I'm going for the Switch and BotW from Smyth's and 1,2 Switch, hopefully, from Argos, with Isaac incoming from Canada.
If I raise billions with this painting of mine I might invest in a second set of controllers and the charge grip.

Ive only Zelda Special Edition coming from Amazon but cant decide if worth getting Bomberman or 1-2switch for the sake of it. Either could be good 2 player fun.

But if there was a better option id just spent funds on eshop games. Wish they'd
do a Direct or give info on eshop. Snipperclips still doesnt have Release date?

I miss my tradition of Launch day Pilotwings

Loved 3D one 3DS... 3D really looked good!

Nope, just March. I've said it a million times, please please have virtual console ready for launch.

i'm getting zelda also but really tempted by Bomberman might go digital for it
as i know I'll dump hours into it*

*quite a lot while probably taking a dump :pac:

Ditto on Virtual Console. Surely they know whether its there yes or no for launch.
Maybe they saying nothing and itll be there for launch with some retro titles but they saying nothing so we'll buy and support 1-2Switch and 3rd party lineup.

Ye thinking bomberman might be worth it so? Its akways good for a play i suppose but ud be better off going thru zelda and wii u back catalogue as its free and better games &#55357;&#56832;

Sorry if it's been asked (but this thread is a behemoth). If I order off Nintendo UK, will it ship on the 3rd or for the 3rd?

I think they aim to ship for the 3rd. So maybe the 2nd?

CiDeRmAn · 20-02-2017 10:11PM

I'm hoping for a surprise or two via the VC...
We shall see...

We probably won't be getting virtual boy games unless a snazzy vr headset drops from the proverbial warp pipe in the sky.

Is there any news at all at all about VC or Eshop or anything?

Nope, radio silence. Even if that chap had kept the stolen switch he would have had no access to the e-shop and we wouldn't know till closer to launch.

That's not exactly encouraging, you'd have to think.

Pretty sure we had a fair idea of what was happening with VC on Wii & WiiU by now.

CiDeRmAn · 20-02-2017 10:34PM

The Virtual Boy Collection should have happened on the 3DS.
The fact that it didn't means only that Nintendo have no business in hardware anymore and should immediately go third party, and stop selling Amiibos.
Also, they should then release Bayonetta 2 for the PS4 and XB1, as well as admit to the sabotage on the PC version of Arkham Knight.

Lemme place an order real quick.

Thanks.

RobbingBandit · 20-02-2017 10:37PM

Gods damn there is a seizures warning on the box, memories of majora and that damnnnnnnnnnnnnn regal purple colour scheme. If I drop €500 on this and then actually drop my switch while playing the ironing would be delicious.

I have (hopefully) the special edition Zelda coming from there.
At the mo' it just says estimated dispatch date is the 3rd, but they have said their policy is generally to ship earlier than release date and I've read some people actually end up getting their orders earlier than release.
I'm hoping for this as I'm using parcel motel, so might just have a chance of it arriving at the local locker on the 3rd.

If we're getting previews on the 23rd, hopefully we'll get more infomation like, then.

Binding Of Issac won't make it for launch, in other news.

Racket · 20-02-2017 10:54PM

First time I've seen a TV advert for the Switch/BotW tonight, right in the middle of The Walking Dead. As if the impatience of just over 10 days and an hour to go wasn't enough already.

MilesMorales1 · 20-02-2017 11:16PM

Deleted the original tweet now, not exactly original news anyway

Does that include the physical copies I wonder?
I would have assumed that they have already been produced and ready to ship, given that it's a launch day title.

Apparently so.

The Switch cartridge size compared to various other cartridges.

RobbingBandit · 20-02-2017 11:55PM

Looks like a vita cart.

sligeach · 21-02-2017 12:02AM

It's mad when you look at the size of the NES cart compared to the Switch cartridge. How big would the NES cart have to be to equal the capacity of a Switch cartridge(there are various sizes, 32GB is the max capacity I've seen though that could increase with future updates to the OS)? We're talking at least football pitches probably.

Already posted above you

CiDeRmAn · 21-02-2017 12:25AM

Ah well.
Still looking forward regardless.
I was always going to have to wait for it to arrive.
It's still going to be a niche title, as a physical cart at least.

sligeach · 21-02-2017 12:28AM

The link is still worth following for some artwork of the manual, the stickers and an explanation from Nicalis co-founder Tyrone Rodriguez.

What's with the Calamity Ganon name? when I first heard it on the trailer, I thought it was translation issue. Now I expect him to start sining Just Blew in From the Windy City (Wind Waker timeline confirmed!)

Trying to set the UserID but goes to password reset screen or something that says to send a mail. But I'm not getting the mail. Guess it could be sue to the maintenance
