Topic: UK Hands-on Premiere

I just got entry to the "Nintendo Switch UK Hands-on Premiere".

Anyone been to this kind of thing before? Wondering what to expect.

I expect you will be playing on the Nintendo Switch in some shape or form, but I could be wrong!

I also expect polite British queues too.

Ya got in which is good. Doubtful Im in myself, given im a developer yet to hear anything. :/

Expect queues. Its England after all. XD

Enjoy it..? Yes I think that should be your main objective. And then decide on whether or not your enjoyment will be sustainable over the long term and worth the initial (rumoured) £200-250 entry fee for the system.

Have fun!

@chardir Superb man.Enjoy yourself and when you're back home let us all know what you think

Have fun! Probably there will be queues, and more than anyone will be around with their 3DS for Streetpass if you want to bring yours.
Don't forget to tell us your opinion of the system after the event, though!

@chardir Is this from the competition Nintendo were holding? I entered this too but sadly not heard anything yet Anyone else get an email about this?

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll be ready for queues

@IntoxicatedDuck Yeah this was from the email competition. Looks like all the winners have been informed - a friend of mine got one too. I guess they might select more people if they get some people not responding.

I managed to get a place! I wasn't sure how exclusive it was, but a friend has told me only ~500 have been invited.

Really looking forward to it - I do wonder what games will be demoed though! I would love to play the new Mario.

I'm also going. And since a friend is allowed to come with you, it'd be double the 500. Across the four sessions, that's about 250.
What session are those who have registered going to? Saturday morning for me.

Saturday morning as well.

Did anyone get a confirmation email / ticket when booking their slot? I've just been through my emails and all I have is the original invitation.

Nothing as of yet. There might be something closer to the time though.

Going Saturday morning, got a confirmation im on the final guest list immediately. Weird.

@BLP_Software Strange...I've sent them an email just to check. It would be quite a bummer to turn up and find out my booking didn't go through xD (although I have no confirmation email to tell me where to actually go!)

@Buizel Not in spam or anything?

I look forward to seeing you guys for the first time!

@BLP_Software Nope, not a trace.

I booked my place from my phone so I'm concerned something didn't go through! What a shame if that's the case! I clearly remember selection my slot and choosing to bring a plus one.

I got a confirmation page with all the details, which I printed fortunately. I've never had a confirmation email from them though. They also haven't replied to my emails to enquiries.

Yup, i'm in the same boat. no confirmation, sent them a few emails but not heard anything. I really should have printed the page after registering.

I've been on the list since the Pokemon Midnight Launch party (November 22nd). Sadly I could not go to that as I was running the Launch party for a GAME store. Which to be fair was very well received and I had a great time. I know for sure I will be throwing one heck of a party for the Switch release

I am on the Saturday session which is 9am-1pm. It does mean I have to wake up early mind you. Grrr....

In terms of what to expect, we get a 4 hour session. I have heard there are plenty of Switches around for people to use. I think the plan is that the reduce the amount of waiting time as much as realistically possible

In terms of the games being demo'd, I have seen a good chunk of the list (I won't spoil what I know) but there is already a lot of variety. Some of them has been publicly confirmed to exist, some of them are not. I would say there is something for everyone and it will be a great time.

I would definitely bring a 3DS to help ease any potential waiting times.

What to expect? From what I know about the event, the console and the games, HYPE. Just HYPE. There is a lot of great things on the way. This should be a great year for Nintendo ^_^

@chardir any chance you can send me a copy of the print you have? you can PM me on reddit with the same Username if you dont want to add any personal details on here. www.reddit.com/u/darkknife69
