Star Wars....
lightsaber battles......

Simple I know but come on!!!

I honestly feel Nintendo have missed a trick by not pre installing this on every Switch.
That way, people, wherever they were, whoever they were with would be able to show the uniqueness of the JoyCons and the appeal of the Switch, essentially causing CONSTANT ADVERTISING

Makes sense what with the FE Heroes announcement. Gives us a time frame to estimate a release based on the difference in time passed between iPhone and android versions of Run

Having pumped hundreds of hours into Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U, I purchased Legends at launch, mainly for that compass clock. Maybe put 5 hours into that version, although it played absolutely fine on my New 3DS. Lent it to a mate who only has a standard 3DS, he returned it the next day saying it was barely playable.
I think that is why it's a New 3DS exclusive.
Also, think we will see this model more and more now. Encourage people to either buy a New 3DS or a Switch

@JohnG it's all lemons and limes really

@JohnG I for one consider brexit offensive

Heartedly agree with all the points raised in the article. Whilst I haven't played it myself, I feel as though, from everything I've seen, that this should be pre installed in the console. What would the cost be for Nintendo honestly?

Just wow

@darthstuey fair point. But they're obviously listening to someone. Miiverse gone. Paid online. HD motion controls 😜

£79.99 for BoTw collectors edition is a good price but at least at Nintendo UK store you get a cool t-shirt. And there's the chance it will be delivered a day early 😀

@meherenow not sure it will happen this time but literally everything I've ever pre ordered from the official UK store has arrived a day early. Amiibo, games, my New 3DS ambassador edition. Literally everything.

If I was a big cheese at Nintendo, I would have studied the reaction to the reveal very carefully over the weekend and, although price is set in stone now, I would have come out this morning with solid detail on online pricing and benefits, any kind of planned VC news, and more launch titles.
That's what people want to hear. I know Reggie has given his usual PR speech about how more details will be revealed in time, but I honestly think actions are needed if they want Switch to be the success it needs to be.
But then what do I know about running an international multi billion dollar company, I only manage a chain of 8 pubs in little old Blighty 😜

Hopefully Amazon waiting until 7 will give them enough time to catch up with bundle options and offer the colours! Otherwise I'll probably just wait for the official store to offer pre orders

This and ARMS as pack ins i'm absolutely fine with.

@DESS-M-8 let's just celebrate our shared love of Nintendo and the fact that we will be playing BoTw in 7 WEEKS and leave our clear political differences to one side ✌️

@DESS-M-8
Everything wrong in the world is to be blamed on Brexit. Dam facists!!

Classic Brexit!

I remember when the £ was strong and this would have retailed for around £230!! God i feel old.....

I hope Nintendo UK store will open up pre orders directly after the event. If not will put in an order through amazon and through the affiliate link. An ambassador like program would be awesome. Not so as to get the console earlier, just to get a pre order guaranteed.

I finally got round to checking out what all the fuss was about over Xmas, tried out Oculus rift at a relatives. Honestly, it was a LOT of fun but when he told me how much he'd spent optimising his rig, my jaw dropped. Incredible amounts of money. At that will always deter me. If Nintendo can find an affordable way to deliver that much fun, I'm all for it.
As my misses said at the time when hinted about getting PSVR, 'you can either have that or a Switch in March'
No debate.
So excited for 4AM

Meh

Want all

I really didn't want to buy this game, as I already own the Wii U version but I must have that amiibo.
The misses is going to kill me....

@olrodlegacy
Was literally so excited when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.
But it was just a notification from NintendoLife...
Sometimes I think that Nintendo hates us....

I'm absolutely gutted I didn't get an email. Whilst I'm aware that it's completely random, I feel with, the amount of money I spend on Nintendo products, I was due a little bit of karma come my way!!
Also even more frustrating as will be staying in London on Friday to attend the ballet for my girlfriends birthday anyway!!
Oh well, guess I will have to wait until March along with everybody else.

I think it has to be a launch title if they want to really shift many millions of units as soon as possible. Saying that, who knows what they will announce next Thursday! A Mario game would certainly also be a system seller!
Either way, I think they will certainly cancel the Wii U version.
The Wii U is dead, long live the Switch!

Owned every Nintendo console Day 1, aside from the NES as I wasn't born then. I see no reason why this will be any different! If the rumoured date of the 17th is to be believed that would be ideal as it's my 30th on the 18th and already have a week booked off of work!
I guess we'll find out in 12 days.....

