The Nintendo Switch Presentation is almost upon us, which will be followed up by multiple streams and plenty of hands-on impressions - including our own - hitting the web. It's been a long wait, but we're finally going to get a good look at Nintendo's next system.
When is the Nintendo Switch Presentation?
The full presentation, live from Tokyo, will take place at the following times.
8pm Pacific / 11pm Eastern on 12th January, which is 4am UK / 5am CET / 1pm Tokyo / 3pm AEDT on 13th January.
As is our custom we're going to outline what we anticipate from the presentation, while also keeping it relatively realistic. We're not going to predict that a special edition will transform into a mecha-Godzilla that'll rampage through downtown Tokyo, for example. Nevertheless, there's scope for Nintendo to be rather bold with its presentation, which will hopefully be in the 45-60 minute range in running time. Please note that we will refer to some established rumours, so look away if you don't want to see them.
Without further ado, let's get to it.
Clarity on the Launch Date, Pricing and Bundles
An obvious one. The likes of the Nintendo NY store have already confirmed pre-orders will open on 13th January, and it seems inevitable that retailers will jump in as soon as they're permitted.
The price is obviously a big one, though it's likely that the usual drill will be followed - a solid 'recommended' price in the US, while retailers will set their own rates throughout Europe. Rumours have typically dithered between $250-300, yet it's the context that matters.
It'll be interesting to see whether there are multiple options, as was the case with Wii U, or whether there'll be just one core SKU to keep things simple. Nintendo often includes a pack-in game, too, though could opt to pre-install that on the system rather than distribute a cartridge. We'd hope for at least two distinct options, though if Nintendo keeps up recent form in manufacturing and supply it may simply release a basic unit, with retailers then adding their own incentives. Ultimately, we just hope pre-order stock levels are reasonable.
The release date is also inevitable - logic suggests 17th or 24th March.
A 'Launch Window' Software Bonanza
If learning from past errors is on the agenda for Nintendo, there'll hopefully be a stack of enticing titles due on launch day and then over the preceding six months. The big N, from that perspective, has been relatively quiet in its Wii U and 3DS output over the last 12-18 months, so the assumption is that resources have indeed been focused on the next-gen system.
Many of the rumours are well known, and a decent number of games are confirmed (though not all are due in the 'launch window') - we broke them down in a recent feature. Leaks of varying degrees of perceived reliability point to a range of potential Wii U ports and remasters, while key sequels and major franchises also look to be on the way. In terms of third-parties, some will inevitably be on board, with a number already confirmed to have titles coming while others are strongly rumoured.
We're relatively confident that Nintendo will go all in with a busy launch window - that's optimism, folks! The key is to show this off, to shout about it. Nintendo's approach with the presentation will be interesting to see, but we truly hope it's going to focus a lot of attention on games - they're integral to sell systems, and plenty watching want to see them in action. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can be a showcase, but going with volume through other demonstrations and sizzle reels will help build the hype.
An Insight Into Online Features - eShop, My Nintendo and more
One area that's been completely mysterious up to now is the online infrastructure of the Switch. Based upon the positive growth Nintendo has seen in download sales over past years, and its work last year to implement the Nintendo Account and My Nintendo, there's scope to now take these services to the next level.
A number of 'Indie' devs have already confirmed plans to bring their games to the system, and it'll be fascinating to see the eShop design on the system. The Wii U store in particular was a big step forward for Nintendo, but a fresh look would do no harm. Continuing progress in terms of improved infrastructure for demos, DLC and so on would also be nice to see - not just for gamers, but developers.
My Nintendo, meanwhile, will hopefully ramp up once the Switch arrives, and hopefully Nintendo will give a taste of this. The Nintendo Account drives this, too, so the Switch is likely to see the end of the Nintendo Network ID, which will simply be a legacy account for Wii U and 3DS users. Better data management and services are a must with the Nintendo Account, hopefully making our download purchases more accessible and flexible - it's time to stop locking them to hardware at the consumer end.
Some of these details may be saved for later, but we do expect a segment to showcase the eShop and perhaps touch upon the benefits to be found for My Nintendo members; this leads us to...
A Look at a New Virtual Console
First of all, the tentpole announcement that's been rumoured for a while is GameCube support, so if that is accurate it'll likely have a segment of its own. It does seem likely that the Joy-Con controllers will have analogue shoulder buttons, something that enthusiasts have wanted for a while; this would facilitate those games from the 'Cube.
