I might be sick tomorrow and feel I may also be sick on Switchpatricks day.
The Switch will bring it down, even without FFVI announcement.

nethack is my favorite dark souls clone
Anybody know if you can use store credit to pre-order the console in-store at GameStop? I'm planning on lining up outside my local shop tomorrow morning.
my gamestop is def opening at their normal time (10AM), I did say I heard some stores are opening a little earlier and they said it's possible their opening time could change if they get late word, but so far it's the normal time.
I really don't want to pre-order from gamestop... but I will head down there if I can't find a better source before around 7AM
Also asked what the interest has been like... they claim interest has been somewhat on the low side, just a few people here and there over the last week.

Is that Bomberman option a real rumor?
Conference. Can be viewed on YouTube, Nintendo website, and Twitch.
Not at first. I imagine we might get some variations down the road as well as special edition versions.
Going to gamestop, if you don't mind lining up early, is a really safe bet to grab a system. You can always show up, judge the line, and go from there.

.... Nintendo needs you on their marketing team.
You should be able to use it just like any other payment type.
Same, mine said normal time, 10am.
Not announced yet.

I'll call mine again later tonight but he kept saying 9am.
Don't toy with my hewrt!!
Anyone else excited to see the OS?
I'm that rare guy who loves Nintendo's OSes, from the Wii to the 3DS to the Wii U. The only problem with the Wii U's was its speed and the fact that settings were silo'd off into their own 'app' kind of deal. Other than that I loved it. The Miiverse-enabled home screen was just comfy Nintendo genius. You felt good every time you booted the system up and saw all these happy avatars rushing to the game of their choice.
Really looking forward to seeing what they put together this time.

I wish Nintendo would follow Sony's strategy when announcing pre-orders and announce a certain date and time for pre-orders would start. Sony did it for the PSVR.
You're correct. It's really just "business as usual" for Gamestop. Marketing, profits, etc. Some weird stuff was going on right around the PS4/XB1 launch, where you had an excess of marketing towards the XB1, Gamestop TV wouldn't shut up about it, "from-the-top" orders not to compare the two consoles, all that fun stuff. I suppose it makes a bit of sense - remember Nancy Tellem from E3 2013?
She is the onetime entertainment and digital media president of Microsoft and an ex-president of CBS, which again, owns Gamestop TV. I'm sure there were more than a few handshakes.
Meanwhile, Nintendo is at the back of a lot of the higher-ups' minds. I went to quite a few regional meetings that really shocked me at times (maybe it shouldn't have).
I'd imagine this is a call by either the store manager or district manager based on popularity at the store(s).

Honestly, this might be one of my more hype parts of the presentation. I love Nintendo OS design, slowness notwithstanding.

Blast. Can't get off work Friday, so going to Gamestop in the morning isn't gonna happen. I may end up just trying Amazon/Best Buy online tonight.

We have no idea what it's like outside a vague description, that's why lol.
If it gets shown off and it looks really good, then more people will probably be interested in it.