I evolved an xmas pikachu earlier, I now have an xmas Raichu!!!
I don't want these new Pokemon. All I need is an Aerodactyl from a 10K! Last 2 10K eggs I hatched I've got a Magby and an Elekid!!!
Did catch a CP 2217 Lapras in my house in the middle of nowhere earlier! That was excite

1494.3 KM walked
4553 Pokémon caught!!
Just need an Aerodactyl and I'm done with the 1st wave (minus legendaries and regionals)
Just got an Elekid out of a 10K egg though, and for some reason instantly transferred it....
No idea why....

Its part of the challenge people. You have to solve the puzzle before being able to enter! Classic Nintendo

Just got an email now! Fingers crossed

Couldn't agree more with this article!
I often argue the merits of the Wii U, the library of stellar games, asymmetric gaming etc, to sniggers and muted laughter!
But the sad truth is, from the outset, the console was a failure.
The Wii U is dead, long live the Switch!!

Well the 13th will be a busy day for me! Have a midwife appointment in the morning, tickets to the Russian ballet, performing Black swan, in the evening and now I've got to be up at 4AM to watch this.....

I'm genuinely happy about this! Since backing this project I have acquired a PS4 so was already thinking about getting it on that anyway! Depending on how far off the switch release will be, it would be awesome to be able to play this anywhere anytime.

The Wii U is dead, long live the Switch

I'm glad they're doing it like this, just need an Aerodactyl from a 10k egg, 4 ma hops for a machamp(obviously will get it eventually with buddy system) the regional Pokémon and legendarys so maybe I can complete gen 1 before all the new critters are running wild

I honestly don't expect to have to pay for VC games I already own! I want the transition this time to fully utilise account systems and let me download my entire VC library from Wii U and 3DS, free of charge, day 1.

Well, it's nice to have dreams right?!

@Alundra-1998 I know right! Should have had the console and the man bag delivered by now! Sucks as it is a birthday present for my brother in law who I'm seeing tonight!
'Happy birthday, here's a controller'...

Pre ordered mine from the official U.K. Nintendo store as soon as I got the email saying they were available to pre order, also ordered an extra controller! The controller arrived yesterday, the console hasn't as if yet arrived. Tracking info says estimated delivery 15-18th November!!! Wtf Nintendo

I've loved my Wii U like a child. Pre ordered, collected at launch (God, the queues....) have purchased every AAA game and played them all to completion, have dabbled with indies to some extent and really enjoyed my experiences.
I've also been the 1st person to sing the praises of the console, 3 friends of mine have purchased Wii U's a result of my insesent glorifying of that little fisher price tablet!
Along with my 3DS, I've loved being able to play all the Zelda games on one generation, and I've just played 12 races of Mario Kart 8 with the misses.
However, with all due respect, I now say RIP my friend, it's been a great 4 years.
Yooka Laylee will be a glorious swan song

But I've only got 136 of the 1st generation! IM NOT READY FOR THIS!!!!

I'd love it to be the 17th March! Have asked my family to chip in and get it for my 30th, which is on the 18th, so that would be absolutely splendid! Also, I have a week booked off from work from the 17th.....

Got the season pass so will check it out

Only need 44 more candy to get an Ivysaur! Glad to know I'll be able to make a dent in that! Been stuck non 137 for soooooo long now

I think for games like Zelda and Xenoblade, the 2nd screen was an incredibly useful feature. Not just for maps but in the case of Zelda, switching items on the fly made for extremely seamless gameplay.
I know my misses is really upset about the loss of a 2nd screen as when we play MK8 or Mario 3D World, she will play solely on the game pad as she's of the tablet generation and hasn't really gamed before the Wii U so likes having the screen 12 inches from her face.

Regarding battery life, as long as I can connect it to an external battery I'm not really too fussed! Pokémon Go kills my iPhone in 2 hours so it not as if it's a new phenomena!

I think this will all be much more relevant in the NX era!
Personally, I own all the Wii U and 3ds 1st party games that I will want, aside from Pokémon Sun and any surprises that may be forthcoming.
My birthday is in March, Breath of the Wild might be released in March.....
Yeah

This is the 3rd article with links to buy products that I have read immediately after purchasing the said product! I genuinely feel bad that you guys aren't getting and commission! !

Knew I recognised him from somewhere but just couldn't work it out!
Watching stranger things made me want to a) Finish playing Life is Strange and b) Rewatch Fringe

Will it back date all my current Pokemon? Or will I have to start from scratch? I'm at 136 on my Pokedex and only really use the app for hatching 10K eggs and getting bulbasaur candies through the buddy system

I pre ordered 11 new amiibo recently and still haven't completed my smash collection

Brilliant! I cancelled my pre order when I discovered that it wouldn't track distance covered! I definitely would have kept it had I known, I essentially believed it to be a glorified pidgey catcher
