It's going to be hard for Nintendo to argue with one of the biggest outlets which sells its products. A bit of a catch 22 to say the least.
Here in the UK this rarely happens.
The only time it happened to me was when I knew the guy at the local game shop. Literally would get everything two weeks early. Remember having Halo 2 a few weeks before it came out.
As it happens he had to close down, as the majority of people don't want to to support local shops.
They were happy going to Game, where you get ripped off every purchase.
I've got to admit, I'm absolutely loving this. I missed out on it the first time around for a ridiculous reason, in Europe it had pretty much the same cover as Link To The Past. I wasn't particularly old and just assumed it was the same game. Obviously in years to come I realised I was wrong.
Anyways better late than ever I'm loving this. It's just classic zelda, pick up and play and easy to get into.
Breath Of The Wild is amazing, but it's so time consuming.
When the GameBoy Pocket came out, I got the clear addition, where you could see all the internal components of the handheld. Within one week of having that machine, the plastic cover of the screen fell out. It had not been dropped or anything, it literally just dropped out for no reason. I ended up super glueing in back in. In hindsight I should of returned it. It wasn't a major issue though with the machine.
Another issue I had was when the original DS came out. The first machine I had dead pixels on the touch screen. I took it back for a replacement, and the second one had dead pixels on the top screen. It went back for a second time, and the third DS was fine.
Off topic of Nintendo, I had 4 xbox 360s brick, a PlayStation 2 which was bought with a kink in the shell, and a PlayStation 3 which bricked.

Re: What Year Is It? Nintendo's Wii U Is Getting A New Game Today
@Siddif I should really fire mine up again and play Breath Of The Wild
Re: What Year Is It? Nintendo's Wii U Is Getting A New Game Today
@sanderev personally I love Switch. Wii U just had a lot more to give.
Re: What Year Is It? Nintendo's Wii U Is Getting A New Game Today
If Nintendo hadn't fumbled Wii U's marketing, we would probabaly still be playing it now.
Re: Blizzard Cancels Overwatch Switch Launch Event, Leaves Nintendo To Apologise On Its Behalf
Maybe Overwatch on the Switch is substandard, and blizzard are bailing as they don't want to face the heat.

Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Games Of 2019 (So Far)
Cuphead is overrated.
Was very excited for that, and other than the visuals it's a one trick pony.
The sequel will hopefully improve other aspects of the game this time.
Re: Metro Redux Listed For Nintendo Switch By Portuguese Retailer
Couldn't get into these games, felt old even when they came out.
Still a lot of people dig them, so all the better for Switch owners
Re: DOOM Eternal Has Been Delayed, And The Switch Version Is The Most Heavily Affected
A classy move by ID, at least they have been open and transparent.
Nice they have put in some bonuses for people having to wait.
Re: Fortnite "Ruined Our Child's Life", Claims Family At The Centre Of New Class-Action Lawsuit
Bad parenting.
Simple solution, unplug the computers or consoles.
People need to get a grip.
Re: Nintendo's 'Live 2019' Gaming Expo Could Be Cancelled Due To Typhoon Safety Concerns
Yeah that's fair enough, can't have people risking their lives for video games.

Re: Video: This Stunning Trailer Turns The Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Sequel Into A N64 Game
@Dman10 it's just nostalgia man, if you grew up through that era it brings back happy memories.
Re: Video: This Stunning Trailer Turns The Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Sequel Into A N64 Game
In an alternete timeline, Nintendo never stopped making Nintendo 64.
They just thought, this is as good as its going to get.
23 years going strong...
Certainly an interesting thought.
Makes you wonder what would of happened?
Hypothetical of course.

Re: Cripes, That SNES PlayStation Prototype Might Be Up For Auction Soon
Personally I hope it's bought, and put in a museum.

Re: Review: Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast - Amazing Lightsaber Combat Ruined By A Terrible First Act
@Danksparce dead as a dodo unfortunately.
People would rather sit with a headset and talk to a screen.
Re: Review: Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast - Amazing Lightsaber Combat Ruined By A Terrible First Act
Multiplayer was the best part of this.
Re: Uh-Oh, We've Got Our First Reported Case Of Drift On The Switch Lite
Can't rule out someone has went out their way to deliberately do this.
I'm waiting to see what happens.
Too early at the present.

Re: You'll Need To Pre-Order Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair To Get Its N64 Tonic Mod At Launch
That tonic was a waste of time anyways.
Good game, but it was a pointless bonus.
Re: SNK's New Neo Geo Might Not Be What You Were Expecting
Talk about a let down.
Re: Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure Scuttles Onto Switch This October
A lot better than what I expected.
Certainly has some charm to it.
Re: Microsoft Has "No Plans" To Bring More First-Party Exclusives To Other Consoles
@BlueOcean I understand the reasoning why they didn't, but I honestly think Microsoft thought Nintendo would throw them something.
Anything in fact.
Re: Microsoft Has "No Plans" To Bring More First-Party Exclusives To Other Consoles
@Pod Microsoft were clearly looking for a Nintendo IP on xbox.
I'm not saying I agree or disagree with that, but that was clearly the goal.
Re: Microsoft Has "No Plans" To Bring More First-Party Exclusives To Other Consoles
Was only a matter of time.
Nintendo really offered nothing in return, so no surprise Microsoft jacked.

Re: Video: Super Mario Bros. Movie Deleted Scene Surfaces 26 Years After Release
@ReaperExTenebris I think it comes down to clearly the people who made this film, never played the game.
Re: Video: Super Mario Bros. Movie Deleted Scene Surfaces 26 Years After Release
These are the deleted scenes, which should of stayed deleted.
Re: LEGO Jurassic World Roars Onto Nintendo Switch This September
Doubt I will double dip though
Re: LEGO Jurassic World Roars Onto Nintendo Switch This September
I actually loved this on Wii U.
The technical limitations didn't spoil the experience.

Literally just had an online conversation with someone at Nintendo UK Shop, and they said it was coming out on gamecard.
Re: It's Official, The New Game Style In Super Mario Maker 2 Is Based On 3D World
I’m actually sold now, where as I wasn’t before.
Probably means 3D World Switch Edition will be out soon
Re: Mortal Kombat 11 Dev NetherRealm Studios Responds To Toxic Workplace Accusations
Pretty much indicates it happened.
Re: The Original Devil May Cry Hunts Demons On Switch This Summer
One of the few games I finished in one sitting.
I couldn’t put it down when I got it.
Re: Mortal Kombat Studio NetherRealm Accused Of Taking Advantage Of Contracted Workers
This doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.
Terrible if it proves to be the case.
It’s enough to put me off buying it for the UK switch release.

Good times.
Re: Random: Here's What The Game Boy Might Look Like If It Was Designed Today
I would actually love another Game Boy.
Especially if it was that traditional shape.
It was a good place on time.
Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Ditch Physical Media With A 'Switch Lite?'
For the record I’m still against digital.
Purely based on the fact it’s an overpriced controlled racket on Nintendo.
Unfair prices, which don’t make sense.
Physical games are often cheaper than a download.
Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Ditch Physical Media With A 'Switch Lite?'
Is Switch Lite even a thing yet ?
Or just a logical guess of Nintendo’s next move ?
Assuming it happens that is.
My gut feeling is, Microsoft and Nintendo are going to be collaborating on an Xbox format soon.
Same with Xbox content on Switch.
Re: Rumour: Looks Like Xbox Game Pass Might Not Be Coming To Switch After All
Wouldn’t surprise me if Nintendo are now collabarting with Xbox on their one console, or next one.
And they’ll treat switch as the Hyrbid that it is.
