If they keep doing what they're doing now, along with what else they have/yet to announce for the year, then I can easily see them making and possibly exceeding this target.
I half expected this but after the length of time that we've all waited, the pricing should have been adjusted accordingly to something more reasonable.
Me though, I've already paid for it - I'm a backer.
One of my favourite consoles ever. Those sprite visuals and that sound it pumped out. Unmistakable and an amazing piece of hardware that I still treasure to this day.
I'm getting increasingly frustrated and annoyed at the lack of info about the Switch release of WMD. Yes we know you've said its coming and yes, its been playable at pretty much every expo Switch has been to but for the love of God people, WHEN WILL YOU RELEASE IT??
Still waiting on those Switch rewards six months later. With what's been added and what I have to use or lose this month, I'll currently be losing a little over 1,100 coins.
Its just not on. Bring back Club Nintendo - it should never have been shut down.
Then make more of them to stop the scalpers. Bloody hell it's not rocket science.
Yes other retro consoles might not have done as well but other makers don't really have the pedigree behind them like you do - of course your stuff is going to sell like hotcakes. Have you learned nothing from the continual amiibo debacle and last year's NED Classic issues?
I love you guys I really do but there's an increasing amount of times I'm wondering what on Earth you're doing. What muppets do you have that think it's a good idea to make 20 pieces of something and think that it will do?
Its just beautiful. I was very jealous of the Japanese when it launched there in what feels like an eternity ago and pretty much gave up hope that it'd appear over here.
So once the Americans are allowed to pre-order in their own country does that mean they'll cancel the orders they've made over here to allow us UK folk to buy from our UK shops?
Ahhh Game, always everybody else's fault except your own.
I do see your point about supply and demand for Switch, valid but its not only in this country, but 99% of your problems are your own. Vastly overpriced and arrogant staff. You nearly went bankrupt a few years ago because of all of this but have learned? Of course not. This time I don't think you'll be as lucky.
And also, why don't you push Nintendo anymore? Having masses of space allocated to PS and XB with a tiny section for Nintendo when both 3DS and Switch are still in their prime and selling like hot cakes respectively is like commiting retail suicide.
I really wish they'd give proper rewards like the old Club Nintendo program used to give. Redeeming coins for discounts on games that have been out for so long which the world and his wife will probably have is a giant let down.
The new rewards program could have and should been so much more. I miss the old days
I love this game and still holds its own against, and betters, many more 'modern' games made today. And that's doubly impressive when you think it was a WiiU launch title. I'll definitely be picking this up but I do hope TT have done something about those awful load times which hark back to the ZX Spectrum days.
Nope. I'm cutting my WiiU spending right back since Switch is pretty much around the corner. Not that there's anything worth buying on WiiU now anyway.
There maybe new offers but they're still utter rubbish. Discounting stuff WiiU and 3DS users already own and that have been out ages, (Mario 3D Land, Super Mrio World etc) is utterly pointless.
Well if they'd put some decent stuff in their catalogue that I don't already have or make those offer A LOT more earlier then I'd gladly use them. As it is, their catalogue is very poor.
I'd like to see a return of soundtrack and statues etc. that the old Club Nintendo had to offer - my points would be spent straight away then!
I'd really like them to so something about the file size of the app, at present its consuming a whopping 994MB of my iPhone's memory and with the incoming update I shudder to think just how much more memory I'll lose. Can't they make it a bit more memory friendly?
Its not like we're really missing much without EA, I mean all the really do is churn out yearly updates of Fifa, Madden etc and close down or destroy amazingly talented studios - Criterion, Bullfrog etc.
The day they fully support a Nintendo machine again is the day I'll eat my hat.
That looks like a tremendous pack! If I played Minecraft I'd have it in a heat beat. As it happens, I've never owned a copy of it nor played it before.
There's no way I'm paying £13 (or £10 for that matter) for a 6 year old game even if Super Meat Boy is new to Nintendo systems. That's an utter disgrace. I did think about giving it a look but only as long as the price was right, as it happens the price is very, very wrong.

Please be true and bring Bayonetta to Switch! Bayonetta 3 would be amazing (but so would a 1-3 collection too )
Re: You Still Can't Pre-Order The Super NES Classic In The US, And This Could Be Why

It should be but y'know, scalpers...
Re: Guns, Gore & Cannoli is Bringing Its Brand of Mayhem to Nintendo Switch
I own this on Xbox One and it is a fun game to play. Could be one worth buying for Switch too but that will depend heavily on its asking price.
