If the leaks are all correct, and I have no reason to doubt them at this stage, the only logical reason to not announce it by now is because they anticipate a lot of double dipping...which is quite likely.

Double dipping from PS4/XBox One to Switch (and PC too) is more likely than between PS4 and XBox One.

I've got to say...I kinda like the amount we get with amiibo at the moment. I know that might be unpopular, but I like that I can NOT use my amiibo and eventually get the sage things, for the most part. Personally, I've only got 2 amiibo at present. One is a Peach so I could get past a few difficult bits of Super Mario Odyssey I kind of couldn't be bothered working through, frankly. Yeah, little things like that...awesome. I might collect them at some point. I've resisted pretty much so far, but can understand doing that for just the figures themselves.

I bought Captain Toad for Switch, which I said I'd not do because I already have almost exactly the same game on the Wii U, but here we are. I've played nothing but that today.

@TTgowings Are you saying that...incase one of us didn't know what a d-pad was, or what?

Pro controller is my main controller. I don't really play much handheld, though I'm really not fussed about the lack of d-pad. I thought I would be, but I'm just not.

Could it improve? Yes. Absolutely. And I hope it does. Do I regret spending such a small amount of money for what we have right now? No. No regrets.

@BigMac1204 That would be quite the mistake on their part at this stage.

Probably unauthorised given China's track record. Nintendo probably won't do anything though because copyright infringement is basically sanctioned by the Chinese government.

Funnily enough, it's something I noticed when buying the PowerA controller the other day. That and the very official looking packaging. If I didn't know any better, I'd think that product was made by Nintendo.

I do know better. The PowerA is a great controller. Definitely worth the £15 I paid. But the seal and packaging might phycologically make some people more inclined to buy it than they otherwise might have. That's okay for this controller. In my opinion, it would be worthy of the seal. Are other products which carry it, though?

A photo caption also mentions the fact that the seal is now on the back. A change which is probably why I noticed it so prominent on the controller box. I feel this was a good move. I do think, for those of us in the know, the seal doesn't carry as much weight...but it's still nice for it to be there. Assuming it's genuine, it's a product Nintendo has allowed be on their system. It's then down to players to decide and research what is "good" for them. I think on the whole, gamers are better than they perhaps once were to discern that. If one needs to, one has the ability to read a review of a certain game from a publication such as yourself when shopping. That just wasn't possible when they needed to rely much heavier on the discernment from employees of Nintendo to put their seal on it.

Has the seal changed? Yes. Do I look for it when buying a product? No. But it does feel reassuring to know it's there!

How nice if we could combine those two top hitters?

I live and hope...

@Verg Love this gif. Thank you. Hahaha.

@Spoony_Tech If they are on track, we may well get news soon(ish), though that doesn't mean this rumour is true.

@Borngis Did you mean 100 million?

@ZheDoctor I would buy that.

Yup. Buying this for the 5th time now. No regrets. I'm not even mad.

I really really want this to happen!

@Markiemania95 Very true. Been my YouTube username for a long time. MAN is my initials.

Great minds think alike!

I don't see why it wouldn't be real, to be honest.

As far as the retailer themselves, I was in France recently and was in a Carrefour, and they have the biggest Switch collection I've ever seen, so it wouldn't surprise me that they'd sell such a thing at launch.
