Well......expiring coins and free movies I don't have so I guess I will get them, Nintendo needs to step up their game with this program or just get rid of it. I'm not nearly the consumer most of you are and I still can't use my coins. At this point it is annoying

Can't wait to try this game out on my Switch!

Wish there were a few more games but I will preorder this.......although I should preorder 3 or 4 to pay for the 1 I want cause you know these are gonna be selling for $400 on ebay.

SURPRISE!!!! SNES Mini is actually a dock for your Switch that comes with 30 preloaded SNES games and adds 8GB pf memory to your Switch and costs $149.99

At least that's what a Funcoland manager told me when I bought my N64

Sonydoooooomed.........just kidding.....

Nintendo does well with portable devices and the market sees the Switch as that. Until they hit a lull in sales and demand expect the stocks to inch up. A good time to sell would probably be right before their investors meeting in January, until then it should continue to rise or maintain it's price. The investor meeting will probably cause a fall because holiday sales won't meet the unrealistic expectations of the day traders

Nintendo values their property more so then any other gaming company. That is why sales are few and far between and limited and is why games in stores don't get the 3 month to $19.99 discount that most other games get. This is part of that valuing of their products and properties. Reggie always fumbles over his own words but really, no matter what he said, there would be people complaining about their free game being taken away from them......which is exactly the point of them taking it down

3rd parties will succeed on Switch if they are A) Honest B) Deliver C) Be Creative. Stop making annualized games for Nintendo.....well Just Dance keep making that cause it sells I guess.....but be honest, we aren't making X game because Switch is a unique gaming option that is different from consoles and PC, instead our vision is "whatever" and we love the system so we plan on bringing 1 (or what ever the number is) game a year to Switch along with DLC periodically to keep our sports franchises, shooters, RPG's, sim games, whatever fresh. Here is COD switch, and GTA Switch, and AC Switch, and FF Switch , even if they are remasters of older titles that never made a Nintendo Console with some added content they would present an option and build a fanbase within the community.

Ehh I'm ranting, but still if PES18 was announced for Switch and Konami said it was the only PES they were planning on making for the system, but would produce Paid DLC annually for rosters, I think they would be surprised by the sales. Of course they game would have to work well and they would have to follow through on what they promised

I'm expecting a Switch cartridge release of the NES Mini collection close to December for $59.99. Guarenteed NES games on the go no WiFi or storage space needed

If they can have a "major release" every 3 weeks then they will be doing well. 6-8 major Nintendo releases a year and the rest filled in by 3rd party titles. Get about 6 of the major yearly console titles and 4 exclusive made for Switch titles and I doubt you'd hear much complaining from the masses.

If I can find time to play this, I'd like to try it but it's hard to find time to donate to this style of game. Zelda took me 2 months of 30 mins to an hour, at a time playing to finish and I ignored a lot of things I should have been doing to play it.

Who am I kidding I'll probably buy it and ignore more important things

I always hated the gamecube controllers, I know its not a popular opinion, but they just are weird to use for me......my switch pro controller though is almost perfect so I'll pass on this weird barely functioning fix

X Box 1 X might be a worse name then Wii U..............but it will sell a some, like the PS4 Pro. MS and Sony will be announcing next gen systems in 2 years though. Gonna be interesting to see how the gamers react to a constant refresh of consoles.

Thought it was a really good E3. Very excited about a few games that were announced, some decent surprises, and what appears to be a solid 1st party lineup for the rest of 2017 and well into 2018. I'm sure there will be more announced too.

I was disappointed by the DLC for BotW, was hoping for something better, but just means I will save $20. I was also hoping for a little more 3rd party support announced, but if the Switch keeps selling like it is, we will get some more 3rd party titles.

Over all I thought it was excellent though and was very happy and the tree house segments are getting a lot more polished and entertaining

I think they will have 2 or 3 Directs before the offical Holiday season and address a lot of the unknowns.......but Reggie just struggles with these events. They need someone else to do these interviews and let Reggie handle the direct skits and handshaking

I'd still need a computer capable of playing games on STEAM right? Great idea but not gonna get used by me and my lack of a computer from the last 5 years

Wonder if they will have it streaming to the news section of the Switch? Maybe I'll watch it on the Wii U one last time.......

I hope they stay away from ARMS at least in the 25 minute spotlight. I expect Oddessy, FEWarriors, XC2 and maybe Rabbids V Mario if it isn't featured in Ubisoft's presentation. I'm hoping for 3-5 major 3rd party games being shown off in the spotlight that are "unknown" as of now. A couple teasers of whats coming in 2018 and maybe end with a Indie hype reel with 1 final big 2 minute trailer of ???? To end the spotlight.

