@rjejr Fair point about not being able to purchase separately and I agree 100% with you on that. My point was aimed more at those who said it can be bought for less than 5 quid. They are comparing a single game to the bundle.
Only the other day my son asked me if I remembered the game where you are a goat and you headbutt people. Said he'd love to be able to play it on the Switch. So it was a no brainer purchase for me. Also, can you guys tell me where I can get all 5 games for a fiver? They are 5 quid each on the Google Play Store.
I was lucky enough to get 2 separate pre-orders in. I'll keep one from the Nintendo site for myself and the other is from the Game website will go to my sister for her kids. Well that's if Game fulfil the order as we've all heard the horror stories!
While I'm a little disappointed by this, I'm not entirely surprised. However, I'll still be getting it. Mainly for the co-op. For me it was sorely missed on WiiU because my boys and I enjoy playing Lego games together. So I feel I'll get my moneys worth even if I played the original to death. I do hope they still have the Nintendo references on Switch. They were fun.
My Switch Nintendo UK came this morning. I did manage to get one yesterday from my local Game store who held one by for me. Now have to try send the one back to Nintendo without them charging me.
I gave up waiting for Nintendo to sort it. Game in Craigavon held one by for me so I got it from there. The staff there are brilliant. I should have just pre-ordered with them in the first place. Will send the one from Nintendo back to them at their expense.
Yep, that's what I said to him. I also work for an online company who dispatches hundreds of parcels a day. The dispatch team choose either 24 or 48 depending on what the customer has chosen. I think I may do the same as you and go pick it up in a shop. Game apparently have one held for me. I'll be paying to send it back to Nintendo that's for sure.
Spoke to Nintendo again. Told him about Royal Mail saying it was a 48 hour service. He said that Royal Mail told them different. He said he will speak to his manager and call me back. Probably BS but sure what can I do? It's really put a sour note on what should have been an exciting time.
I got through to Nintendo a while ago and they said it was sent via Royal Mail Tracked 24 and that it will be here today. However, I called Royal Mail who told me it was sent via Tracked 48. I'm on hold with Nintendo again to give them a piece of my mind.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but look at this sentence from the page where you create/edit your User ID...
"Please do not reveal it to other people."
There seems to me that there's no point to the User IDs outside of managing your account or logging into various Nintendo software. Maybe this will change for the subscription service.

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Players Have Figured Out Another Item Duplication Glitch
A word of warning, I tried this with a TV and the tv disappeared completely from the game. I hope it hasn't messed anything else up.

I'm wondering the exact same thing. I purchased a family plan but no email with Splatoon 2 codes.

Re: FIFA 18 on Switch to Include Ultimate Team, EA Boasts of Most 'Advanced' Portable Version
Hmm. They are could be winning me over. Need to see more before I take the plunge. Also they really need to price this fairly.
Re: Video: Can You "Button Mash" Your Way to Victory in ARMS?
For the life of me I just can't seem to get to grips with this game. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I'll keep at it though for sure.

Re: Video: Yep, When You Buy Loads of Games the Nintendo Switch Has An Extra Menu
Already saw this on Giantbomb. I thought others may have seen this before. I'm glad it's not a continuous scroll!
Re: Guide: Protect Your Nintendo Switch On The Move With These Carrying Cases
I got the PowerA messenger bag. It also comes with a smaller case for the switch. The only downside is that there are no game holders.

Hope you are right with what you say. Just got the dispatch confirmation email saying 7th - 8th. My stress levels are through the roof! haha!

I live in Northern Ireland. Somehow I doubt it'll arrive tomorrow but one can only hope!
