Who is JC? Jackie Chan works for Nintendo?
All they care about is Fifa and PES, right?

Storage is a concern, and I like being able to resell--especially with Nintendo since their games hold value and I don't have to rush to beat them before the prices tank.
So I'd reserve digital there for things like Animal Crossing, Splatoon that are long-term, pick up and play games as those are great to not have to switch carts as you note.
Pretty much same as I do on other platforms, though there I also buy cheap digital games that are priced low enough that I don't care about not being able to resell, but that doesn't really happen often with Nintendo first party stuff or their major third party exclusives.

Imagine being stuck in a room with that guy for more than 10 minutes. *shudders*

Aha. Thank you.
Never heard of him. Abd I thought I know staff at Nintendo by now. >_<

Is people start to losing their sanity right now?
He's probably not like that in real life, only on his videos.

He appears a lot on treehouse.

Surprisingly still calm! I fully expect hype to only kick in a couple hours before the show. Though being up at 2am to get ready for 4am will make me grumpy.

This gif is way too friggin fast, I can't stop to look at it.
Gamecube main color was purple and the box were black
3DS had a red 3 in the logo but the boxes were white
More like last week =P
Love it.
I think the pre-order limits are indicative of a larger problem with Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft's retail distribution chain as compared to say Apple's.
I can place an order for an iPhone at Apple.com as soon as pre-orders open and I know I'm locked in place and I can place the same order at a Verizon or AT&T store and know I dont have to keep following up to get the item. It will ship when my place in the virtual line comes up.
The video game companies dont do this and cap pre-orders at a rather low level and if the item is hot force customers to jump from store to store in hopes of finding one.
It wouldn't prevent scalping (look at the price of AirPods for example), but it would certainly be less annoying to have to have one retail transaction that results in a purchase even if someone has to wait for shipping.

Man, I had a dream about the new 3D Mario this past night. It was:
- Like a mix between Mario Galaxy (having some planetoid like parts) and Super Mario 64, as being more open ended in design.
- Looked Amazing. Like a more "painted" style in comparison to the segments shown in the Switch First Look.
- Several Characters were playable, each with their own abilities, required to progress through certain areas of the game.
- Music certainly had a Super Mario 64 vibe to it.
- It was like a mix between open world and level based. Imagine a Hub like Mario 64, Galaxy, or Sunshine, but much bigger and more varied, with several objectives. Each level is a subarea contained in this bigger hub, with no screen transition like in the aforementioned games.
It was amazing, and now I'll probably be a bit disappointed with the real thing

"starting" to lose our minds.
Yep... Time is starting to slow more and more as we approach the reveal, I suspect the time will stop just before the presentation...

It's almost time!
edit: Oh yeah, NateDrake made a video stating Gamestop will open their Pre-orders on Friday the 13th and will announce a trade-in promo for current gen consoles towards it.
Complain to me about misinformation instead of him if late.

I don't know what you're talking about...
I'll share what I heard today concerning GameStop pre-orders. Will be available once the stores open on Friday morning, allocations differs per-store, and a trade-in promo will be detailed this week - so if you are looking to unload your PS4, Xbox One, or Wii U for trade credit you'll hear about the promo this week. And GameStop will have a list for those who miss pre-orders but want to be emailed or called if extra pre-orders become available.

Will this topic make it to 350 pages before the Official Switch Presentation topic gets created? Lol

There's also that there could be additional shipments in the last half of the month, so not all 2 million would be there day one.

I DEMAND A MAJORA'S MASK COUNTDOWN
Sigh, one more work shift tomorrow before my time off to bask in the glory of the full switch unveiling. Gonna secure a preorder ASAP.
Edit.
That is brilliant.

Nintendo Spain's PR manager just posted this on his Twitter, and I think it's amazing. Not sure if it's his creation, but whatever.

Wait what's that thing at the bottom poking out? I don't remember the Switch poking something out.
Ditto
He's a cool dude. I first met him in Twitch chat and helped couch Team Squidiot to near total victory for the Treehouse Splatoon tournament.

Slowly starting to lose my sanity and go into full hype mode!!! The only thing is pushing me back to be in full hype mode now are the preorder stuff : /

What will feel like an eternity is when the clock strikes zero and the stream does not start and a message pops up on screen saying "The event will begin shortly". Sony used to be bad for this at E3 where would be waiting 10-15 minutes.

This is dope. I've got a feeling they're going to give their adult fans a nostalgia overload that will make owning a Switch borderline mandatory.

How come Nintendo Spain made an advert in English?
Raro de cojones.
Edit. Oh, the PR Manager.
I don't think it is, but it's neat regardless. If anything it's extra-official, as it might have been made by someone at Nintendo, but not supposed to represent the company officially.
