Support NeoGAF

[Woffls]

Good to have some clarification on the BST thing. Not sure I'd be able to stay awake until 7am without dangerous coffee intake.

That's all? Nintendo are sooo doomed with such a lack of support. :O

Time for mario party 11

 

[verbatimo]

Damn it's almost 00:30AM

Need to get few hours of sleep.

 

[Lgndryhr]

Are they taking preorders tomorrow at opening or tonight?

Tomorrow instore. Not sure about online.

Just checked my local Walmart, said they were not told anything about preorders yet, UGH

I wouldn't check until tomorrow morning when your layaway opens.

It's the same list as this:

Oh okay. Wasn't sure. Thanks!

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Regarding preorders: I remember when the Wii U came out. At that time I still preordered at Gamestop. That morning, there were exactly TWO people there, me and somebody's mom. I don't think they had many pre-orders at all. Wonder how this is going to turn out.

There's gonna' be a lot more than two people at that GS tomorrow, that's for sure.

The Switch anticipation is several orders of magnitude greater than Wii U.

Top 3 Percentile

 

[sammex]

Yep.

Oh. OK. Sorry, I honestly don't know what any of those abbreviations mean. This was my bad.

Ok now I'm confused too.

Why Amazon why?

Pretty sure the hype surrounding the device is a lot stronger this time around, which is good for Nintendo, but makes my night that much more stressful.

Does Amazon give priority to people who put more money down for it?

 

[B_Bech]

My store (Gamestop) is being allocated 44 units for preorder.

Lower volume stores appear to be getting in the 20ish range.

 

[NateDrake]

Oh okay. Wasn't sure. Thanks!

It does look more impressive in list form, ha.

 

[Spinluck]

I would be a bit disappointed if only those games are playable.

Other than BOTW and Super Mario Odyssey, the rest aren't huge titles as much as I love Splatoon and Mario Kart.
I need something like Metroid to complete it all.

What?

Mario Kart is pretty huge.

 

[Stumpokapow]

From GameStop in NA. This is list of dev's working on Switch titles.

This is the exact list Nintendo posted 6 months ago, and it's not a list of devs working on Switch titles, it's a list of companies with dev kits who are theoretically interested in maybe developing a title at some point and/or engine tech who are working to make some of their tech maybe compatible with the Switch.

This is what retail rep briefing dossiers are: Collections of public information.

Stop posting about your inside sources, holy shit.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Finally home from work and im bout to eat all my "snax" now

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

So basically amazon will have preorders up 2 hours after the presentation starts?

 

[SuperSah]

Yep.

dis gon' be gud

You staying up too?

 

[PadWarrior]

My store (Gamestop) is being allocated 44 units for preorder.

Lower volume stores appear to be getting in the 20ish range.

Did the manager tell you that? When I called earlier they didn't give me a number.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Cannot stay up till 4...but will try and set my alarm in time to enjoy it with everyone

 

[Baleoce]

Yep.

So preorders on Amazon actually open at 6 in the UK? Jeez laweez what is that.

This is from a gamestop employee friend. As I posted earlier, I wasn't sure it matched that list. Didn't intend it to be a leak or anything. Just trying to keep the conversation going is all.

They just started getting the emails in the last half hour.

[jack_package_200]

Maybe this is crazy talk but do you think we will get a Tekken 7 announcement tonight and release date?

I think its a possibility.

 

[Father_Brain]

From GameStop in NA. This is list of dev's working on Switch titles.

This is literally the exact same list they released alongside the reveal trailer in October. No news here.

EDIT: beaten by Stump, of course. Oh well

 

[PadWarrior]

They just started getting the emails in the last half hour.

Ah thanks will call again later tonight.

 

[Tom Nook]

Normally I'll go home and prep food but today is different. I'm going to Ceasar Pizza get myself a deep dish and prepare to be amazed.

Spoiler

I hope...

 

[Bronetta]

STAY WOKE PEOPLE

 

[KAL2006]

I decided I will wake up at 5.50AM. preorder Switch if I can on 6AM just in time for when preorders are up.

Then from 6AM to 7.30AM I will catch up with the Switch event. Then after I will get ready for work.

 

[VCL]

link to watch the stream?

 

[Milly Osworth]

Good night and see you at Switchmas 😴

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

There's gonna' be a lot more than two people at that GS tomorrow, that's for sure.

The Switch anticipation is several orders of magnitude greater than Wii U.

If nothing else, speculative purchasing by scalpers will drive this far beyond Wii U levels and lead to shortages.

 

[SmackAttack]

Hey there GAF. I've mostly stuck to reading through Switch threads but if there was ever a time to join in, it has to be now, right? May I join the hype train with you all?

 

[GDGF]

How is everyone passing time till the event?

I'm sat in my living room - it's 10pm here. Playing MonHun Gens which should keep me occupied for a couple of hours then I'm gonna play some NES Classic games to hype up and read GAF. Probably gonna have to drink another can of Monster to keep my energy levels high, but that's all!

Just got home from work. Gonna surf GAF and watch vintage Nintendo commercials.

 

[SuperSah]

If I preorder with GAME right now and use a normal card, it won't charge or hold anything until launch right?

Might do it as a precaution incase Amazon fails me. I prefer Amazon to GAME.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

I actually think scalpers are gonna' have a rough time this go-around. Seems NoA may actually have a decent amount to provide retailers and it's launching in March.

The Switchmas hype is only going to increase as we get closer.

 

[hughesta]

I'm just gonna stay up until amazon pre-orders go up.

Hopefully this won't bite me in the ass.

Heading to the gym now. Workout till about 5:30. Meeting my friend online on Overwatch from 6-9. Last hour reserved for internet hype and then the conference.

 

[u_neek]

And with that, GAF, I'm off to bed.

See you on the flipside!

People tried to do that with wiiu too. Scalpers returned them in droves.

 

[RulkezX]

Oh come on. Why write it as BST then?

They better not sell out...

I wouldn't worry about a Nintendo console selling out here mate

Exactly what I'm doing! *Fist bump*

 

[crpav]

Can anyone help convert the time for US Mountain Time to try and pre order?

 

[SuperSah]

Afaik Game dont charge until dispatch.

Awesome. Since they have that weird £999.99 holder, I didn't want it to put a hold on the money for some reason.

I'm just gonna stay up until amazon pre-orders go up.

Hopefully this won't bite me in the ass.

Yup, me too lol. No sleep until at least 7am for me.

 

[Coda]

Same, I'm not sleeping until I pre-order one.

 

[PadWarrior]

Good grief called my Gamestop spoke to someone else said they are opening at 10 not like like the other guy said. Still don't know how many they will get in.

Currently working, then plan on playing Final Fantasy XV until about 9:30 to watch Kinda Funny's stream
