I don't think the switch will be hard to find on launch day. But then I was wrong about the nes classic, I should have become a full timer flipper...

Haha I think the Wii U had an amaaaaaazing library. Way too many incredible games to give it up.

I can't speak to the other firms, but start is known for its incredible customer service .
It's probably 3ds and/or WiiU trade-in. I hope the OG 3DS XL has some kind of value left.
Starting to look more and more like $250 US is gonna be the base Switch price.
Suppose that's it, what are the chances we see $300 even though the exchange puts it at ~$330? I mean, the N3DSXL is $200 US and it's $239.99 CA even though the exchange rate is more like ~$264. Probably just wishful thinking on my part but 299.99 would be an easier sell to some people than 329.99.

Yea they're gonna have to eat the costs like Sony is doing with the Pro, which should basically retail for $529-49 but they went with $499 because it would sell more at that price.
No idea why they didn't do the same for PS VR to be honest, should've been $499.

No reason, I think it might've been that they couldn't confirm my info? I got an email saying my order has been delayed, and then it was gone.
Yup. They said a specialist will contact me in 1-2 days. We'll see how this goes.

I think $300 is extremely unlikely. It would be cool if it happened but i'd fully set your expectations to $329 or even $350. Get pleasantly surprised if it's $300 but don't expect it.
Pretty much what I was expecting. Hoping for Pokemon Stars this fall 2017

They went with the full 40% exchange rate on the black friday 3DS too.
Frankly with all the current predictions on how our dollar will do in 2017 I'd be thankful at it being just $329.99 and not higher due to factoring in future speculation.

Everyday I change my mind whether I want a switch on launch day or not.
I got to get a switch day one... it's the only way to play the Nintendo games... I just hope it won't hurt my wallet to bad. If it 300+ USD ill cry while I'm doing it.
Shame they don't also release a cheaper non portable version of the console. Unless I'm going on a long trip I don't play my 3DS outside of my house.

You keep...switching your mind?
I will likely have one before 2017 is through but day one I have my doubts. I already have Zelda preordered on the Wii U at a great price on Amazon so having it on the Switch won't matter that much to me.

I'll only be getting the Switch at launch if there is a title that I really want to play, and if the price is around the rumoured $330 mark. Right now, my plan is to pick up a Switch whenever the new 3D Mario is available. That, of course, could change with the upcoming presentation. Donkey Kong, AC, or an interesting new IP would reel me in for Day 1, as well.
Hoping that EB Games will include the N3DS in their Switch trade-in promotion. I only really use mine to play Mario Maker and Pokémon, and both will be available on the Switch at some point anyway.

Your jokes are worse than mine.
Yeah, his humour is pretty stale. Maybe he needs to... switch it up?

The Wii U was not hard to find at launch. Then again it was the Wii U, so... not sure it that's relevant data.

I'm fully expecting Switch to be $349.99. I don't think Nintendo has ever been kind when it comes to exchange rate; if anything they err on the side of charging too much.

Yeah and this spring we have backlog additions of
-Persona 5
-Nier Automata
-Mass Effect 4
-Replay of Persona 5
I'm just worried that they are going to release a different SKU shortly after release that I'm going to want more which is what happened to me with the Wii U and the Wind Waker bundle.

What was that website where you could buy PC parts, and for a small fee they would build, test, and ship it for you?
I never built a PC before, so I'd rather do that

NCIX. They are pretty great.

It seems to depend wildly by store, like most things at Shoppers. I have one near me thet almost always has new games in stock, but basically every other one has nearly no new games.
Yea for 50 bucks they build it properly, do cable management, test stability, and include a one year warranty. Not to mention Linus.
The best place for PC stuff, fuck Canada Computers. Every item I bought from them broke down (2 different HDDs, two sticks of RAM, and some Razer wireless headphones).

I haven't watched this thread as closely as I should have... But has New Super Mario Bros U ever been on sale? It's the only Wii u game I'm missing that I want
Trying to decide whether to wait or just pay full price

I think only a couple dozen people realized it wasn't some sort of add-on for the Wii.
Keep an eye out and wait. Even Mario Kart was on sale at amazon at one point.
Amazon Lightning Deal, 7th Dragon III Code: VFD is $32.99 (40% off):

WHY NOT. I'm a sucker for random 3DS JRPGs. Buying them, anyways.
This got really good reviews as well. I have a copy waiting for me in my backlog...

I was at that from buying this, but I got to be reasonable here...I reserved my gaming time of January and February to Berseria and Digimon.

Hey. Just noticed that my Witcher 3 came with a sound track on disc. Does the Complete Edition have this? Was going to sell my original copy and pick up the Complete Edition next time it hits the $30 mark but if it doesn't come with the sound track...

They did for the PS4. Then again, Sony seemed determined to get as many preorders as possible, everywhere that sold games.
Who knows with Nintendo.
Costco does love bundles though.

I was in that boat a month ago. I ordered from NCIX and ordered the build. It was going to take for ever though and wouldn't be ready for Christmas so I just decided to just buy the parts and do it myself.
It was my first PC build and I had no idea what I was doing and was terrified at first, but it was very simple and the only tricky part was the CPU cooler but it was easy after watching a you tube video.
I highly recommend learning and doing it yourself, it is rewarding and will help you to troubleshoot in the future if there is an issue.
I did kind of screw up one thing though. I accidently screwed my mother board into the case with the 3.5" HDD mounting screws and cannot get them out again. Lesson learned there.
My build was

Thanks for the heads up! I've been looking to grab this, it seems to be a real sleeper hit from last year. I've even seen it creep on a couple year end lists.

Oh this looks nice. I may adjust some stuff to make it 2000 though
It's a JRPG that tries to act as "my first dungeon crawler" kind of thing. It's fun for what it is and it's a good price for it. Since it's a Japanese game the two executives of the video game company in the game tries to molest your character on multiple occasions.
Yea I know, but they still got that same vibe, feels like they are still one.
Dammit, it's done now. :/
