@Grumblevolcano LOL, wait, EA leaked it? How does EA even know it, I'd have thought they were smashing their noses up against Reggies office window trying to find out what's going on by now, wiping the fog off every now and then. Unless they're bringing Battlefront and it's lootboxes to Switch....
@Grumblevolcano I've never really kept tabs on the Game Awards as a show (I'm usually only interested in the nominations/winners) ..they usually have a few reveals etc do they? - might have to give it a watch then!
Is there a way at all that I can play it on TV without using the dock? Got my switch coming tomoz and don't have screen protector yet and don't like the idea of docking it
@YummyHappyPills Yet it is illegal to overcharge or undercharge by a large margin according to EU law.
Anyway, it always works out in my favour. Digital games are €60, or they used to be, they seem to be €70 ever since BOTW. Physical games are always less than €60, around €52 for me in most cases.
@YummyHappyPills Really? That's interesting. I just assumed MSRP was a worldwide standard. I know they often do it in Asia. Actually I kind of like your system better.....MFRs dictating pricing makes retail irrelevant which isn't really good.
@Davey1988 Not without buying unofficial accessories. Your call on docking it. MOST people have no problems with docking undocking, there was a subset of deformed docks back at launch that were causing actual screen scratches due to defects. Some (all) of us do have tiny microscratches on the side bezel (the outer lens of the screen OUTSIDE the display area where it's glued to the frame) that are really only visible in bright sunlight or if you hold it up to a light source at the right angle. I've docked mine every single day since March 3 at least once, and other than the bezel-to-dock interactions' tiny micro-scratches on the bezel (outer frame area of the lens). But since you already intend to use a screen protector, no harm in waiting so you can avoid even that. That's not really a defect but an expected wear area where two surfaces abrade in normal use, but if you would rather it be guaranteed pristine, just wait until you have your protector.
@NEStalgia Fe is coming out for Switch so EA would know about a Direct if Fe was featured in it.
@NaviAndMii Yes, The Game Awards has some reveals. The Nintendo side of reveals have been so far out of the ones I've watched:
2013 - Cranky Kong in Tropical Freeze (was called VGA back then)
2014 - First BotW gameplay
2016 - First look at a certain area in BotW (before then most BotW footage was Great Plateau)
Yes, a lot of BotW and I'm sure it'll return yet again this year in the form of DLC Pack 2 but as Switch is in a much better position than Wii U was last year there'll probably be other Nintendo announcements too.
@YummyHappyPills Oh, that's the same here then (MSRP (manufacturer's suggested price) is the same as your RRP.) I think you were thinking I was talking about MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) which is a whole different (and frankly, a very legal gray area that IMO wouldn't hold up in court if challenged.....but high end products like Sennheiser audio equipment enforce their pricing structure on their dealers. NO idea why that has NOT been challenged in court yet.)
It's just no retailer is idiotic enough to charge OVER MSRP (except Gamestop when they force you to buy bundles on Nintendo hardware......)
@Davey1988 No. that was another of the crazy "Nintendo is doomed, Switch is going to fail!" rumors going around. I'm not sure it was ever confirmed it ever happened to any real unit...the youtubers presenting it had some sketchy conditions to their videos indicating they probably had it weighted, say, in a backback, not in the dock. Someone on this forum claimed it happened to them. However, if that happens, (or is even capable of happening) it has only happened to handfuls of launch units, and was obviously a defect in those units (maybe a defective cooling fan/heatspreader attachment or some such issue.) I.E. If these things happen to a Switch it's because it was already broken in the box, and the symptoms hadn't manifested yet. Proper working ones don't have that happen
@Grumblevolcano Ohhh Fe is coming to Switch? That's so cool, I hadn't heard about that. That was actually the only game along with the new NFS game that actually caught my attention during their two hour FIFA/Madden/Battlefield/Battlefront soozestravaganza at E3, but I didn't see Switch on there and wrote it off as well.
@YummyHappyPills That's because we use all kinds of different currencies in Europe, so it's difficult to announce a standard price. Sure, there's the euro, but the UK uses GBP, Denmark uses Danish kroner, Swiss francs in Switszerland, the Czech koruna in the Czech Republic, etc.
I challenge anyone to watch this Xenoblade Chronicles 2 GameXplain review and not rush out to preorder when it's done.
Game looks really impressive in handheld mode too.
@gcunit
Use the discount on another game and buy RE Rev 2 separately. Just pretend you got the discount on it instead.
It's worth 20 though. RAID mode alone you'll get your money's worth. You can play it solo or you can play with a friend or a random online, or with a friend locally on separate Switches or splitscreen. And it's crazy awesome fun with the motion controls and HD rumble and reloading gesture (hands-down the coolest use of motion gestures to date and single handedly justifies the IR sensor). These games could have sold $40 a pop and I'd still say they're worth it. But just $19.99? That's basically the price of a cheap indie game.
@JaxonH You know what's funny is that's the first thing I watched or read today X2 related and I'm glad I did. I went in not really caring about the game to I really need this game. It addressed my main complaint about the first game and just his description of the story made me want it that much more.
With that said I dont have time for it this year nor should I buy it this year. I've spent way to much already and still want Zen Pinball and Yooka-Laylee. It will have to wait till next year but that's still pretty good considering I didn't want it at all when I woke up this morning.

If I was only ever able to have Monster Hunter and EO games in the future, I would be a happy man.
At the very least, the thought must have crossed your mind though... ya? YA? 😉
I'm waiting on physical for Yooka Laylee I think Spoony. At 6 GB I have to be careful with the indie games I download and grab as many of them physically as possible, now that I am making it a point to buy all the top retail games digitally which take up a lot of space. With limited run games and that other company jumping in to make physical releases next year, along with Nicalis and a few others, I'll be grabbing a number of smaller games physically to leave room for the big ones... like Xenoblade 2. Some of these I already bought digitally, and some I'll keep installed as well, but there are a ton of games getting retail releases- Worms, Wonderboy, Yooka Laylee, Rocket League, Shantae Half Genie Hero, Minecraft, Overcooked, Lost Sphear, etc. hopefully Sonic Mania and Steamworld Dig 2 and Shovel Knight at some point.