That seems likely to be a core reveal - our hope (which is more optimism than anything else) is for details on a revamp of the Virtual Console service. The most obvious inclusion would be utilising the Nintendo Account to automatically recognise previous purchases, at least back to Wii U and 3DS (Wii would perhaps be a bit more challenging). The Wii U offered discounted prices for re-purchases, but that necessitated a system transfer from the Wii; stripping away that process and automating it would be a nice step into online modernity. Even if Nintendo has had to group data between Nintendo Network IDs and the newer Nintendo Accounts, we hope this ease of use will be a feature.
Is it time for a broader revamp of how the Virtual Console sells games? The NES Mini, as bespoke hardware, obviously offered a budget proposition (by Nintendo standards), while the likes of Mega Man Legacy Collection show how bundles of classic games can be rather attractive. We're all in favour of Nintendo exploring new selling options for established games in particular, ie those already offered on past hardware. If the GameCube rumours are true, though, it wouldn't be surprising if they follow the current premium pricing model.
The Big 'Lifestyle' Pitch
In a sense the teaser trailer (above) did this, but it also left out a lot of details. Patent documentation for the system along with broadly collaborated reports point to a multi-touch touchscreen, motion controls and so on as part of the Switch's book of tricks. As a result we'd expect Nintendo to deliver a flashy concept trailer showing off these features, but with that 'lifestyle' focus seen in the preview. That would also be a key video for social media too, targeting those not staying up until the late hours to watch the whole presentation.
There was notable buzz when the original trailer aired, and not just from the usual crowd; it seemed that plenty of lapsed gamers and Nintendo fans were intrigued, and that is always the goal for modern Nintendo hardware - to capture the magic that took DS and Wii to extraordinary heights. The Switch concept then, of a home game console that also seamlessly works on the go, can be shown off further. The unique control options and possibilities of the Joy-Cons and so on, too, can be highlighted.
The difference is that, this time, the concept trailer can incorporate the reveals of the Presentation, replacing vague promises of innovative ideas with solid examples.
Those are key areas that we expect to see in the Nintendo Switch Presentation. Let us know what you think, and what you hope to see, in the comments. As always, of course, we'll be hosting the stream in a live blog / chat format ahead of it going live, so we look forward to seeing you there.
The hype train is about the leave the station...

Not long to go! Wooo!
Less than 12 hours remain.
Deja vu.
I can not wait.
Unless the hype gains the upper hand, I'll be sleeping peacefully when this takes place. (It is 4 AM GMT, right?) So I'll dig into the wave of new, fresh info when I get up. It's like a Christmas morning... only there's info instead of presents!
Ah ha, ah ha, yeah!
I predict the following headlines by tomorrow night:
Talking Point: The Switch's pricepoint is understandable, but £500 will be off-putting to many
The Switch's battery will last "up to 4 hours" - Depending on power saving settings
The right JoyCon will not be included with the Switch Basic package
Introducing Switchywitcheymitcheymoo - Miiverse replacement looks promising
It's official: Gamecube games are coming to Switch - three planned for the first twelve months
Gamecube games will only support 1-2 players on Switch
Poll: Which of the thirty ports are you most looking forward to buying again on Switch
First look: amiibo 2.0 - Your old lumps of plastic won't work with the Switch
Yu Suzuki announces Kickstarter for Shenmue IV during Switch presentation
Metroid Prime Ping-Pong releasing Summer, 2017 - Probably not the game you wanted
Super Mario Maker Switch will include slopes with post-launch DLC
Breath of the Wild will arrive on Switch November, 2017 - Still no Wii U release date though
I'm sure I've seen this article multiple times before this week...
I wish for :
1. Region FREE !!!
2. Affordable price.
3. White or Blue color
4. Animal Crossing Switch
5. More Cartoonish and Kiddie games.
6. Cartoonish Boxing games.
7. Long lived internal battery.
8. Sold separately spare parts, accesories, etc.
9. Dance Dance Revolution (again).
10. Music creator games ala KORG.
10 hours to go. I can't wait !
I don't expect anything. This way I can't be disappointed when I see another NSMB-esque 3D Mario and no Pikmin 4 or Mother 3.
Come on GameCube games...Melee, Luigi's Mansion, Rogue Leader (in my dreams), F-Zero GX....dang that was a good system.
As well as the usual games line up, decent power, VC, Zelda at launch etc I would like to register more than one switch to my profile / account ( My Nintendo ) We may need more than 1 Switch in the house if it lives up to expectations. Can see me getting lynched if I try to take the only Switch in the house to work etc.
