Good news guys, you're gonna be saving a lot of money on the launch lineup.

 

[Moltenix]

Omg, Nintendo have turned into the Apple of gaming with these accessory prices.

 

[JSR_Cube]

Those accessory prices are the cherry on the top of the insanity cake for me. WTH?

 

[jholmes]

I am so in on Mario Odyssey, but what's going to be there at launch? I don't know that I really need a new console less than two months from now.

I mean I like what I saw, but this might be the first time in 20 years I don't get a new Nintendo console Day 1. I guess we'll see.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Not doubting you but where's the source for this? I want to repost but would like the original source.

[antibolo]

So... any pre-orders open yet?

Although I guess at $400 it's not exactly going to fly off the shelves in Canada, so I'm not very nervous anymore...

 

[nschizo]

When pre order in amazon is available?

 

[kevin1025]

I'm getting real Sonic Adventure casino/city vibes from that "New Donk City" Mario world...

Also, ARMS is not confirmed as a launch title. It has vague "spring" terms for its launch window.

 

[UberTag]

Omg, Nintendo have turned into the Apple of gaming with these accessory prices.

On the bright side, if the Switch flops and Nintendo stops releasing hardware, we'll probably have to pony up for Apple products to play their games.

Canadian Prices here.

Over $100 with taxes for a goddamn controller. End this life.

 

[N° 2048]

LOL

 

[Moltenix]

The dock is so overpriced they not even putting the CDN price.

$90 for the pro controller? I'll never complain about $75 dualshock 4s ever again.

 

[diaspora]

$400 can suck my dick, I'm out.

 

[leeman]

EB Games In Store as well tomorrow

https://twitter.com/EBGamesCanada/status/819777149133418496

 

[Vamphuntr]

100$ for another complete joycon and 90$ for a Pro controller. Holy hell they are mad.

 

[seantos]

$90 for a pro controller and $99 for the pair of Joy-Con's......holy shit. That's mind numbingly stupid and crazy.

 

[Qwyjibo]

I can't wait to buy the Switch... in 2019.

 

[HubbaBubba]

RIP Nintendo

 

[Animal]

I already pre-ordered weeks ago at EB but now their twitter says pre-orders start tomorrow morning? Should I expect to have my pre-order respected?

 

[crazy monkey]

Not getting it till it's 199. Highest i paid was 250 for wii. Never paying more than 199 for console.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Seems like WiiU again. Their HD Rumble and improved IR stuff is probably expensive and drive the cost up

 

[Sealtest]

$69.99 USD is crazy for the pro controller.. I don't see why they went with that price.

 

[SickBoy]

I really didn't think they'd disappoint, but here we are. The pricing is my biggest problem, but I also thought the whole presentation was going to be a slam dunk.... and while there were games that look really good, nothing that spoke to me as a gamer.

Still strongly considering, but it's $50 more than I wanted it to be and $70 more than I'd hoped.

EDIT: And that accessory pricing!

Do we need to wait for the announcement of the Switch Ambassador program?

 

[Moltenix]

I love Nintendo but I really hope this thing bombs hard at retail here in Canada. These prices are insane.

Next ur gonna tell me there's a Nintendo tax on games too $89.99.

 

[jayu26]

You guys enjoy your Switch. I will wait.

 

[Bronetta]

I went from day 1 to Im out lol





Good luck selling this thing.

 

[TheRealTalker]

$400

lololololoollololololol

no thanks

I'll wait

 

[bryt]

100$ for another complete joycon and 90$ for a Pro controller. Holy hell they are mad.

Wtf at these prices...

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Edit: Double post

 

[Moltenix]

Oh shit guys, we're all forgetting to include the future online service fee as well. Bet that's gonna be crazy expensive for us too.

 

[shadow2810]

I'm out.

Buying one when on sale or when Xenoblade 2 is released, whichever comes first.

 

[catpurrcat]

I already pre-ordered weeks ago at EB but now their twitter says pre-orders start tomorrow morning? Should I expect to have my pre-order respected?

You're actually keeping your preorder? I'd be looking for a way out.

Spoiler

kidding, to each their own, of course

But yeah best to ask the store manager directly, to be sure nothing gets "switched" on you. They are helpful.

 

[Bass260]

Really really disappointing. Not only in the price, but in the actual games shown. Might be the first Nintendo platform I sit out on for awhile.

 

[wheremypho]

Glad Zelda is still coming to the Wii U. Doesn't look like I'll be missing much until a Switch price drop.

We're soon going to hit those mid-90's SNES prices, haha, if this is any indicator.

Also, as of right now, the PR seems to only have Zelda and 1, 2, Switch as the launch titles.

No, really.

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

Only 655$ in Quebec to play Zelda with a Pro Controller on the Switch! What a bargain!

 

[Vamphuntr]

Wait, does the thing not come with the dock they show in front of the TV, or am I reading that wrong?

It comes with one. Come on

It's for people that wants more than one. Like instead of having two Switch in your house you buy one and another dock. Well hopefully if their account system allows it.

 

[chrominance]

Edit: Double post

It comes with a dock. The reason they're selling additional docks is if you want to be able to hook your Switch up to multiple TVs without having to bring the dock with you.

It's Nintendo, I can never be sure lol.

 

[StewboaT_]

Wow, I'm definitely out at those prices. Good luck, Nintendo...

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Same as most here. Day 1 to out. These prices are nuts.

 

[Lexxism]

Thank god I'm not a Zelda fan. I don't need to drop 400 + 80 on it

 

[UberTag]

Oh shit guys, we're all forgetting to include the future online service fee as well. Bet that's gonna be crazy expensive for us too.

But the good news is you get a free NES or SNES game to play during each month (but only for that month) with online play. How exciting!

 

[Sora_N]

Eh still buying, I'm just gonna cancel some PS4 games I think.

 

[True Fire]

Only 655$ in Quebec to play Zelda with a Pro Controller on the Switch! What a bargain!

I don't understand the value here lol, Zelda is a Wii U game and for 550 dollars you can buy a PS4 Pro and play open world games at 1800p upscaled to 4K
