"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".

Yep. Very seldom have I had problems. Check their feedback especially on the item you're after if possible. Some say they're in the UK but if you click on their name sometimes they're located in China and places like that. Beware of fakes too, if the price seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Thanks guys. Having a lok and the 128 gb samsung evo seems like it might be a good one for me. I'll be buying physical ( the joy of cartridges for a home console again) as much as possible, so figuring 128 should be enough for a good while.

The 128GB is pretty good. Great read speeds. It just has low write speeds of around 20Mb/s much like the Sandisk ultras. You need the Samsung Pro+ or Evo 256GB for 90Mb/s but they cost €€

Pre-ordered a switch today

Delighted as I thought I would ahve to hold out until later in the year but got an unexpected bonus in work

Very much looking forward to Switchmas and will try and get the day off work

I was showing some trailers to my wife this evening, Just dance and 1-2 Switch seem like winners for her and I am sure she will give Zelda a go

Yeah ordered the black one myself. Think maybe the combination of the coloured Joycons and the pure white screen there makes the bezel stand out more there.

How does it feel in hand? The bezel looks huge there, do you notice it when playing?

I hate, hate bezels, yet never even noticed it on the switch, i think the quality of screen coupled with nice symmetrics overall means u dont notice it. I want this Black Joycons thou now though they go well with that chassis

Also took some crappy videos while I was playing Zelda BOTW and Tried to show how seemless it was taking it out of the dock. It was merely a second.And u dont even feel it clicking into the USBC slot. Also took some off screen footage ofZelda and it was stunning. That art style...(Homer J Simpson Drool.....):)

I bought one at the end of last year for my phone. 64GB for about €16.20 delivered and good performance. It's gone up in price since then.

Look around and you'll find good deals. 64GB wouldn't be enough in the long run. If I was buying one for the Switch I'd look at 128GB minimum, possibly 200GB.

This 200GB card is €54.

Edit: I'd use AddressPal for postage.

It's never a straight conversion. The Japanese are paying <€245 for the Switch while we've to pay €330. They always get things cheaper.

I'm thinking it'll be 50 or 60 for us. No source, just a hunch!

I wonder how comfortable it will be playing split screen multiplayer on the tablet, it looks quite small.

Reggie said it . Almost literally that you don't get to keep it.

This is just one of the many times he's said it in interviews.

Seriously? Is that confirmed?

Have a read of the Monthly Game Download section here: http://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/

You'll get to download and play a NES or SNES game for free for a month. So the general consensus is that after the month is up you'll have to buy the game outright keep it. Even though you will be paying your yearly sub anyway.

Have they said when the online update to support XC cards will be available? The wording is very ambiguous.

Is it still not confirmed whether you can keep these games yet? I thought once you tie them to your account within the month, they're yours as long as you're a subscriber?

€30 for download rentals, discounts, online play, whatever isn't bad. Half the price of XBL/PS+.

That is so disappointing. I like talking to randoms. Stop babying me if I'm paying you for it. If this isn't addressed I'll probably cancel my preorder.

Wouldn't worry too much about it. I think the €50 thing is still a miscommunication.

Ah cool so. I'd rather they ring me and ask for it, than forget about me

The guy said he had a list of names to get through so I wouldn't worry.

You can ring them as well. That's what my mate did the other day and the chap on the phone said he hadn't got to his name yet on the list but it was on there and he would have contacted him at some stage.

I might do that, get onto them. Have a few quid I wanna pay off it, if possible.
Thanks
