I've got this pre-ordered, Nintendo-store UK and it will come with a small T shirt which I didn't order! Do'h. Limited edition I hope, I wish it was £30.00 though.
I've pre-ordered from Game, I just hope they do it cheaper. Also I think these will sell out, come on Nintendo Store how much are you guys gonna sell them for?
Well if the sound is bad, then no sale for me. I love the idea though, if Sega worked with them during quality control then it won't be a problem. I'll wait for the reviews to come through.
Take this rumour with a pinch of salt, until it is announced by Nintendo. All though most rumours about the Switch turned out to be true. I can just imagine Professor Wright from Simcity on the box, I'd really like Desert Strike to be included but that wont happen.
I like my local Game store, they did a good job of the Switch launch and didn't pressurise when selling up. Seriously they didn't....
I posted the other day about getting a Nes Classic from there, it was funny....
I follow them on twitter and they posted that they had one Nes classic on sale, I got to town and rushed as fast as I could to get there. Thinking Id have no chance of getting the one and only Nes they had, as I got to the store a guy went in and I thought he was after that Nes. He asked the assistant if they had any Switch and they said no, it was my turn and I bought the Nes!
Nintendo stay loyal to Game, if they do people will walk off the streets to ask that question "Do you have any Switch" and they will say "Yes" hopefully... And get much needed Sales.
Also I went past a shop today in the same town, it's a second hand store that sells games, consoles (Not Gnx*) anyways they had a Switch second hand for £330.00!
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Ever been tempted to get a 3rd Nes Classic if you see one in the wild and use it as a spare, just a thought.......
I've been in my local Sainsburys and they have had the Switch there but not Zelda, it was on sale for £45.00! that might be why. One of the cheapest places I've seen it, Bomberman is on sale for £60.00. Are you kidding me?
Here's an interesting tip for those who live in the UK, if you have a twitter account you can follow your local Game store. I do and they tweeted a few weeks ago about they received one Nes Classic about an hour after the tweet it was in a bag and in my hand.
Also for those of you live in New York follow the Nintendo Store again on twitter, I do and they have had Nes classic deliveries most days it seems and Switch too.
I'm double dipping with undercover, looking forward to that one coming out (again) it will be good to play using the pro pad. Mario Kart deluxe will be on my birthday list. April is a good month for Switch...
I'm from the UK too, no one surveyed me. I bought one I felt lucky in a way as I had £30.00 voucher floating around from Christmas, so mine cost £250.00. Consoles have always been expensive, I still think Switch should have come bundled with Switch 1~2.
Nintendo would be crazy if they don't sort out lack of stock issues, I'm confident that they will as they have a big hitting game coming in April. Also I am wondering if they do Mario Kart- Switch bundles or if they will save for another hard hitting title?
I was in my local Sainsburys tonight and they had two Switches in stock.... so if you know where to look, also I might go in HMV and see what they've got in stock. I did buy mine but it was pre-ordered.
An optical drive with the Switch wouldn't have worked, too heavy and not portable enough. Any gamer will know that video games have always been expensive, they are cheap to produce and bring in a big mark up. Only Nintendo and San Disk know the price of these carts, my only complaint is that nowadays they don't come with an instruction manual....
Downloads should be £10- £15 cheaper than physical but they are not on Switch, a strange decision by Nintendo. I think.
I'm pretty happy with Switch, I saw two in the wild the other day but they have since been sold according to the store website. I was in Game the other day and a guy asked for a Switch and was told "No man they're sold out everywhere" I ordered Snipper Clips that came bundled with Joy cons so I'll get to play that later. I messed about a bit playing Zelda and fell down the cliff which gave me an instant 'Game Over' I'm loving Bomberman but that gets frustrating....
I've seen walk through footage of Zelda on youtube and I do agree it looks amazing, I just need some more time off please.
Here in the UK I'd like one, please Nintendo make it happen.
It's gotta be good though...
Strange as it seems I all most bough another Switch the other day, two were just sitting there (at Smyths) and I was tempted to get one for my wife but I had to calmly walk away, it hurt but I really didn't wanna see £344.00 on my credit card statement plus the other stuff I 've bought this month. I would have bought another copy of Zelda BoTW and a carry case..... Sorry Nintendo.
I think Nintendo really need this success with Switch, hopefully they make enough to cope with demand. Sadly knowing Nintendo they could just use it for free publicity like with the NES classic...
It will be interesting if Nintendo in a weeks time supply us / media with sales figures.
I wonder if these companies will offer some form of compensation, especially the Nintendo official UK store. I feel bad for people who have preordered and have not received their stuff. I hope anyone affected will receive their things soon.
If this makes it to the UK for about £30.00- £40 I'll be happy, if they came here (they probably won't knowing Nintendo) I'll definitely would buy one as it would be pretty handy to have one spare.
Guys, Can I ask for some advice. I am a bit of a novice when it comes to Zelda. When text appears on the screen it displays a down arrow, I press 'down' nothing happens. time to consult the G B.

Game are taking preorders for £100.00, I hope they will be cheaper than that.
Re: The Official Standalone Switch Dock Arrives In Europe Next Month
I would like to pre-order this as soon as it goes up, I reckon it will sell out....
Re: Reggie Explains the Reasoning Behind the New 2DS XL
I got a DS XL once and didn't like the size of it, to me it didn't feel comfortable.
Also I'd be tempted if they announce you can play snes VC, then again I might just wait for Switch VC announcement.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the New Nintendo 2DS XL?
If it's the same size of the DS XL I won't buy it.
Re: Feature: 30 Games We Might Get On The SNES Mini Classic Edition

Exciting times lay ahead, let the wait continue.
At least for an announcement from Nintendo.

Re: Nintendo Switch Sales Remain Strong in Japan
Good news!
The Wii-U sold a few units as well.
Re: Rumour: SNES Classic Mini Coming Later This Year

If we get Switch VC in the meantime then I think it's just a rumour.
Re: UK Retailer Exploits NES Classic Demand By Asking More Than Three Times The Retail Price
I saw in my local one a second hand Switch for £300.00!

Re: The Famicom Classic Edition Has Now Also Been Discontinued
@subpopz I heard that supply was good, sadly Playasia were/are selling them for about £100.00.
Prices on ebay have gone up to £200.00 for brand new European Nes Classics, what are Nintendo playing at?
Re: Nintendo Has Discontinued The NES Classic Edition in North America
A silly move by Nintendo, crazy even. So people in Europe expect a similar announcement next week (after the Easter break)
This item now becomes rarer and it's a sad day, people still wanna buy them and now they can't.
Nintendo might bring these games to Switch on a cart! but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Re: Poll: What Wii U Ports Would You Like to Play on Nintendo Switch?
I voted for mine. I really do not know how Super Mario Maker would work on Switch.
Re: Video: Let's See How LEGO City: Undercover on Switch Stacks Up Against the Wii U Original

Re: Nintendo Download: 16th March (Europe)