For the treehouse, I just want them to be themselves, have fun and show off everything E3 for a couple days.

The tournaments just need to be well organized and hiccup free.....if they are watchable then they will be a nice change of pace for the event

Pornhub is mad that their traffic has been way down since the release of the Switch so they have partnered with Nintendo to bring the first streaming app to the Switch.

The servers are just being prepped for the onslaught of activity

30 minutes is probably enough when 25 will be spent on Switch.......3DS just had it's swan song with S&M Ultra and I cant see much new info being given for the handheld as it nears the end.

I know.....3DS has plenty of life, 60 mil users, Nintendo won't abandon blah blah........but I think it is happening and E3 will confirm the direction Nintendo is headed and it seems like that direction is Switch focused

Me thinks this is now the best 3D Sonic.........

Great game and I completed the story in about 55 hours beating the 4 divine beasts, getting all memories, but only getting about 60 seeds.....I started working hard to find them but at about 30 and having an expanded inventory, I just kinda quit trying for them.

I would like to see a continuation of this style, I'm sure Nintendo will expand and improve upon the formula and I can't wait to see what they do next with the series. This was my favorite Zelda title surpassing the 1st and OoT

Single player mode in Splatoon was brilliant and I would have paid for DLC for it. Here's hoping for 2 to be just as good and expanded on

Between this and the rumor that Animaniacs might get a reboot.......my day is infinity better then it was earlier

Game looks good......I haven't purchased any of the Neo Geo games yet but every time one is released It's a struggle to not spend the cash.

Also made me laugh laugh seeing the Papa Roach tag line as I just seen them at a festival and forgot how many of their songs I knew, well done Mitch.

My kids will want it, I'm in team pass, but I don't like fighters so it isn't for me to say.

Still these appear fake and I'm hoping we get a Smash 5 instead of Smash 4 Deluxe

Platinum Chess Simulator! A real life computer simulatuon of what playing chess is like

My boys button mashed & waggled for an hour with out great success.....they won a few games against what I suspect were fellow button mashers and got destroyed vs everyone else........still they thought it was great and had a lot of fun

The Cubbies..........oh come on, not the Cubbies........only because when I was little their stupid baseball games would be on instead of cartoons in the afternoon.

I still kinda hold a grudge against them......plus as a Detroit fan we hate all things Chicago......and Ohio.......we hate a lot

That's a lot of missing features for $29.99......think I will get a second set of JoyCons next time they are on sale

@rjejr - it could work as a Codename STEAM. Definitely is weird. I like weird and turned based......and secretly like the Rabbids cartoon. I'm hopeful that it can be something fun.

A lot of things go into pricing more then just, a Switch cost X therefore accessories should cost percentage of X. What kind of additional sales will the sale provide, what are the costs of manufacturing less items with individual boxes, what is the cost to me as a company vs only producing 1 item. Economics and finance combined with 18 different marketing graphs give them a number. If it's selling to their expectations then they did well pricing it....any over selling or under selling means they screwed something up.

The only thing I'm not willing to purchase is a 2nd dock for $80......to me they priced everything else pretty well. I don't need an extra joy con charger, pro controller is amazing especially at the $60 I paid and a 64gb micro SD card pillaged from an old phone is probably more then I need.

@Octane - you can't look at profit just for this item though.....you have to look at it vs the profit they make off the switch hardware and the adjustments they make to manufacturing when separating this from the normal package. Then the profit and availability of all items have to make it worth it to Nintendo to manufacture this as a stand alone item. Profit grab......absolutely, but it is something they probably only want to sell in limited quantities right now to make sure they can manufacturer enough switch hardware packages to meet current high demand.

I don't like the way I typed that but in other words.....I don't wanna sell 300K docks if I have to reduce the number of switches I can manufacture and sell by 100K.....so I price it as a luxury item to control the amount sold

Worth it for people who travel between homes a lot. I'd like 1 for my parents house but for that price I will wait a while and see if there are deals in the fall.

If I had a summer cabin I'd buy it for the $80

I'd probably use the Mummy or Ninjara or Kid Cobra. My sons seen the Direct and are begging for this game. Not sure we will buy it though. At least not for a while.

