Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@RR529 What's your father's deal yo?

Also, I'm guessing the sound you were describing was a "Pfft" or "Tcch".

If you're going to talk about impact....

Good lord.

@Vee_Flames, I forgot about the MrClean one! That one was pretty funny.

I'm most disappointed with what Coke had this year, just because it wasn't anything new. The Coca-Cola ad was a repeat of last year's ad, and the Sprite ad was just the regular everyday one. Also, no clydesdales from Budwieser this year, which was a shame (I don't drink, but the clydesdale commercials are always viewer favorites, so the absence was baffling. Oh, and no Doritos ads! They always put out at least one really funny one each year. Really bad turnout for those 3 companies.

So the Switch has an ad in one of the most mind blowing games ever that smashed records for the game as a whole.

Dumb luck but itll help

@BLP_Software
lol yea
The commercials were definitely a bit of a let-down, but the game was AMAZING. One of the best of my lifetime, for sure, though the first half was all Falcons. After that, though, it was a treat to watch. Historic game in so many ways.

On our note, it's great that Nintendo had their commercial in the second half while the Patriots were climbing back up.

@smm1
Of all those you mention, the only one I'm pretty sure I never read anywhere was the Bayo port. I've read forums of people begging for it to be ported to Switch or other consoles (again), but never from one of our supposed leakers.

Just checked my pre-orders on Amazon for the games, and all appears okay though I've noticed that The Legend Zelda Breath of the Wild special edition is now set to dispatch on 4th March with an estimated delivery date of 7th. Has anyone else had this happen?

@FragRed My Amazon order for the concole and Zelda, to be shipped from France to Finland, had the dispatch date set for 4th and the delivery date for between 7th and 9th right when I ordered. I chose the 2-4 day delivery, but the weekend delays the delivery.

I hope they end up shipping it before launch day. x)

mine is the same, swapping the delivery method worked.

Mine still says arriving March 3rd, but what I'm worried about is the Pro Controller that still says delivery date pending.

I'm still on a fence whether to pre-order this console or not. The only thing that stands in my way is more information about the console, and that we will definitely know for sure this month.

YouTube is holding a Super Bowl 2017 Ad Blitz, where you can vote for your favorite commercial, but after looking through the list at least 3 times over, they have every single commercial aired, EXCEPT the Switch ad as an option...

Didn't go online for a day and people are talking about voting for commercials. Am I the only one that doesn't get it and thinks this is a little weird?

@RR529 Hang on you CAN'T vote for the Nintendo Switch ad? Is that deliberate or did someone s screw up over at YouTube?

@Octane
Eh, it's what we do lol

When I was young everyone would always go into school the next day and talk about their favorite commercial. I suppose this is just the evolution of that.

@rallydefault I don't know man, getting excited for commercials, that's a strange world for sure haha!

I must say, it sounds kind of strange to me also. Okay, i'm not from US, maybe that's the reason why i don't get it. I have always think that commercials are more pain in the ass.

It's literally absent from the playlist. From what I can tell, all the other 2017 ads are there, even some I didn't see (I assume local commercials covered them up?), but the Switch ad is nowhere on the playlist.

Not sure why, though.

EDIT: As for those confused about the talk about commercials, the Super Bowl is by far the most watched program in the U.S. every year, so advertisers usually go out of their way to make their commercials as crazy and attention grabbing as possible (huge special effects budgets, celebrities, etc.), as well as a bunch of trailers for most of the new spring & summer blockbusters (this year I think there was Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Ghost in the Shell, Transformers: the Last Knight, Logan, Pirates of the Caribbean 5, & Baywatch). Competition for Super Bowl airtime is so intense, that I think a 30 second spot costs an average of $2 Million to secure.

I would not be surprised if it's a Nintendo thing. Considering how strict they are with people who play their videos. Doubt it's a conspiracy.
