"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".

Old news but for those of you who intend to charge your switch on the go, it's worth investing in a quality usb-c cable.

The official AC Cheever is â‚¬35. I wonder is it worth it or just grab some cables to use with chargers I have now?

Would have been so funny if someone else had started queing up outside while they were inside the store

I think 1-2 switch looks a lot better than it did at the reveal, just not €50 better.

I have it pre-ordered in Smyths, I wish we got the edition with the cool case but I'll just have to get a separate case instead!

I wasn't interested in 1,2 Switch until those new videos came out, it looks kind of fun in them!

Got mine coming from the Nintendo UK store. Kinda wondering now if I shouldn't try and move it to gamestop/ smyths to guarantee it for launch day

I picked up an adaptor for my micro USB charger, so I could use it to charge my Nexus 6p, worked fine for a week or two then, one evening, noticed the phone wasn't charging and, checking the connection, found the little adaptor was almost too hot to touch, kinda nervous now!

Did anyone get the Zelda special edition?

Americans complained for years about Europe getting better special editions, so can't complain too much. Very few are worth the money and even less so at a console launch when software and hardware prices are the highest they'll be in their lifetime.

I was only looking at the wiki for the MGS series there today.
My son is playing through MGS3 at the moment, on the 3DS, and I was telling him that we have the extended Subsistence version on the PS2 as well.
So, took a look online and we seemed to have done far better than the Japanese in this regard, who got much the same content but in very limited quantities.
But that was the sort of limited edition that was well worth the money, with more in common with the Game of the Year editions we see, combining DLC and other bonuses, rather than some filler material and other crap.
My favourite limited edition stands at GTAIV, with key rings, lockbox, bag, even better than the GTAV equivalent.

Are Smyth's due to give me goodies on the night or am I "just" getting a Switch and LoZ?

I've gotten random bits from Smyths when I've collected pre orders. I've a tiny Mario Kart 8 t-shirt and a giant Mario Maker badge. They never said there were any incentives to pre order either as far as I'm aware.

Gamestop always offers free posters and what not with pre orders and I never receive any of it :mad:

It's crazy expensive and Europe gets an inferior version.......again! America gets a Special Edition and a Master Edition on Switch. Both of which are much better than Europe's "Limited" Edition. Limited being the operative word.

It's terrible that the Wii U version has been completely ignored. We've no Collector's Edition(great way to send off the Wi U, thanks Nintendo), we haven't seen any footage from the final build, we haven't even seen the final boxart.

Edit: Also, in the forthcoming Zelda ads for TV, it's all about Switch, they don't even mention that it's also available for Wii U. Not even a logo at the end. Considering it's the last Wii U game, there hasn't been a Wii U for nearly 3 years. It was a free chance to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. To hell with confusion, it's not an excuse.

Girl in the shop said it wasn't listed as they don't have a price for it yet. She's take my preordered for it and when the price came through she would downgrade me to regular if I thought it was too much.

Triiforce has been first in America to get Nintendo consoles for at least the last 4 generations. It's his thing.

Yeah and if you go with shopto you get s lovely little badge and a presentation box.
I think it's some cards at Game and t-shirt with Nintendo store.

Danonino.

You know what would be sweet... South Park the fractured but whole double pack with the stick of truth on the switch. I'd buy the hell out of that.

I just pre-ordered BOTW to go with my Switch pre-order at Gamestop. First time in a long long time that I'm genuinely buzzing about a console release. All aboard the hype train, CHOO CHOO.

Thanks mate. So if I order a red and blue joycon set I'll get 2 grey straps? Which wouldn't bother me to be honest.

I think the default colour, including the ones that come with the Switch itself, is black.

Banjo

It should. If the red and blue straps are for sale at launch then they *chose* not to include them with the neon console. And the only reason to do that is cause you're a knob.