I'm not a fighter fan usually so I doubt I will play it much anyway

My kids are counting down the days till Splatoon 2 arrives.......but a new challenger has arrived in ARMS.........I'm already getting Christmas and Birthday requests......and just plain begging for both games........Nintendo has some magic in this household

Some neat shirts but I dont like white or black shirts so not much for options for me

Glad to hear no live stage show. They are awkward and hardly well done by any of the gaming companies. Give me an hour long entertaining Direct and then hours of sometimes awkward treehouse segments and I'll be happy.

My prediction for tomorrow's investor's meeting.........is pain!

Monster Hunter is going to be on Switch......the Japanese sales are too good so far for it not to make it. Pokémon is a pretty good bet too, and when those are announced and released sales will spike. E3 could be huge for the Switch but even if it is just an average E3.....the known games are going to keep it selling well in most regions through 2017.

Love the game. Wondering, since they already have the engine, if we may get a MM type situation and get another Switch Zelda game in 2 or 3 years. I wouldn't mind maybe going back in time to try and avoid the 100 years of destruction and seeing less ruin, or maybe that is the DLC.

I know the "dungeons" are a sore spot for some, but I liked the quick challenge of the Shrines.....for someone who can't devote hours at a time to the game, it is much easier to keep the flow of the game going in 30 min chunks then constantly saving in a dungeon and coming back to the same over and over again.

I have to assume Tantalus is already working on something for Switch. Probably be an E3 surprise. They did a great job with ME3 and LoZTP for Wii U, and I'd assume someone has them working on a port. I'm sure Nintendo would love to farm out remasters and remakes to them to keep their own dev teams free to do new things.

@BLP_Software - could be right. Definitely could have been a loss leader to keep them relevant for a few months. But these plug and play devices have been around, most notably Sega and Atari. Be interesting to hear what they say at the investors meeting about it.......if anything.

@k8sMum - just a hunch.........Nintendo is not fond of over saturation of their markets, but something here seems off and considering how easy this should be to pump out and sell, either the cost isn't worth the profit, or manufacturing has issues.....otherwise, why discontinue it until you can actually find one in a store. My guess is they are having issues with the manufacturer but won't say so for professional courtesy

Has to be issues with the manufacturer.......I bet they aren't happy and are working through the contract and will have a different manufacturer for the SNES Classic and we will see the NES Classic again sometime in the future

We are getting confirmation of Mother 3, a New F-Zero, Metroid Prime HD trilogy, a teaser for Metroid Prime 4, Star Tropics Switch, Golden Sun Switch, Luigi's Mansion 3, Pokemon Stars, and VC for all Nintendo published games from NES through Wii available on the eshop immediately after the direct with all Wii and Wii U digital purchases transferring to your switch........and you can order customized carts of vc games for $34.99......OMG this is going to be the greatest day EVER!!!!!!!!

but I'm keeping my expectations in check............

I don't expect surprises, more of a teaser direct before E3. Probably throw in a few things new but nothing that will be jaw dropping. I assume any giant bombs Nintendo has will be dropped at E3. But they need to do something pre E3 to keep the momentum going so here it is.

I suspect release date around E3 for ARMS
More info on Switch online functionality
4 new things in Splatoon2 shown off
Indie sizzle reel and 1 new unknown eshop game featured
3DS portion with Oasis, Pikmin, and FE echos plus something eshop related.
End on an expanded trailer for something we already know

I'm waiting on Nintendo to come out with a flood of news in hopes that they will offer an incentive for those that have MK8 already. Probably unlikely, but if they do I'd buy it for Switch, otherwise I can live without it

@AlexOlney - I don't like these video interviews, so could you turn the video into a written article......then tape yourself reading the article so I don't have to read it?

I'm partial to the very beginning, the feeling of being overwhelmed by the adventure and the world and kinda wondering what next and why.

As you progress, and the controls become instinctive and events unfold, the world starts to feel smaller and less scary so to speak. Not that it isn't still full of wonder, but it feels more manageable. Maybe an odd opinion, but I like the uncertainty of the start.

We will know a lot more after April 1st and more so after the financial meeting in mid April. I doubt Nintendo is going to over produce though. If anything they will be more conservative with their approach because of the Wii U sales and the stock they never really got rid of until the end when no one wanted it anymore.

The Switch is designed around "special editions". If they over produce now that takes away from the 100 variations they can easily make over the course of Switch's lifetime.

I think they have built this machine to be upgraded too. I think Switch as a brand will be like DS and 3DS with multuple upgrades, but still 1 generation. We shall see though.
