"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 curious if anyone here has pre ordered something online from Gamestop.ie?
I have before and chosen express shipping at checkout with an post.
Anything I've ever pre ordered with them has always arrived the day before. just wondering if that's still the case? It was a big factor with me pre ordering the Switch online with them.

Japanese developers have been sharing their thoughts on the Switch in this weeks Famitsu, the HD Rumble seems to be the main aspect they are most interested and excited about.

What if we need to charge our switches in the dock?

Theres a usb c port on the switch will connect nicely to my newly ordered 20100 mah power bank

Someone could become switchman thereby being contractually obligated to spend every nanosecond of march 3rd on switch related tasks and by not doing so will be denied a switch in the launch window, we need a contract drawn up ASAP, where is a solicitor when you need one.

So you won't be gaming on the loo like Nintendo want is to do.

A look at the back inside and down the slot of the Switch dock.

I'll be a one man band here as well

I'm sure I'll find some moments.
My son is disappointed that I'll be bringing it everywhere with me, and so is unlikely to get to play it for a significant length of time!

I'm moving this weekend from a clinical nursing manager post to one in a more admin role, so we'll have to see if I can sneak in some Switch time on the Friday! Attendance Management will have to take a backseat for a day!

Ooh, good avenue for a bit of time off, especially if you've a team that can carry the Switchmas load for a day. I'm a one-man team so it'll be post-work Zelda-ing for me.

I'm in the same boat, Friday is a difficult day to take off with clinic work et al. I think it'll be a 'pick up after work and vanish into Hyrule until Saturday evening' deal for me. That Friday will be a difficult day, clock-watching is awful.

amazon france has dropped the switched to 299.99 euros and is doing switch + zelda for 349.99 euro

or which works out to be 368,20 euro once the irish Vat and 9.45 shipping is applied

vs about 393.048EUR from amazon UK for switch + zelda

I'm not mad about either SKU's colours. They're not awful but certainly wouldn't be my first choice. I think I'd prefer it to be all black or maybe a dark green. The red controller isn't a true red either, it's kinda pinkish. For 2 player games, sites have been saying a lot of people will be fighting to get the left Joy-con and you really need the grip strap as the top buttons are kind of recessed as well as making it more comfortable to hold. The grey SKU is the nicer of the 2.

The Pro controller also looks a bit weird, the way the prongs are different from the kind of transparent main body. That's probably for grip as they look rubbery.

The red and blue one looks a lot nicer in actual photos rather than those dumb press releases Nintendo released.

Not interested in this at the minute and probably won't ever be with my Steam and Wii backlog (unless flash carts appear) but I'm just curious as to why people seem to be valuing the hideous mismatched blue and red controller above the grey one?

I like red. I haven't seen it in person yet so not sure how red the red one is.
They sell a joy con set that's blue and red in the other way so you end up with a blue set and a red set. I like that idea.

If the demand is there, I don't know why they wouldn't do a midnight launch. Make a fortune.

If going for Limerick, GameStop in the Parkway most likely won't be doing a midnight launch as they require a minimum of a 100 pre orders to open at midnight due to been located in the Shopping Centre and currently they have 6 or 7 if I picked him up correctly but he may have meant 6 or 7 online pre orders.

William Street would probably be the best bet.

I've preordered in william st. was talking to the manager yesterday while getting res 7

she said she was hopeful that they would be having a midnight launch
as they have enough preorders shes just waiting for the go ahead from head office.

she was also mentioning about the 20% off accessories so grabbed the case and screen protector.

haven't preorder Zelda yet i was hopeful that they would announce a deal
but no sign of that thinking of heading in tomorrow and preordering

Are Gamestop doing a midnight launch does anyone know?

Don't know yet. Spoke to some guy from Henry St yesterday - he phoned me to tell me i might want some accessories with my preorder - and I told him every Smyths store would be doing midnight lauch. I think he said they'd know next week, but i'm not sure.

Anyway, this is a big problem for me. There's a Smyths 5 mins from my house. But there might be a bit of craic at the (presumably) biggest Gamestop launch.

What to do, what to do...

Not known yet. Usually only announce it 2 or 3 weeks before release.