Can remember having a few Gamecube's, then Wii's around the house, all with separate Club Nintendo accounts.
I'm sure I posted this about an hour ago on a very similar post on this very site ???
@Other_Dave
Thanks Dave, I needed that :')
@Other_Dave Your list is terrible, and you should feel terrible for writing that.
So....soon...........
I'm just expecting to preorder a Switch. I already like the idea and everything else.
The new 3D Mario is called Super Mario Odyssey. The game that shows off the Switch capabilities ( like Nintendo Land and Wii Sports ) is called 1 2 Switch
Also there's gonna be Splatoon 2 and a Mario Kart 8 port with additional content
i'm expecting metroid prime 4, a new f-zero, animal crossing, king k rool in smash, melee hd and a new kid icarus
I hope we get some different colors, the gray is depressing me.
I hope we get multiple accounts like Wii U, not locked in 1 like 3DS, and they actually explain it tonight, info like that tends to not be included in events.
I hope I can go to bed happy when it's over.
Hype train now arriving!

@Thomas Whitehead: Is NL livestreaming/liveblogging this one?
Assuming I can stay up late enough, I'm hoping we get a release date for Zelda (hopefully at launch) and for sufficient stock/pre-orders - I'm not the spry, energetic sixteen-year-old I was when the Wii came out, I can't really camp out in the cold overnight these days to get a console.
Nintendo is finally Switching it up this evening. I'll be watching!
Shortly thereafter trump kills the Switch with a twitter rant about taxing foreign video games.
Of all the nights to surprise visit me at school, of course my friends chose tonight :/
I'm going to go out and party with them but I'll be dead on the inside knowing I'm missing the Switch unveiling. I'll just have to look up news when I get back and watch the full video tomorrow.
Monster hunter with ingame voice chat
Anyone else praying for a snow day so they can stay at home and watch Switch vids all day long?
project sonic 2017 gameplay anyone?
i want some new mario games gamecube games on switch
and new third party games
Like I said, I'll be here, if I remember, & if I'm awake. So, yeah, I'll probably be here. Edit: I love, & still use my WU/3DS. I am, however, interested in NS/Switch.
Also, I need at least 1 Switch game with genre like Go Vacation Wii. I Love to explore beautiful and wonderful places, especially Scuba Diving (imagine scuba diving in HD. Wow, so beautiful in Blue color).
I can already smell the New Super Mario Bros. announcement. lol
I hope to see something.
I just want it to be 11pm already. I cannot stress enough that a single player 3D mario is needed (in my opinion). I wasn't the biggest fan of the galaxy games because I couldn't stand using the wiimote and nunchuck, but even another galaxy game would make me ecstatic...IF they use a normal controller. Grah hype!!!
This is what I'm gonna do tomorrow: As soon as I get home I will take a shower as usual, then will watch the Nintendo Switch conference. So before I do that, I will not look at news, emails, youtube, facebook etc. You may think that's crazy but I personally prefer to watch the conference before looking at anything else. It's impossible that I can wake up in time for 4am. 😂
I'm excited, there's gonna be surprises but I am keeping my expectations realistic also with hopes.
O boy, I'm getting nervous. Feel like a kid again. I'm almost 29.went to my local games store today to confirm my pre-order. Paid them 50 euro in advance to make sure I get a switch day 1.i can't wait. I was completely uninterested for a while with all the waiting and rumors and stuff but now that it's getting closer i'm hyped af. Bring it. I'm ready.
@123akis Set an alarm for 4 AM
@Anti-Matter
Nintendo's answer: "You lost us at region-free."
I think there will be another feature we don't know about yet, possibly related to the vibration thing mentioned in the patents. Perhaps similar to this? (Skip to about 1:30) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_6rMa9_UvQ&feature=youtu.be
Ugh, 4am.
I'll be watching whilst playing Zelda Wind Waker HD on the WiiU.
@Nintenjoe64 Nah, not needed. I'm my own boss, so I'm good...
It would be nice if everyone from Nintendo Life staff would watch the presentation live and comment. Always nice reading your different perspectives. =)
My bro's doing a live stream on his YouTube channel, SmallFryUnify, where he'll be watching and commenting on the Switch presentation. I'm going to join him too, so I'll have stay up pretty late/early—a couple of coffees and maybe a quick nap in the evening should do the trick.
I'm curious if there will be a StreetPass function.
