Nintendo Switch (Nintendo's next console)

Pre ordered. I am hyped, etc.

There's miracles in this world. Gamestop haven't tried to rob us blind. €330 is a fair enough conversion of £280. Still, it's too high for long term success. €250 was what it needed. Add in that Nintendo have passed on another hidden expense again of buying more storage and the price goes up another ~€50 for a decent sized memory card. And it comes with no game.

Do we have similar feelings on something?

Mad altogether

I don't know why a lot of you are giving out about the storage if it's expandable via SD card, 128GB is 30 UK pounds on Amazon...

Will only get cheaper...

€330 is a little more than what I was expecting, thought it might have been €280-300. It was never going to be much lower than that really with taxes, Brexit looming and usual peaked conversion. Still, with tech that you should be using for quite a few years it's still ok, it's the game and accessory prices that may be a little troublesome for Nintendo.

Should have taken the plunge with GameSeek pre-orders, they are honouring the price for anyone who did.

Yeah I can't wait. I popped into Gamestop at lunchtime and added Zelda to my order, just in case.

I got as far as the price before I pre ordered, think I did well tbh. I had to laugh when they said "in Europe check with your retailer"

Not able to watch the rest of the video till later what's the storage?

Pre-ordered Zelda on wii U €45!

Where?

mayordenis · 13-01-2017 03:15PM

Price I hoped was 300, truthfully, can't see a new piece of hardware for less, like how much does a decentish android tablet cost at the moment?

My only actual concern is what games are going to be on it, there surely has to be more to the launch line-up whether it is virtual console or downloadable or something.

Wish I had too. I was so close numerous times.

I'm out! 32gb of storage! Very little 3rd party support, Overpriced Accessories. Best of luck to those who buy it in March though, always exciting getting a new console.

Dunno how I'd feel about Dark Souls on it now though, you really need four shoulder buttons for them

Expandable storage....... also its not like the other consoles nintendo don't ask you to install games even if you have the disc so theres not need for TB's

How many of those studios are just porting over old games? Take something like Skyrim, which I've bought three times already (360, PC, Xbox One) or Rayman Legends, which again is a port of a 360 game.

The ports are to build a starting library, id take a bet that a lot of the big names at E3 will be showing games for all 3 platforms.

Staying silent for now to see how it sells in the 4 months leading to E3.

Point is you shouldn't have to buy more storage. Even if the games are small it's still a tiny memory. Not like it seems they mad it cheaper because of this

Many people buy games digitally nowadays so having a storage space bigger than my 8 year old ipod would be nice. Also paying a massive price for a handheld gaming device you'd expect it to have decent storage space.

Ace Attorney · 13-01-2017 03:31PM

Watched the presentation there, you guys were busy! zelda launch with splatoon 2 and mario Kart a few weeks later, Im delighted, Shouted at the lapatop with joy when i seen the monolithsoft logo and a new xenoblade game! Cannot wait for the switch and a couple weeks less to wait too!

It's not much more expensive than a 3DS.., you get 8GB with that

I'm all for that but wish they'd ported the Wii U titles instead. Stuff like Bayonetta 2 which no-one really played.

super_furry · 13-01-2017 03:34PM

Just watching the Treehouse now. What's the snowboarding game? Looks great.

Steep, i presume.

A 7/10 multiformat games that will run better on every other platform.
