hopefully this won't be a big blow to Platinum, despite some not high quality titles lately, although I quite liked Mutants in Manhattan, it'd be great to have them on board with the Switch.

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.

Going to go with VGP if the console is not region free, it was well worth going with them for the 3DS.
