Ah, the Nintendo Life comments section, a cesspool of hatred and cannibalism.

These rumors makes sense considering this is Nintendo we're talking about. Voice chat could just mean what it always means with Nintendo; as in technically there, but no one being "allowed" to use it.
Even the trash storage size makes sense because Nintendo wouldn't be Nintendo if they didn't cheap out (and proceed to overprice the console, though at least this time there MIGHT be a chance that the Switch might not be considered overpriced of they can release it for $200).

Not too bad, but I'll just stick with the Steam sales.

Very lovely. Love seeing hardware images of handhelds.

No, it makes no sense that it would be Switch hardware and not a Switch.

Hahah, no. The Switch is far too big to attach to a headset.

Eh, whatever makes them moneyz.

When Gameloft pulled this BS starting with Modern Combat 5, I said nope not doing that.
The only games worth buying that have an always online connection are MMORPGs; games that have actual content to back up the price (though what every individual person gets out of an MMO varies) and have the biggest potential out of any genre in existence to continue growing.

@Xaessya
Monster Hunter has been doing this since the beginning. Where have you been?

Meh. If I'm spending $10 on a mobile game, it'll be on something with actual value. Still gotta finish Agarest.

Just let Project Aces make a Star Fox game. It's been far too long since a good Star Fox was made and at this point I think only that team can do it.

Was an alright game. Could've been better if they had a better sound design and if it had an action RPG battle system rather than the drab auto-battle system inspired by old, tired MMORPGs. Also if it didn't have unnecessary censorship and a text scaling option; way too hard to read anything.
I would've much preferred an open world The Last Story 2 though. Really hope Sakaguchi will be getting back into console development soon.

@Anti-Matter
All storage mediums fail/die eventually. Nintendo hardware is not spared from that.
And if you wanted cartoonish games, PC is chock full of that. The modern fool believes that PC gaming only equates to the console ports it receives when in fact PC gaming so, so much more. Windows has the biggest library of games. Ever. Nothing else comes close or will ever come close. So you're not limited to just dark, gritty, "hyper realistic" games.

yawn
Just let me know when The Last Story 2 gets made.

What berry?

@CrazyMetroid
Of course, it'd be insane for Nintendo to just simply give away their IPs. But they seriously do need to allow other devs freedom to develop games using their IP with minimal interference aside from image and quality control. Give tips to keep the game good and to keep the game in line with what makes the IP feel like a Nintendo IP, but don't be too controlling.

@J-Manix98
Yeah I have nothing from Walmart either. No cancellation or shipping (to store) confirmation.
Well, I would actually want to stop the cancellation now, since my friend actually does want to buy the black one off me since he missed the deals. Unfortunately Walmart doesn't have an option to stop a cancellation...oh well.

Let him have it Nintendo. And while you're at it, let Project Aces have Star Fox. Give Sega F-Zero, too, they know how to make things fast.....ish.Don't think about it, just do it. We all know that you're incapable of making the right decisions for your IPs nowadays.

@J-Manix98
It was an order received confirmation, but now I just got a shipping confirmation with tracking

@Graeme
2018 would probably be the last year it sees any significant releases. Unlike Sony, Nintendo doesn't build their consoles to be viable for devs for longer than 6 years nor do they have a good enough relationship with 3rd parties to keep getting games made after a platform has "died" like Sony does.

@J-Manix98
Well, I'll probably just sleep and hope that in the morning I get the cancellation email. My workplace is open on Thanksgiving ahahah, but at least we close early at 4 PM.

And Walmart is SOLD OUT!

EDIT: Though if my cancellation goes through, I would think they might reopen orders again for it?

@J-Manix98
It can take a while. Took me 5-10 minutes before I got my confirmation from Best Buy that they got my order.
For me, I'm just waiting on my cancellation confirmation from Walmart.....

@J-Manix98
Thanks!
And nope, I refused to be defeated that easily!

Well anyway, I guess it'll finally be time for me to sell my Sea Green 2DS. It seems this color is "rare" or something, considering the insane prices it can go for on eBay. Though I wonder if anyone buys them for those prices....

If anyone still wants White, Best Buy still has it!
Both Best Buy and Walmart still have the black units. I guess not many people are still awake

@J-Manix98
YAY THANK YOU, I GOT IT!
And now to cancel my Walmart order....hopefully it's not too late.......though if it is too late to cancel I think I might have a friend willing to buy a black unit off me.

