The system will obviously come with Mario Run preloaded.

It's going to be $250. Haven't the legit insiders been saying this for months?

I would love to see just one SKU and then some sort of starter pack you can buy as an option, giving you a game, sd card and stuff.

They were due to holiday pricing! Now they're back to $300. I'll be really interested to see how that pricing sits with consumers. If the Switch were a traditional console with the rumored power and price, it would be DOA. As it stands, the hybrid concept could really do it some big favors on the front.
All Switch units will come with a 10% coupon on a days pass to their Universal theme park (Orlando OR Hollywood, hooray), opening 2020. Coupon expires 2021.
The 'basic' SKU, apparently. No idea about the Deluxe.
I still think Smash Bros would be the best game to pack in, especially a port of the last gen Smash game.
For what they give up in sales of a $60 game, they get back in:
1. A shit load of DLC sales (it's on them for not milking that mother fucker for everything it's worth)
2. Exposing everyone who buys the console to basically every Nintendo franchise known to man, resulting in awareness and sales of those games/amiibo

That would be nice, but the £ is in a weak place right now. More like £230.

Do you reckon the launch titles will be undershipped also?
Was hard to get hold of the big hitters in the early days of the Wii in the UK.

Mega Man Universe is back and a Switch exclusive, Mega Man 11 tease
I am just giving the immediate reaction from a young adult gamer who plays on PS4.

Would anyone be happy if Sega announced Madworld 2 for the Switch?

I preorder even the heavy hitters just in case.

A single SKU for $249 with Splatoon is going to do gangbusters, if this turns out to be true.

Was it? I remember Wii Play being sold out like crazy but I never had trouble getting any other games for the Wii during that period.
Please be true!

There's only one SKU with 32Gb of internal memory and it retails for $250. It also comes with the new Nintendo IP that Emily mentioned as a free pack-in. No guesses on what the new IP is, but it'll be used to demo all the unique tech in the joycons.
I've been saying this for months. I would have picked Smash as the pack-in (assuming there is one).

This is my favorite Switch hype train music. It kinda sounds like a train, from the past to the future.

By the same token, Smash is a known entity and I imagine they want Splatoon to become a major IP going forward. What better way to increase awareness than by packing it in with every Switch? There's also Amiibo sales to be had off Splatoon as well.

No matter what, we'll still have digital versions of every launch game.

The 3DS version is awesome! The 100 Mario levels with medal challenges alone are worth $40. Its essentially a brand new 2D Mario game. Endless levels to play online is just extra.
Put Inkling in Smash and raise awareness for Splatoon that way.
That's the magic of Smash. It's like a giant Nintendo advertisement.
I can't even comprehend how much that game would sell.

Anyone thinking this is $250 with a game included is dreaming. $250 will be system, dock, joy con grip, and cables. Everything else is added cost.

Any suggestions for my bingo card?
If this somehow becomes true, GOTY and a dream come true
Why are folk still going on about a second SKU? What source of information supports one? It didn't exactly work for Wii U and if it's SD card storage it's pretty unnecessary.
A game spread across hardware isn't too big of an investment loss. Nintendo want this to catch people right away.

I think they'd rather leverage Smash on its own as opposed to a pack-in. Then again what do I know?
...but the US price doesn't include tax.
With the UK 20% tax rate £205= £246
..but the US price really doesn't matter in regards to the pound...only the euro does.
If it's 250 euros then expect a £229 rrp (should be £219..but given Brexit uncertainty I'd expect them to round it up at the moment).

Get rid of the red squigglies
But for real, on a sad note, perhaps one last acknowledgement of Satoru Iwata, seeing as this was hatched during his time at the company.

Yes we will. Now just need a decent memory solution so that going digital is actually viable. This is the biggest concern I have about the Switch. I need that big memory card.
Also to me. But I've been dreaming about a new Rogue Squadron since the WiiU was announced.

I will be amazed if this isn't the negative bombshell that we're waiting for. Finding out that the Switch only has one SKU with 32Gb of memory. It'll be saved in due time by using Micro SD instead of something proprietary, but at launch it'll sting for anyone who wants digital games.

I guess been our most people going to be buying the carts anyway. And I'm sure they'll be expandable memory section for those who want it to be more portable without having to worry about if you want to download a game