Like if you're hyped as Norfair like me for the presentation
My Question is it going to be easy or extremely hard to get a Nintendo Switch ?
@AlexSora89 thanks, you just helped make up my mind with that Xmas comparison 😁 I was considering getting up and going back to bed but I've got a big day at work so I think waking up to good news has a nice ring to it!?!
@Nintendoforlife lol but then I won't get enough sleep. And I doubt I will be able to go back to sleep after and I doubt I can go sleep early. My first lesson tomorrow starts at 8:35.
@rjejr You could always go for one of those Zelda dock covers from HORI...
As for your mental and physical health: I'm pretty confident you will at the VERY least go to bed pretty content, but I'm actually aiming for pretty damn impressed and even a dash of pleasantly surprised here and there, mark my words: it's going to be good...
And the two days after will be even better, what with all the hands-on stuff being shown on Famitsu and the Treehouse live sessions...
Nine hours left.
@KirbyTheVampire And miss the first 11 minutes? No WAY!!!
They way Nintendo has handled the NES Classic marketing, the Wii U and everything else in the past few years it's hard for me to get excited for Nintendo anymore. This will be the first Nintendo Console I won't be buying at launch.
Hype train in bound yeah ok, I am just waiting for the train wreck that will ensue cause Nintendo is a shell of its former self.
As for what I expect, here are my predictions once again:
(and please take some of it with a pinch of salt)
"My predictions: Pikmin 4 will come, and it will NOT be the 2.5D 3DS game, but an entirely different one and it will possibly be open world, online with teams being able to compete against each other.
Retro Studios will show a teaser of what they've been up to and that game will be released later in the year. Chances are it's a completely new IP.
Also, there are apparently whispers that Platinum Games is in serious talks with Nintendo concerning entering the Nintendo family completely and becoming a first party developer, or at the very least moving towards exclusively developing for Nintendo, something which isn't even all that unthinkable.
Based on that rumor, I'm going to go out on a limb and I'm going to say that the Scalebound IP will also be picked up by Nintendo, now that it is cancelled for the Xbox One.
Last but certainly not least, an old IP will be revived. Not as a VC GameCube title, but in a shiny, new Full HD coat. That game will be one of the following:
Wave Race
F-Zero
1080 Snowboarding
I'm guessing that at least one of these things is actually going to come true, but we'll find out soon enough..."
And today I have one tiny edit to add to that:
I previously forgot to mention that I want (and that there will be) analog triggers, possibly even with some advanced haptics inside them.
Odd that I haven't seen too many people mentioning that as well. Should be a given. Digital triggers should really be a definite no, but you never know for sure with Nintendo...
Is this repost? But since I don't see my comment I take this article as filler? Like in anime XD 8pm CET at my place, I think I'll go sleep and rewatch tomorrow. It's not like I miraculously will get the "cash for Switch" any sooner so no need to get too over-excited...
I'm not expecting to much,simply because are new nintendo C.E.O will be doing his first live performance presantation and.Don forget he was in financial side of things.
I made sure to buy a ticket for one of those special compartments with the seats with eject functionality, just in case the hype train gets derailed by the thousands of physical manifestations of Nintendo's mistakes that line the tracks on the line that leads back to the greatness of future past.
Y'all need to help me here, should I sleep and just set the alarm or... should I stay up, play games, watch some tv and wait till the presentation? 🤔
8 hours to go! Can't believe I'm staying up till 4am! Lol
@ThanosReXXX I'm gonna live on the edge tonight, brah. Skip the first 11 minutes like nobody's business.
Day 1 purchase. Nuff said...
Just let us have Eternal Darkness 2.
The final, 7hrs countdown
I promised myself I wouldn't post again on NL until Nintendo had something worth talking about. Well, they have something worth talking now. Counting the minutes...
@123akis Go to sleep early today. Like around 8-8:30, that's 8 hours of sleep you would be getting.
@KirbyTheVampire In many countries, 11 is the fool's number...
@ULTRA-64
My thoughts exactly, ultranumber-named being.
New Super Mario Bros 2: Coin Rush Switch!
Balloon Fight VR: similar to Splatoon but gotta pop balloons.
Barrett from FF7 enters the fight...
Chun-Li enters the fray.
Amiibo costumes that were held back from 3ds return to Switch.
Yoshi and Poochy + Kirby ...
Hope 2 player in one Kart returns in Switch Mario Kart.
