The Wii wasnt hard here in Bergen, but yeah, the Nes Mini was terribly undershipped here and everywhere else.

This isn't a statement about you personally, but I wish we could all stop acting like the NES Mini was a console launch. It was most definitely hell to find one (and still is), but that's because Nintendo is cautious AND treated it like a novelty item. If they had treated it like a console, I feel like they would have allowed pre-orders.

I didn't try to get a Wii on launch day, but does anyone know how that was with pre-ordering? My thought was that it was just hard to find if you expected to walk into a store and find one. In the US, the PS4 was sold out for weeks after launch but I had no problem pre-ordering one a week or two beforehand.

Just got the day off for January 13th.

I'll be able to watch the whole Switch Event, no stress.

They did, and they sold out before launch. There weren't even units available in December anymore.

Indeed. The stress will come after the event, when Switchmas will become Switchmare.

Spoiler

Actually, I'd like to see the Presentation thread's subtitle to include both Switchmas and Switchmare, somehow :lol

I booked it off as soon as it was announced. Going to try and book launch day off too.

Really? I don't remember seeing any (besides I think Target randomly throwing them up). I'll gladly stand corrected if they offered that in the U.S.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

It is not

Boo. Enjoy you guys!

And Wii was definitely sold out at launch, it was mental.

 

[Shiggy]

Well, the user you quoted mentions Norway. Europe had preorders. Amazon.de sold out in July already.

Nintendo Switch Presentation Thread: The Nightmare Before Switchmas

 

[Diprosalic]

Can't we call it Switcholidays?


Let's try to be inclusive.

Nintendo Switch Presentation Thread: The Nightmare Before Switchmas

Fitting considering all the bullshit we had to deal with before the reveal with rumors and leaks and whatnot.

 

[Okami Haundo]

Ah... That makes sense. Forgive my American ignorance for not realizing they did that in other parts of the world... =x

Move over here and you can already preorder the Switch. I already have my 250 EUR ready

You think MM will go for a midnight launch?

 

[Pachimari]

I guess it's not until tomorrow we'll get the Game Informer issue here in Europe.

 

[Shiggy]

You think MM will go for a midnight launch?

No, wouldn't expect it for a Nintendo system. Shipments will be too low anyway, so launch hype will probably limited (compared to PS4, which was readily available).

 

[LordKano]

The positive aspect of living in a country where no one care about Nintendo is that I never have to preorder things to find them in stores.

 

[RootCause]

I dont get this. Personally I havent bought any of these remakes since I owned them all before, and didnt get Hyrule Warriors because Musou, so for me this is that big Star Wars moment of first Zelda since Skyward Sword - and that makes me incredibly hyped!

I don't get it either, and I was hyped for all the remakes. And I'm still excited for BOTW.

 

[Yado]

I need new Switch news. Someone make something up.

 

[HylianTom]

I heard a rumor that each store will be getting 8-10 units at most for the first week!

(how's that? I tried..)

That's too realistic. I was hoping for something grander.

Since you quoted me, just gotta say that I totally agree on this.

[Jaded Alyx]

So when is that Game Informer issue coming out? Wasn't it supposed to be today?

Just wanted to make the information leaked more representative of the final product.

 

[Lutherian]

So when is that Game Informer issue coming out? Wasn't it supposed to be today?

Tomorrow.

Can't wait, maybe we'll get a glimpse for the release date of BotW... or "Breath of the Wild Guess".

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Tomorrow.

...Balls.

 

[Kjellson]

Is it going to be new info in Game Informer or something?

 

[Zedark]

Is it going to be new info in Game Informer or something?

I think you should expect coverage comparable to the Horizon Zero Dawn coverage, so I'd think it'll be meaty.

 

[JonnyKong]

Bugger off you! I hope it's crap.

 

[tonyh24613]

I had the weirdest dream that Nintendo accidentally uploaded all of the trailers for the January 12th event publicly to YouTube.

I remember once Nintendo France accidentally upload full Nintendo Direct footage a few minutes before the stream, but Nintendo didn't say that the Switch presentation is prerecorded, right?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Lkd said not to expect any platinum announcement next week sadly...

Well Laura been wishy washy lately I say just wait and see and dont put too much stock into what she is saying there.

I mean looking at platinum's situation now (granblue, Scalebound) Probably not... but what is hashimoto directing right now..? He seemed pretty cool with Nintendo with Wii U so I bet he getting a second wind.

 

[Vidiot]

Sorry if this is common knowledge but has it been said if docks will be sold separately? I'd love to be able to easily transport my Switch between tvs in my house.