DId not expect Walmart to have it available online. So glad they did. Unfortunately it looks like I missed white once again
Anyway, not wanting to miss out on this deal yet again, so I ordered the black one anyway.

@WillTheLion
Yeah, they pretty much blew all their stock on the preorder :/

@soma
Same here. It's weird that they would put it to be released at that time, yet have the preorders open early, especially on a product that was guaranteed to sell out quickly. Really hoping they still have some. I'll even get a black one if that's what it takes.

Please tell me they're holding some off to sell on the "release date".

Ugh missed out on preordering the black one since I was hoping the white one would go back in stock. Come on Nintendo, just do a real price drop instead of flaunting the fact that you can still sell ancient hardware for mega high prices.

@CrazedCavalier

@CrazedCavalier
Well, I didn't go in blind either.......sort of. I kept my hopes up as much as possible that I wouldn't be disappointed, but ahahahaha......

YAY! Now i don't have to camp!
But, is the white one sold out? I COULD get black, but I wanted to get white so it'll be easy to differentiate between my JP and NA models.

@CrazedCavalier
Oh yes! Can't wait to see CinemaSin's vudeo on this. Though I do have to wonder if the CinemaSins guy likes MH or not.

@CrazedCavalier
Glad to hear you enjoyed something about it then.
Both Fates' story AND gameplay has, in the end, stopped me from gleaming ANY enjoyment and fun from the game(s) so I'm unable to complete them. It's truly a struggle, however I spent close to $100 on this so I need to finish it eventually, no matter how agonizing.
At least with Awakening, the Avatar gimmick was still pretty fresh. By the time Fates came out it became to stale and the manakete lord idea, which should've been cool, couldn't save it for me either :/

@CrazedCavalier
Be to be honest, none of the FE games really have a totally strong and solid story (though I still haven't gotten around to playing 5, so I don't know about that), but it's clear some are definitely better than others or at least feel like they are. And for me, Awakening and Fates are rock bottom.

@Mogster
I still can't bring myself to finish it. Started Pokemon anyway!

Fates should be replaced by Stella Glow. Otherwise a good list.

Reading closely through his concept....I REALLY DO NOT WANT HIM DEFILING MONSTER HUNTER.
He obviously DOES NOT understand anything about Monster Hunter. Monsters in the MH series are NOT all-powerful mythical beings that only a "chosen" hero can slay, they are ANIMALS.
Aside from maybe the Elder Dragons, which are said to be NATURAL DISASTERS GIVEN A LIVING FORM.
Please Capcom Japan, revoke this man's privileges for crappifying your game series through film.

I would be fine with a movie, but only from a non-awful director. Why can't we get Legendary to make the Monster Hunter movie?
So far this is sounding like it'll just be a Michael Bay style sludgefest....

Nintendo and their Nintendoness strikes again.

Boot times are not much of an issue, however in game loading times can be annoying.

Wow, do many ports.

Any idea if the New 3DSes will be available anywhere BESIDES Best Buy? Like Amazon for example? I don't want to camp.

Wait, what does a 4k TV have to do with Nintendo?

What, no one wants to go to tthe future to check?

There's really nothing stopping them from making an SNES Mini. From what we supposedly know of the specs, they could just take the same boards they used for the NES Mini and shove them into a new casing shaped like an SNES/SFC.
Well actually they'd likely have to make new boards to move the controller ports so they would fit well with an SNES shaped board, but they could still just use all the exact same components they used with the NES Mini and it'll still emulate SNES games full speed.

Swapnote revival? Nikki (or whatever her name was) finally has a new home!

Why? It's simple. Same reason why they didn't port to Wii U and why barely anyone supported Wii U:
Their publishers don't want to risk wasting more time and money allowing the development a version on a weaker platform that isn't selling well or that they think may not have the potential to sell well. Especially if the platform is TOO weak (I don't think this affects the Switch nearly as much as it affected the Wii U at least) or whose system architecture requires an entirely separate development pipeline (again, doesn't affect Switch QUITE as much as Wii U, as now they're sharing system architecture commonly used in smart devices....though the state of console game ports to ARM is still pretty much in its infancy; fortunately Android, NVIDIA, and the PS Vita have all already started paving the way for Nintendo to entice more devs to port modern games to modern ARM architecture).
