Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Kermit1 They took the 15th 'leak' and claimed definitively that it was happening.... then the second it was deconfirmed, theyimmediately latched onto the next rumour and once again claimed definitively that that one was happening, blatantly ignoring what they had just said days prior. Definitely seems like the kind of person to ride a train rather than conduct it if you ask me.

@Fizza lol, ain't that the truth.

@Fizza

Waiting for the direct be like:

Yeah it wouldn't surprise me to see them do a Partner Showcase or two, an Indie World, and a Splatoon 3 Direct to cover their summer announcements. Oh, and a standalone Twitter announcement for the Mario Kart DLC.

That would be it until a regular general Direct in September.

@IceClimbers that sounds like a pretty Nintendo thing to do, I'd be fine with that, this year is already pretty stacked as it is.

@IceClimbers Partner Showcase is what I think the rumoured June 29th Direct will be because July onwards is looking light on the 3rd party front. Start with Persona and end with Bayonetta 3 kind of thing.

I have a question, I shut off my Switch when I'm not using it (or when it's not docked), I like to shut it down at 100% and some times when I turn it on it's at 99% or 98%, I've looked into it and all I can find is that it is a chemical thing.

So can anyone explain to me or send an article.

Taiko no Tatsujin Rhythm Festival launches September 23rd:

Gosh dang it, they know how to hit my wallet in the Achilles heel.

Only $39.99/ea (which is cheap for figures of this size and quality compared to prices nowadays) and, they're releasing Edelgard and Bernadetta from Black Eagles, then Dimitri and Felyx from Blue Lions, then Claude and Ingrid from Golden Deer.

It's the only figures for all 3 lords, and, it's a Bernie figure! I can't pass up on a Bernie figure!

This, after the two Monster Hunter Creator's Models for Gore Magala and Malzeno (which, after seeing how Malzeno teleports around in fights, modeled after a vampire, it's too awesome not to have).

@JaxonH how much for the Gore Megala figure? i want them so much

@JaxonH Edelgard figure? Is that a Pop Up Parade release? Cause if so that's an instant buy for me.

@Giancarlothomaz
Depends where you buy. Less than $100 on Amiami but shipping will be a lot. $120 on Goodsmile but shipping is less.

@Primo40295
It is indeed!

@JaxonH Thanks, gonna end up getting all the lords then.

1 day to Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes!

And just 7 days to Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak!!!

The final week countdown has begun

@JaxonH WOW that quite expensive

@Giancarlothomaz
The Monster Hunter creator's models are large and extremely detailed and finely crafted. They're high tier figures. Granted, I do think they're charging too much. They should all be $100 tops, and they used to be, but in recent years prices have risen considerably.

Even so, that's the going rate. And the ones that are sold out sell for double, sometimes triple, on the secondhand market.

So I like to get my preorder in. I bought both through amiami.com and combined shipping into 1 order to save money. Cheaper shipping options should be around $70 which is about $35/ea, which coupled with the favorable conversion rate for the JP price, is less than it would be buying from Goodsmile.

@Giancarlothomaz @JaxonH
Those prices are still quite affordable I think.
Now, First 4 Figures and Hot Toys, those are expensive.

@Tremblucay i live in Brazil where the current dolar excange rate is R$5.15 for 1 dolar, now add this too $100= R$522.49

@Giancarlothomaz
It's not because the exchange rate is 5 to 1 that you pay 5 times more. That's not how it works.

AI: The Somnium Files is on sale for $7.99. That's an absolute steal. Highly recommended to anyone still on the fence.
