Any word on Pokemon for Switch?

Nope. Starting to think that Nintendo may be repeating past mistakes with the lack of titles.

It's kinda weird that we still don't know any prices here yet. I suppose that price is there so they can drop it eventually.

It's speculated as a remake of Sun/Moon the only Nintendo title that is actually selling now so I expect you won't hear about it until the summer.

32GB of storage... I'm gonna assume it's Micro SD compatible. If they make us have to take a screwdriver to get to the storage I'll freak.

Yeah, read the speculation. I put off buying a 3ds xl for my son hoping that pokemon would be available on switch. Here's hoping.

Online gonna cost money now?

super_furry · 13-01-2017 07:42AM

There's a fierce bang of Sonic Adventure off that Mario trailer. And it's not out until Christmas

Yes. But no details yet. Another point that irks me. Their online has been terrible and now they want to charge us for it. They won't even let us talk in-game in their titles.

Yep but they've not said how much it'll cost. Mentioned a free period with paid subs to come later in the year.

I'm going to be very presumptuous and say they'll mimic a PS+/Games With Gold type of basis featuring classic/GC/N64 games.

Birra Goldeneye online would be mag-feckin-nificent.

They've said that they'll be giving a NES or SNES game with the sub but that you lose access to it at the end of the month, which is all kinds of bull****.

Hopefully the online service is either really cheap or Nintendo bring it up to the Ps+/XBL standard

Oh Nintendo.......you can make chicken shìt out of chicken salad.
They are 20-30 year old games, give at least 2 a month & you wouldnt have to charge people for a stick to beat you with.

And no pokemon. I will still get it but I thought that with all the pokemon go hype in 2016 (I know it's not the same) that this would be the game to launch switch.

super_furry · 13-01-2017 08:03AM

Up for pre-order on Amazon.co.uk now for £279.99. Just ordered it myself despite the faint disappointment because Amazon don't charge you until it's shipped.

Preordered with Amazon.co.uk too 7.0.1am, used my other halfs amazon discount.

Zelda trailer was great. Joycon has great potential.

However, quite underwhelming otherwise. Saying it now, I strongly dislike the aesthetic of the mario game. The fact it isn't out for launch is silly.

No pokemon, no metroid, no star fox. System is overpriced.

Zelda is on the will u. I may just play it on that.

pasta-solo · 13-01-2017 08:10AM

Also preordered on Amazon, though have it with Gamestop. If gamestop is a definite then I'll cancel Amazon, or offer it to someone here if it does end up being sold out early.

No way were they going to have Zelda and Mario for launch, 2 big hitters like that would never launch at the same time. It's inbetween those 2 games that will tell a lot imo. Zelda will sell the launch, Mario will see the holiday season it's the months in between that will be interesting to see.

Console is up on Amazon France for €350 now. https://www.amazon.fr/Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01M6ZGICT/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1484291485&sr=1-1&keywords=nintendo+switch

Ya ill be doing the same to help out buddies that will likely miss out due to shortages. Happy with my Amazon Discount so that comes to 288e, Gamestop will likely be 320e.

Now where to preorder "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Master or Special Editions"

Nintendo UK Store has nothing up to purchase, strange.

McLoughlin · 13-01-2017 08:14AM

Amazon about 330 euro Gamestop probably update price later today. I'll get the Master Edition of Zelda day one aswell.

Amazon wouldn't ship to Ireland so used parcel wizard which would mean Tuesday or Wednesday delivery so I'll deffo stick with Gamestop if my pre order is good.

Those Master and Special editions may be different over here, they are only US confirmed for now, there's usually a different special edition in Europe.

chrislad · 13-01-2017 08:17AM

Preordered on Amazon as I had nearly 200 pounds in vouchers. Underwhelming to say the least but even if I change my mind, I doubt I'll have trouble selling.

super_furry · 13-01-2017 08:18AM

It'll be €350 in GameStop too so. Add in Zelda, a pro controller and a memory card and suddenly you're looking at more than €500.

Can't help think this could another big Nintendo pricing misstep.

VizardAnto · 13-01-2017 08:19AM

How are people pre-ordering off amazon uk? I'm trying at the moment and I get a message saying they don't dispatch to Ireland :mad: :pac:

You have to ship to a UK parcel address service like Parcel Motel.

As much as I love Nintendo I really think they've dropped the ball with pricing.
I was really looking forward to this but at over €300 I doubt I'll bite. €250 would have been perfect and I would have stretched to €299.99.

Yesterday I saw an XBox One with Minecraft included for £198 (€230ish). I think Nintendo will find it hard to entice Joe Soap away from other machines with such differences in prices.