What I expect from Nintendo Life, is another article about what to expect from the expected Nintendo Switch presentation of what to expect from the Nintendo Switch.
I expect this article will arrive in a few hours.
Kerbel Space Program cancelled on Wii U gets Switch version greenlight.
Excite Boating makes waves race onto the Switch.
The Quality of Life initiative is revealed, your Switch tablet can be used bedside as an alarm clock.
@abbyhitter That was a joke list!
@TossedLlama You shouldn't have asked for Mother 3... You... Oh no... WATCH OUT!
Alas, I'll be commuting to work when it streams, and our subway isn't on good terms with mobile internet. But I'll certainly be keeping my hand on the topic's pulse as much as I can throughout the day.
@Nintendoforlife haha I'll try but I just came back from mcdonalds
@eltomo We can also expect articles about what to expect from the expected Treehouse livestream discussing expected Switch games and what to expect from them, as well as expected livestreams in the next couple days after that which show off the expected hands on event showing off expectant people expecting to play the expected Switch as well as some of it's expected games and other expected functions.
Holy crap. I just woke up and it's switch presentation day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ThomasBW84 This morning my hard drive went dead and I lost alot of game saves and games that were on my hdd. Trying to decide if I should just hold out on purchasing a new hdd right now, since the Switch will be coming out soon. What would you guys do?
@GiooiG totally agree! Xbox home sharing has been a god send for us. Allowing us to buy two games and play across four consoles for gaming with the kids.
Seriously hope Nintendo has taken note of this and implemented it also. Cant afford to swap the kids over otherwise.
@Deadstanley It's just not comfortable to me. The Galaxy games themselves are amazing. I was just playing mg2 a few weeks ago, and I fell in love with all the callbacks to older marios that it had. If I could just not have to keep pointing that wiimote at my tv I would be in bliss.
What I hope to see/find out
1. Price of 200 pounds (i can dream)
2. Multi-Touch Screen
3. eShop to included all previous systems expect wii u
4. eShop linked so previous purchased vc/indie/wii u software is downloaded for free for Wii U owners
5. Cheap way of getting ports of wii u games if you own the disc
6. All current vc games on the wii u available day one + a selection of 5 cube game
7. 1st Party Launch Games: Breath of the Wild, Fire Emblem Warriors, Pikmin 4
8. 1st Party Advanced Ports: Splatoon and Mario Kart 8
9. 3rd Party: Fifa16, CoD
10. Future games: Super Mario Switch, Smash Bros, Mario Maker, Xenoblade Chronicles X2, Skyrim, Final Fantasy 7.
11. Big Surprise: Red Dead Redemption 2 (another dream)
I know ive missed some like the rabbids game but this is what I would love to see
People need to keep a 2 things in mind:
1) There will be a Treehouse Live event tomorrow, so it is very likely that the games announced today will not be shown off extensively, but instead will be demoed extensively during the Treehouse Live.
2) E3 2017 will be a mere 3 months after the Switch launches. Do NOT expect Nintendo to "blow their load" and tell us about every single thing they and their partners have been/are working on for the Switch. That's not to say their won't be surprises at this presentation, but a lot of their surprises will be saved for E3.
Today is the day guys! nintendo is going to show us their MOVES, no one is allowed to sleep tonight!
@Other_Dave
This list made me laugh yet I worrying more could be accurate.
I would definitely use Switchywitcheymitcheymoo though.
What do I expect from the Switch event? An internet meltdown. Followed by more rumours until the release date.
I demand that Nintendo show us what Retro has been working on!
PROJECT
GIANT
ROBOT
I really hope there's a sizzle reel of 10-12 significant first party (or AAA 3rd party) titles that are coming, one released each month for the next 10-12 months. Knock our socks off!
Here are my wishes (we won't see it all at the event and most won't happen anyway):
Release-date for the device and games
The price, 250 Dollar/Euro's or less
Power equal to ps4/xboxone or even more
A strong operating system, one that doesn't crash every 5 minutes
Lots of cool first-party titles, no ports
Lots of cool third-party titles, multiplatforms and exclusives
Third-party titles that acually come to retail. If they are all download-only, that would be epic fail
Cool downloads (there will be downloads in abundance anyway)
A strong e-shop from day one. Just take the Wii u one and make it better. Don't start from scratch again!
Normal prices for downloads, we have been ripped of enough
A proper unified account-system
No day-one updates. Start the machine, and of you go!
That's all!
COME ON REGGIE GIVE US TWERKBOUND 3!
