@BigKing And you know none of those posters, stickers, etc. are ever going to see the light of day. They'll stay in the box forever because collectors won't want to actually use them.
@vanYth Yeah! I realized that I hadn't actually checked the eShop price in a while (had no interest as I was waiting for the physical version)... I assumed the digital versions of this would be cheaper by now though, considering how cheap a brand new physical PS4 or Xbox copy is. Can't wait for that all-digital future...
So many comments saying that 1-2-Switch should have been given away for free. Personally I've never had any interest in the game but 2.5 million people bought it.
2.5 million x $50 = $125 million in sales.
And you're all saying Nintendo was wrong to not give this 'tech demo' away for free.
@Angelic_Lapras_King Thanks! That's my plan actually, to buy one for use with my GameCube so I'm interested if the size, weight and feel of these new ones are the same as the originals. And the rumble feature, of course.
Are these new controllers exactly the same as the original GameCube controllers (aside from the Smash logo in place of where 'Nintendo GameCube' is usually written)?
The interviewer tells Reggie that the NES Classic is still flying off shelves, to which Reggie quietly replied 'Yeah'. How can it fly off shelves when there isn't any stock in the shops? Later in the interview he says Nintendo knew the NES Classic was a huge idea. So why didn't they manufacture a lot more systems? It's March and I'm yet to see one of these things.
Reggie is more than happy to talk about the positives - early Switch sales, the reception Zelda received, etc. As soon as the fan questions are put to him he shuts down. He's the 'President', yet it seems he isn't allowed to make any decisions. He's not even able to comment on anything. His job title should be 'Head of Public Relations', or something along those lines.

Re: Limited Run Games Lists Yooka-Laylee And Dust On Website, Prepares For Pre-Orders
From the Limited Run website:
"Please note that the higher price is due to this title's eShop price of $39.99 (most games we sell are priced at $19.99 or less on the eShop)."
Re: Limited Run Games Lists Yooka-Laylee And Dust On Website, Prepares For Pre-Orders
I've been waiting for news on Yooka-Laylee...but now I'm not too pleased to see that it's going to cost $50. I was expecting $30.
Re: Pokémon GO Is Allegedly Abusing Its Android Storage Read Permissions To Combat Rooting
@Octane Privacy issues don't worry him whatsoever. As long as nobody is cheating in a children's game, he's happy.

Re: Nintendo Has Sold 19.67 Million Switch Consoles To Date
@s4ndm4n Yes, it should read $1.513 billion. There's no way they have made over one trillion dollars in sales.
Re: Nintendo Announces New 2DS XL Minecraft, Mario Kart 7 And Animal Crossing Consoles For Japan
@Cathousemaster The New 2DS (which these are) folds and has two screens. The original 2DS had two screens but didn't have a folding design.
