Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today | Teaser Nintendo Switch

I’m sorry if this is not the right place to post this but I would really like a Pro Controller for my Switch. There are so many on Amazon with mixed reviews I don’t know what to do. The official Pro Controllers are so expensive...

@Hatsune_Pichu Maybe just save up for a while and get the official one? It's something you'll be using for years anyway, and they can't be that much more money than third party ones.

@Hatsune_Pichu Be careful with those third party ones as they don't have a lot of features. Most if not all are missing gyro and Amiibos support.

8bitdo is making a SNES inspired controller with gyro, but no amiibo.

Thank you both @Spoony_Tech and @Hieronymus-E. I didn’t consider Amiibo support so I could have made a terrible mistake thank you for stopping me. I do love my Miibs it’s just the past few months has been really expensive game wise and October is the worst! (In the best way of course).

Hmm... anyone heard any news about those three Warriors games coming next month to Japan? I'm still considering importing them eventually if they have English translations available, and unlike most of the previous Japan only games these already had English releases so it's not like it would be hard to include. Of course, I'm still holding off under the assumption that Koei-Tecmo doesn't want to announce more Warriors titles in the west until next year, since dropping them a week after Fire Emblem Warriors wouldn't fly in this market.

The new look for Xbox Live Rewards is basically Club Nintendo for Xbox. Xbox Live Rewards previously acted very similar to the Wii U Deluxe Digital Promotion where you'd buy digital content and be rewarded for your purchase by getting more Xbox credit, there were other things but the main point was buy stuff and get more credit to buy more stuff.

But now they've added an extra thing called "gems". You get them from doing stuff like watching Mixer streams for a certain amount of time per week, preordering games and plenty of other ways which you can use to get digital and physical rewards. From an Xbox Live Gold subscription code to controllers all the way to stuff like 4K TVs and VR equipment.

The advancements being made with Xbox Live Rewards are making My Nintendo seem even more bad and useless.

@DarthNocturnal
Just signed in myself, and unless I'm mistaken, it is now incorporated into Microsoft's main site like everything else has been - so it should work.

If only we had an Xbox thread...

You beat me to this comment by 4 minutes.

@DarthNocturnal That wasn't a derailment, that was death by Xbox Live Rewards signing-in talk. Those posts have probably just killed the Switch, as thousands of potential buyers flocked to this thread for Switch hype, and we anesthetized their minds to the point where they're going to be spending the rest of their days mumbling about the upcoming launch of an Xbox Live Rewards site.

I posted it here as a look at what's happening with other rewards programs while My Nintendo is still as bad as it was at launch back in March 2016.

So many games coming out this week.
Axiom Verge
Earth Atlantis
Stardew Valley
Are the 3 I'm getting this week.

Only Stardew Valley for me. That'll keep me occupied until Mario launches later in the month.

So, from what I can tell, Nintendo is largely solving the stock issues in NA. The system is consistently in stock on Amazon and probably other online retailers as well. Moreover, I went into a Gamestop the other day and saw a bunch of systems ready to sell.

Yeah the past few weeks in best buy, Wal-Mart and gamestop and target i see lotsa Switches in stock.

Axiom Verge is THIS week?

Hang me by the toes. I'm plain out of spending cash.

If I buy any games before Odyssey lands itll just be me spending for a break from depression. :/

Yea, i looked online, all the targets and gamestops in my state have them in stock so i want to see if they stay in stock through Christmas cuz i think they'll sell out

Considering selling mine.
