I do not need to buy a Switch but I was looking to see you could get the Mario Kart 8 bundles with the new improved battery live and noticed that they all model (apart from the lite) are sold out. Wow Nintendo had a good sales at Christmas, I'm hoping they say what their biggest selling game were though.

Well, I live in the U.K and I own a PS4 and a Switch. I buy more games for Switch than PS4.

Does it work? and how did it get into the wild as it were?

Getting the SNES controllers was great, sadly badly handled by Nintendo (limited stock problems as usual)

I'd like Nintendo to really look after the online service next year and treat us to games more often, maybe DS could join it next year would be cool.

Will they be able to change their region settings?

There wasn't an option for New Super Mario deluxe for Switch, I am or was tempted to give that a go. I have wii-motes coming out of my ears but that didn't stop me from ordering a Bowser wii-mote from Nintendo UK store as I really wanted to play Super Paper Mario this weekend, however the controller hasn't arrived. So I can't.

@datamonkey make it the same but with numbers, did you get a Switch with the code?

@jockmahon Did you really buy that many? if you have bought 100 units with the discount code you would technically get a Switch for free. I was sad enough to work this out, lol.

It's a great offer, better than the deals round Black Friday were.

I love the comments, so funny.

Amazon UK on Wednesday did a deal if you bought a Switch or a Switch lite you could spread the cost the payments over a period of 5 months. So that's what I did.... Thanks Amazon.

Hopefully we will get some new titles before Christmas.

I'm hoping for:
Mario RPG
Mario All Stars
SimCity (wishful thinking I know, I think E.A own the Sim city rights nowadays)

@River3636 Here in the U.K we do not celebrate Thanksgiving, according to a Wikipedia post we are a country that can participate in it but choose not to. I don't know why, however for the last 6/7 years stores and online ones do Black Friday discounts. I'm not saying that Christmas isn't big in the U.S but in the U.K it is it's a big deal Christmas for us Brit's, on the 26th December is Boxing Day (my apologies if you guys call the 26th December Boxing Day too) Our Boxing Day are big events for stores and they open early like I've heard stores open at 4am in the U.S for Black Friday. I hope this makes sense and I hope you've enjoyed Thanksgiving.

I didn't see the option for Zelda until I voted for nothing!

I might give that a go at some point, also I am keen to use the SNES controller I received in the week for SNES online!

Oh dear not in stock until 2020 according to the U.K site. Not good Nintendo, not good.

I'm still waiting for Base.com to get more stock! and for them to send me this. Come on Nintendo send them a few hundred because the game is obviously selling....

I went on holiday to Berlin, going there I had two worries.

1. I was hoping my pets would be all right even though people were going in to check up on them every day.
2. I knew the snes pads would become available whilst being in Berlin.

Well the pets were fine and what happened whilst being on a bus out there? The controllers became available. That night I tried the Nintendo site and it was working, I managed to order two, I wanted to get three but I didn't know how my finances were looking like, I was so happy but I guess I won't be totally happy until they get delivered to me. When I got the Nes controller they were delivered by DHL and I had to sign for it, So I am hoping to be in when they arrive. I will use one and one to keep, maybe say in months time when the controllers are available again I might get a couple more. Not to re sell though.

I personally think the Switch lite is too expensive, it will do better during the lead up to Christmas. I'd really like a lowdown on how the different colours are selling, if I got one it would be the turquoise one and it needs a little price cut but that won't be yet.

I just wish the console was cheaper!

Also Nintendo Life should have done a poll "if you're buying one what colour are you getting?"

I wanted to play Zelda but my copy hasn't arrived yet and its even on a back stock at where I'm buying it from. A hint it was cheaper than Amazon!

I'm really looking forward to this! the reviews seem to be good for the mini console, so I'm happy.

I hope Nintendo is planning something good for Mario's 35th Birthday next year.

I wonder what the games are like played with the pro controller, there is a dongle you can buy that allows to plug Gamecube and controllers with access to controllers that have support like with the snes controllers from the mini classic into the device and it works well. Youtubers like them when they have reviewed them. I'm looking forward in playing Pilot Wings, Mario World Super Mario Kart.

I can't believe Nintendo are allowing us to order four! when the NES controllers came out it was one per account, I'd like to order probably three. Thank You Nintendo.

@YessMasster I don't live in Poland but I was looking at postage and to send to Poland is £17! what a shame. I'd say still get one or two though.

@Antraxx777 hopefully Super Mario All stars will appear soon (I dunno when)

I'm happy! Nintendo I will renew my subscription, I'm so hoping Super Mario All stars turns up at some point. I love that game.

Does anyone know when the service will go live?

Also someone (@Julien Thank you) put a link up for the SNES controllers, so I had a look, you can buy up to four controllers per account. Blimey, I'd like two or three please if I can, once they go live....

I can't wait to play Pilot Wings again.

I can't wait for this! it'll back some good memories.

@Yoshinator here, here!

@Marios-love-child Oh no, you could plead and beg?

I bought a Wii at launch and wanted to download some VC titles but it would not connect to the internet, didn't matter what I did no connection whats so ever. I googled an error code that I received and it meant the Wii was faulty. Took the Wii back and waited a week to get another one! it was in 2006.

@Crono1973 thats annoying but thank q for answering my question

So if you own an older Switch and have downloaded games, data etc are able to transfer the games, data to a new Switch? would it be via Switch online service or account? I'm tempted to trade but I'm not sure.... I would have definitely done this for a Switch lite if it could be docked (which I know can't be )

Thanks to anyone who answers this question.

I reckon if we get a direct soon this could get announced then, I also think a September launch though as most peoples subscriptions will be up for renewal by then including mine. So let's hope this happens. N64 mini classic for Christmas anyone?

I've pre-ordered the other week. Tempted to order another set though.

@sanderev I dunno if this is allowed but you might find this interesting.

@TempOr how will you get away with it? surely they will check the contents?

I wonder if it'll make the current (launch) model ones cheaper to buy now? it makes sense now to do Nintendo Switch with e-shop vouchers now, to sell off old stock.

I edited my comments

@backinthegame just in case you missed it,

release date for G B https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/08/ghostbusters_the_video_game_remastered_secures_a_spooky_october_release_on_switch

I thought at first Nintendo had announced its comeback!

Nah just wait for Nintendo to make N64 mini's, could still happen unless N64 games turn up on the Switch e-shop.

@backinthegame Thank You I've pre-ordered it, December 31st release!

A D pad would be great.

Do Gamestop ship to the UK? I wonder....

They have them in Ireland.

I'm stuck in job 2!

It's a good deal but I won't buy it.

Sold out on Amazon now, I'm pleased that I have pre-ordered the Amiibo.

It's sold out everywhere! I've pre-ordered the game with Amazon but I think £50.00 is a little steep. Still might get a small refund, they do this sometimes. Oh and I've pre-ordered the Amiibo, I'm just waiting to see if they'll do a guide book too! (I know Prima won't but Piggyback might...)

Make it happen please Nintendo

I got this book for my birthday and it's very good. I'm glad it got reviewed.

@Godzil That would be a good option.

I bought one when they came out, now they are sold out and going for silly prices. I think Nintendo could do with making a few more!

It's a great list so far! I just hope this mini console plays well. I know it's wish full thinking but I would love for Desert Strike to appear on this console.
