    Snipperclips I hope it's good and at lest there is a demo to. Try before I spend 20 euros on it.

    Can't wait for the switch now as been playing the borderlands 2 remaster for the past month and really need something else to play badly ha.

    I also have Horzan zero pro ordered for the Ps4 when am I going to find the time ha

    Damn, this might be expensive. A Switch with Zelda and Bomberman and I'll probably get a second joycon 1-2 Switch and now Snipperclips.

    I need to talk to my bank manager.

    I was going to respond to that Tweet that Nintendo are kind of winging it or living on a prayer with the Snipperclips announcement so close to launch and it just kind of grew from there. I feel like they're not fully ready and they're making some of it up as they go. Everything tells me that waiting is the best option(for me at least). You all can have a Merry Switchmas.

    I could organise a Switch night and have a whip around fund :P

    Who said the launch is crap anyway! Plenty of interesting stuff there and I'd say at least one of the non-Zelda games has a very good chance of being a Super Monkey Ball or Raving Rabbids style surprise.

    They should do a combined launch, using HD rumble to make it feel like the blades are coming out of your own hands...

    Nintendo: No Day One shortage of Switch in the UK

    Stock shortages seem to be part and parcel of every new console launch these days, but Nintendo’s UK general manager Nicolas Wegnez has assured MCV that the Switch will be available to buy at retail on Day One.

    In his first-ever UK interview (see this week's MCV for the full feature), Wegnez stated that while pre-orders for the Switch are “very strong,” there will still be stock on shop shelves for customers to buy if they haven’t ordered a console in advance. 

    “It’s true pre-orders are very strong, but we still expect Nintendo Switch to be available at some retailers on Day One,” Wegnez said.

    “We do expect shipments to steadily come. As we all know, this is not a sprint but a marathon, which is why we are so busy preparing strong plans for the months to come following the launch.”

    Nintendo faced huge stock problems when it launched the Wii in 2006, with shortages lasting for months after release. In 2012, similar supply issues hit the Wii U as well, with some retailers stating at the time that they didn’t have enough stock to even fulfil the pre-orders they’d received. The Wii U shortages ended up being less severe than the Wii, but here’s hoping the Switch won’t face similar stock problems.

    New blaster master from into creates has the potential to be amazing but don't think it's an exclusive.

    98 is just more popular but I agree that 96 is one of the finest fighters ever created. Better than street fighter 2!

    Snipperclips could be excellent. I've a feeling 1 2 switch is a better party game than people realise based on how well the game's it is based on work. Also if bomberman is a good bomberman... well what multiplayer game is better than bomberman at its finest?

    Snipperclips is brilliant. Definitely the best i played outside of Zelda. Its got something weird and wonderful hoing on with it. Hard to explain it till ye play it for yourself.

    The Indies Eshop Direct on Monday makes day one purchase bit better now as its always nice to have few games even if Zelda is all ud really need.

    Looking fwd to getting Snipperclips. Likely just get bundle. Out 10th March, its neon set and box art us up already.

    Great news after the joycons issues. Also Bluetooth headphones isnt working news might merely be day one update or one in a few werks id say.

    I want clippersnips (:P) but I may wait til the Joycon SKU with the download code included comes out....

    It's already here in Ireland, I saw a certain indie retailer posting pictures of it in his store earlier...

    Is it possible that all joy cons 2 packs are coming with snipperlords or is that overly wishful thinking?

    Looks like a pack in after all, just a pity it's not with the Switch.
    Still, assuming one was going to buy Snipperclips anyway, you save €20 on the price of a second Joycon set.