@Henmii
I fully agree with all your points except two.
1)Power equal to ps4/xboxone or even more.
LOL. C'mon, when has Nintendo ever talk about specs or power?
That's one question that will not be answered tonight. That question will be answered eventually by the Developers. You may find it somewhat disappointing but back to tonight.
2) No day one updates
I'll bet there is one. At the very least the first week. It is what it is and in the modern world that is what it is.
@Hotfusion,
I agree that Nintendo won't reveal the specs. However, if the games look exactly as good or even better then on ps4/xboxone, then we can deduce that the device is stronger!
@Nintendoforlife Lol I've been trying to get to sleep since 9 but I can't do it! I wanted to watch it live at 4am as well! I didn't think this through, I should have woke up at 6 today or even 5 to get myself used to it.
NA is so lucky, for them it's at 11pm. I hate sleep
@mowerdude Try to recover the files using an external enclosure with eSATA or USB 2.0/3.0. Install a new Windows OS (or a Linux distro if you're adventurous), make sure you have an extra drive large enough to back everything on your old drive up, in case the files can be recovered.
Use CrystalDiskMark or HDTune Pro Trial to check the status of your failed drive. If it reads as Bad, and doesn't appear in Computer Management > Disk Management or Computer/This PC, and you really want to recover those files, you may need to use a Drive Detective program. If it reads as Caution, you can probably use the latest Cobian Backup to retrieve your files, and transfer them to your extra backup drive.
There is one rule that is absolute when it comes to drives: back up everything!
@BiasedSonyFan lol.
"All I wanted was this chipset. You're now officially dead to me Nintendo!"
"$251? Noooooo!"
@Henmii
Of course. In that case let's hope they show some good docked TV games more than on screen games so you can have a good look at the graphics.
One thing to add to your list BTW.
12) I want to expect the unexpected... in a positive way.
@mowerdude When my hard drive died I just lived with it, frankly. Those saves are gone for me, life goes on
Personally, I'd save the money towards a Switch.
4hrs
@KidRad Gamecube games are expensive. When you need that plus the modded console plus controllers, it's making it an expensive endeavor.
I've given up sleeping.
5 am is way too early. Sleep is important
A new game featuring Mario as main playable character!
I am going to have a quick snooze and clock back in about 3:30am for a coffee.
Don't have to be in the office until after lunch so can catch a few hours in the morning.. or better yet the snow shuts down my rail line.
ive doctors appointment in morning, but screw it, i'll catch couple hours after it tomorrow. Though when the doctor asks me why i look like a corpse, i think he might refer me to a psychiatrist when i say "Switch"!! lol
@123akis RIP haha
@ThanosReXXX It'll be good as long as I dont hear the words "Switch exclusive" in regards to Zelda BotW. That's something Nintod wold do, they woudln't bother to outright say - "We canceled the Wii U version." they'll just say "Next up, Switch exclusive Zelda BotW" and pretend the Wii U version never existed. If I get a date tonight for the Wii U version of Zelda BotW everything else is gravy. 3 more hours.
10pm?
lol
@rjejr Well, although I do get your point, I also like to think that people would want the definitive version, which would obviously be the Switch version, so whether or not you already have a Switch at launch, I think most of us will buy one anyway.
I'll be late to that party, as always, since I NEVER buy consoles or handhelds at launch, the Wii U being my crowning achievement, since I only bought that during the holidays a couple of weeks back, but normally, I'm a year or so behind...
@Other_Dave I can't like your comment enough
@Anti-Matter With no swear words of course
HYPE TRAIN!!!!!!!!
Your bodies better be ready!
One hour, everyone. ONE HOUR!!!!!!!!! Get your bodies ready.
1hr
I think I'll poop while I watch it. But all I'm hoping for is a little less kiddie crap than usual. DEMONS AND GORE FTW
Ugg, too much anticipation.....time has stopped now.... need to distract myself for one more hour =(
@BiasedSonyFan So far it's been great, the bedwetters aren't disappointing me. I hope everyone who said "if it costs more than $250 I'm out", are nice enough to shut the door behind them on the way out.
@KidRad oh yeah you need a working CRT. Another expense. Just put it on VC, Nintendo.
@BiasedSonyFan I predicted this event would be very Japan-centric - so I wasn't surprised by the lack of western software on show - most western big budget games go down like a lead balloon in Japan. Considering it was a live event there were very few gaffs in the presentation. Curious to see what pops up in the treehouse though.
