Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I'm calling it right now. The "certain feature" will have something to do with the vibration thing mentioned in the patents. Sort of a really advanced rumble feature that gives you certain sensations depending on what you're doing in games, such as struggling with a fish on a rod, or something similar to that anyway. If I'm wrong, I will eat my hat.

I must say this is the first Nintendo console that I can say I don't give a **** about. After the disaster that was the Wii U, poor marketing of things such as the NES Classic, Amiibos and other Nintendo products, and I am not the least bit excited. This will be the first Nintendo Console I won't be buying at launch and honestly that doesn't bother me.

It's really sad to see how Nintendo has become a former shell of itself.

Pfff nice one, haha! That'll be the real reason why the Switch will be a commercial success.

Hey man, watch the event and give them a few months to market the system first. Maybe they've learned.

@KirbyTheVampire Haha yeah, sorry but they had the chance to learn with the NES Classic. They can't market their products unless of course they get rid of the whole marketing department which I don't see happening.

@Tasuki What a statement considering the legit positive buzz going on nearing this event.

@Tasuki They did market it though. Word-of-mouth carried it alone. It most definitely did not need any further marketing than that considering it was a one-off novelty item.

@Tasuki Well thats fine. I aint picking one up either. Not because itll be bad but because id probably lose my degree at a sony partnered uni. Already had marks knocked off for being positive about Nintendo.

Itll be worth it in the end...I hope. Either way the 9th Generation is upon us in a lose sense and thats ways exciting to see if nothing else.

Just a reminder, for those of you interested in playing Nintendo Bingo, I made a separate forum post here!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
A lot of Developers, especially indie devs still don't have access to the Dev kit so that report isn't to be taken as a final Verdict.

@DjLewe78 Yup. AAA devs are the minority despite their games getting the most attention.

She doesn't want it reported but she's tweeting it, huh?

I hope that's true, but as far as I know she's gotten stuff wrong before, so who knows.

Anyone know if Amazon CA will be taking preorders? Not sure if it'll only be Amazon US/UK etc. If not, would Wal-Mart be a good place to preorder? I don't have a Gamestop or anything similar near me.

For my own health, I've decided to see the replay because I didn't get to rest for 17 hours straight. So, I hope you guys enjoy the show.

@Azooooz
Yea, I thought about staying up... but I don't think I will. My main concern is being able to pre-order, to be honest.

Beside, I can't wake up at 7 AM. It's weekend in my country.

Hope you guys won't get any streaming troubles...I hope, but this is Nintendo.

However, I'll get some 5 hours rest, maybe I get the chance to watch the event together.

@KirbyTheVampire I don't see why not. Only Amazon in the US has the problem with Nintendo due to the 3DS price drop. You could also probably preorder from EB, and Best Buy as well.
