@chewytapeworm If you're in Europe, you're fine: there's currently no scheduled end date for the vouchers, with the possibility that they're a permanent feature outside of NA.
@Damo It actually says 'World Championship Tournaments', but that's because there were two events with 'World Championships' in their branding, unlike last year when there was just the one. Notice how the news article on their site (https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/e3-2019-tournaments/) doesn't refer to the event as the 'Nintendo World Championships' once.
Yeah, this isn't proof of it coming to the Switch. As you literally point out in the article, that media-query there is to do with how the website renders when viewed on Switch (why they're doing that in the first place, who knows). The JavaScript file even mentions 3DS which doesn't have a single CoD title.
Could Modern Warfare be coming to the Switch? Possibly, given that this game will have been in development long enough to see how successful Switch sales are to make that decision. But this isn't proof.
@DABYX There's a screw in the middle of the top panel next to the vent which could be putting pressure on those vent 'fins'.
@Damo You technically did assume: a) that those 1000 people actually own a Switch (considering it's easy enough to create an account here to vote and manipulate the poll), and b) that people aren't skewing the poll (people with issues pretending they don't have any, and vice versa). There's also the issue of batch numbers - are all of these chipped units from the same batch, similar batches?
@Equinox This is the big point: Labo is a toy first and foremost, so its sales aren’t front-loaded like a game. It’s the kind of thing that will receive a lot of marketing during Christmas for parents.
@Saego The listing of Nintendo as the developer is the key here; Yoshi, for example, lists Good-Feel as the developer. If Bamco were behind Prime 4, it would have been announced by now, either in the press kit or in an interview.
@Saego The actual page (https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/6i96ti/metroid_prime_4_fact_sheet_from_the_e3_2017_press/). I’ll try to find the full website to prove it’s reliable.
@FredBiletnikoff They’re not developing MP4: Nintendo’s already confirmed it’s an in-house team working on the game. The Bandai Namco rumour came from the same person who ‘leaked’ Soul Caliber VI for Switch.
@Krull Bandai Namco will probably be involved in some capacity like with Nintendo’s other games, but the main development team is in-house as confirmed by Nintendo’s press kit at E3 last year.
@Phin68 "I can look at companies like Microsoft and Sony and see they don't encounter the same stocking problems Nintendo goes through." Right, so Sony lied when they said they were having stock issues with PSVR and the PS4 Pro?
"We have been sold out [of the PSVR] ever since launch and it's only within the last month or so that it's started to come into supply and we're feverishly getting the factory cranked up as fast as we can [...] And as with VR, [PS4 Pro sales] have been restricted by our ability to supply the market." https://www.polygon.com/2017/6/5/15728406/ps4-sales-stats
"Compare the launches of the PS4 to the Wii U, and see which system had the early shortages (it was the Wii U)." Er, the PS4 did have stock shortages.

Re: Feature: It's Been Nearly Five Years, So Where In The World Is Pikmin 4?
@GamingFan4Lyf Sorry about that - it was a joke about how Pikmin has never had a new mainline game on a successful console.
Re: Feature: It's Been Nearly Five Years, So Where In The World Is Pikmin 4?
@GamingFan4Lyf The Wii U sold less than 14m units. As much as I liked it, it was most certainly an underperforming console.
Re: Feature: It's Been Nearly Five Years, So Where In The World Is Pikmin 4?
Theory #9: It's been delayed to release on Nintendo's next underperforming console, just as Pikmin 3 missed the Wii and released on Wii U.
