I believe it's April 7th, so less than one month from now. It's also confirmed to use gyro aiming.

It also came with a Deck of Cards that has the characters on them, and a set of display dice styled after the game's themes.
I love the JP Square Enix store exclusive one though. The Deck of Cards are see through from your side but appear solid colored to other players looking at the backs of the cards. It also comes with the 4 Disc Soundtrack and a replica of the Scales of Conviction used in the game for the party casting their vote when making a massive story decision that determines your path.
But it's like $230 at the cheapest on eBay. And Idk if I like it that much 😀

The Show is looking much better than the build they had for the tech test.
This video shows new build gameplay 2 weeks newer than the tech test build (well, its probably old build gameplay now since the video was released 2 weeks ago) and the hitches and brief freeze stutters are gone
Started playing .hack//G.U. Last Recode, which is only 11GB but includes FOUR full games in the collection- the 3 games from PS2 remastered and a 4th new game that provides more closure to the story.
It's actually pretty fun. Really nice cutscenes too- extremely high quality for the PS2 era. The combat is a bit dated (I started with the first game of the 4, obviously) but its not that bad. Action RPG combat is pretty solid given the age of the games, actually.
Overall, it's better than I expected.

Man that early April stretch is packed even with Advance Wars getting delayed. The Show, House of the Dead Remake, Lego Star Wars, and Chrono Cross? Plus Kirby the week before? Yeah that's a packed stretch right there.
Praying that the Switch version of Lego Star Wars runs well or I'll probably have to get the PS5 version.
April's rather empty for me but I have lots of backlog and the chances of me finishing Triangle Strategy before Kirby launches is pretty much 0 given the MK8 Deluxe DLC on Friday. Hoping the MH presentation on Wednesday reveals Sunbreak's release date so I can plan clearing backlog better. MH Rise release date was announced 6 months before launch and MH Stories 2 release date was announced 4 months before launch so it feels like there's a decent chance.

I played Zombie Army Trilogy and it was a fun game and a great Switch port. Of course, Zombie Army is a spinoff from the Sniper Elite series, which focuses on World War II snipers in the fight against Axis powers and eventually taking out Hitler.
A lot of the trademark mechanics from Sniper Elite transfer over to Zombie Army. It's kind of like, Call of Duty Black Ops has Zombies mode? Sniper Elite has Zombie Army. Except its way more fleshed out as its own game, and is much more action focused.
I also love that they always include gyro aiming, HD rumble, and Sniper Elite 4 is legitimately one of the finest looking handheld games I've ever seen. What a stunner! Even Zombie Army Trilogy was a good looking game on Switch, despite being older.
It's crazy that Rebellion brought Sniper Elite v2 and 3, and ppl said, "they'll never bring Sniper Elite 4, it's just too demanding", but then they proved everyone wrong.
Then Rebellion brought Zombie Army Trilogy and ppl said, "they'll never bring Zombie Army 4 though, it's their most ambitious game to date" and yet here they are, proving everyone wrong again lol.
Even the PS/Xbox/Steam versions are selling for more than that and they've been out well over a year. And, don't have gyro aiming, HD rumble or hybrid play.

There are two Triangle Strategy Pinsets as MyNintendo rewards. At least in Europe. Hope in NA as well. I don't know how to few other regions, because it always takes me to my region whatever I do.
@Budda
I saw the character card sets and the journal- I ordered the character card set that was a Gamestop preorder bonus, but the journal was kind of pointless. It was all blank pages inside. Nice if you actually want to map out grids and strategies, I suppose.
Pins never really appealed to me. A lot of the tat just feels like filler. Steelbook cases, artbooks and collectible figures/statues- that's my jam. And the collector box itself, of course.

Heh, they sent me a journal & character cards just for pre-ordering ..... I'll take them back in when I trade the game in eventually! I like my keyrings that came with one of the XBC games & Skyward Sword but I certainly wouldn't pay any extra just for those
Do you think discord will come to switch? Also, I have a friend on discord who dissapeared off my list and his profile says deleted user followed by random numbers. Any idea what's going on?
@DannyBoi
Probably not. Nintendo seems adamant about separating chat on Switch. They've always been overprotective and worried about lawsuits if ppl get harassed or sexually assaulted (like with Flipnote Studio on 3DS).
Maybe their app will add messaging on day, but Im not expecting Discord integration (even though it would be a very smart way to allow chatting while ensuring the responsibility fell on Discord rather than Nintendo).
Sounds like they (or someone in their family) deleted their Discord account.

@Link-Hero just accept anything that Nintendo throws at them
I don't think that's completely true. Plenty of ppl have not signed up for the expansion pack (and of those who have many have leveraged the family plan to do so), many refused to buy games like Star Fox Zero and Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival- there's lots of examples that show ppl dont accept anything thrown at them. They buy the things they deem worthwhile and skip what they deem isnt.
Many ppl have the base online service and would love to see messaging or other features, but since it's needed to play online, and needed to have cloud saves, and needed to play SNES games, and only $20/yr, they still get it. But that doesn't mean everyone who does has no criticisms or desire for more features.
There's been a tsunami of criticism toward Switch online from day one. The problem is that's not enough to change Nintendo's mind. Because ppl are still subbing. It would take a significant percentage of players unsubbing to make a difference. But that's an unreasonable thing to expect of most ppl- giving up online access, and cloud saves, and VC games, in the hopes that maybe somewhere down the line a few years from now Nintendo adds messaging in their app? Nobody's gonna do that. Especially since there's no guarantee what message will be sent to Nintendo in doing so. Everyone has a different complaint or specific feature they want- there's no united front asking for one specific improvement at a time. All Nintendo would see is, "subs down, let's increase value with more timed trials or DLC". They're not going to understand the specifics of why ppl aren't subbing unless there's a united front and push on social media and customer feedback.
Which is why I have always encouraged ppl to speak up and voice their consumer demand on Twitter (in a respectful manner of course). But again, there's no united front. It's "we want folders, we want themes, we want more icons, we want voice chat, we want messaging, we want add to cart, we want better refunds" etc etc. There's a hundred different issues being bellowed out at any given time.
That said, many ppl are perfectly OK with things as they are because they have no need or desire to use the features we're discussing. While I would appreciate messaging, and many others here as well, I'm willing to bet a large number of ppl just couldn't care less one way or the other. It is what it is.
It's not gamers' fault that Nintendo doesn't include messaging. That's on Nintendo, and Nintendo alone. Ppl have tried to enact change over the years- Operation Rainfall with localizations, the push for Metroid, Star Fox and F-Zero back in the Wii U era (which we've seen 2 of the 3 since), the demand for region free, an online account system, preorder refunds, etc. There's been a lot of positive change which I believe is a direct result of fan feedback. There's just some things Nintendo is unwaveringly stubborn about. Communications is one of them.
