Support NeoGAF

[Volotaire]

7am UK is 11pm PST?

Yep.

 

[JonnyKong]

So I'm expected to get up at 4 to watch the presentation, go back to bed, then back up at 7 so I can get a pre order in on Amazon?

My body can't handle these erratic hours.

 

[Athreous]

How long till Nintendo's announcement?

 

[Col.Asher]

Super Mario odyssey is directed by stanley kubrick's spirit

Reggie: "By combining the dark arts and cutting edge technology, we at Nintendo have called Stanley Kubrick's spirit to direct Eternal Darkness 2"

 

[KaneU]

Where can I even watch this conference, there are no links in the first post!

 

[wbEMX]

Wanna place any bets how long it will take until GAF goes down due to hype?

I'm pulling an all-nighter, fuck it.

Staying up, watching this shit then browse the hype train for a couple hours, get a preorder in then sleep.

You could just wake up at 7 for the pre-order and watch the presentation then. Good sleep is worth it, thought I prioritize sleep over most things in life, haha.

 

[Waylon Drums]

I'm on vacation and thought that the presentation was tomorrow until just now. How exciting!

So what you're saying is...

Spoiler

your body is not ready?

Spoiler

Your body must be ready

 

[MAtgS]

What if its Elder Scrolls that's the "sequel, not port" and this is where ES6 is announced?

 

[Rootbeer]

amazon USA please confirm your time...

 

[Volotaire]

Where does it mention 7am?

Here's the non mobile link

Note: Please be advised that Nintendo Switch will be available to pre-order from 07:00 BST Friday, 13 January, 2017. Due to limited stock we are only able to offer one unit per customer per address. We will be fulfilling customer orders in the order in which they were placed.

 

[eoa-swam]

not even 3 posts above yours...

Good call. I spotted it when I refreshed the page.

That Amazon Switch holding page mentions nothing about a time though. The page has been the same for months.

Didn't work on my desktop, but on my phone you can see the product page and there's a section beneath it that has a note saying that pre-orders go live at 7 AM BST and that it'll be limited to one per user. Orders will be fulfilled in the order that they are made.

How long is this conference. Not bothered about watching it live but would like to watch it before I go work so need to know how early I need to wake up.

 

[BGBW]

Remember 7am BST is 6am GMT/UTC. Don't know why Amazon is using British Summer Time during the winter.

 

[Malyse]

Four hours.

 

[tiebreaker]

Time for a Wishlist:
- No subscription needed for online play.
- Account system similar to Xbox/Playstation.
- Priced accordingly.
- Teaser for the next game from Monolith Soft.
- Some surprise announcements, maybe Klonoa??

 

[frankie_baby]

Oooooh do a put a preorder in in the morning or just wait and queue for 25 hours in london for the inevitable launch event like i did with the wii u

 

[Volotaire]

EDIT: Hang on. We're in GMT not BST. Does this mean Amazon UK made an error on the timezone or that the pre-orders will actually go up one hour earlier?

So 6:00 AM GMT?

EDIT: BGBW beat me.

 

[PadWarrior]

10 PM PST/1 AM EST

I'm ok with this

 

[BahamutPT]

Why the hell is Amazon using British Summer Time?

(Too late)

 

[wild wild rice]

10 PM PST/1 AM EST

This is the presumed time for Amazon pre-orders? That's rough.

C'mon Best Buy, post them shits as soon as date/price are announced.

 

[serenewarfare]

This is the presumed time for Amazon pre-orders?

If the Amazon UK time is correct and Amazon US is on the same timeline, then yes.

 

[Steve Youngblood]

It's not pre-recorded. I don't know if there's even a ballpark right now, but there certainly isn't an exact runtime. If I were to just pull an estimate out of thin air, I'd personally assume 60 to 90 minutes.

 

[Baleoce]

Here's the non mobile link

orz. 7am is unreasonably early to start pre-orders. Parents are gonna have no idea about this as well. I've set myself up for e-mail alerts on this item, but you'd expect to get one to tell you before the fact, if the e-mail is coming at 7am..

 

[slit]

Those are titles that are rumored to be playable at an EU event. So that would indicate they will be launch or close to launch titles. But no, that would not be all that will be shown tonight.

Rumored to be part of what will be playable in European event.

They are games that are rumoured to be playable at a Switch event in Europe. There is no guarantee that:

1. All games listed make launch;
2. No games outside of that list are available at launch;
3. Nintendo announces only those games during the presentation;
4. Nintendo announces all of the games listed during the presentation;
5. These games are all the games that are playable at the Europe events.

They're from a 4chan leak that purported to originate from someone setting up the marketing materials for the playable demoes at a European event happening this weekend. So, if these are real, they aren't necessarily launch titles, nor are they necessarily the only titles being shown. Just that they are the playable titles that this one person saw during the set-up for a European event.

Thanks, wasn't sure where the rumor actually came from.

maybe the person who put it up thought BST means British Standard Time >>?

 

[The Hermit]

Fuck, it's gonna be 2AM in Sao paulo when the conference hits.

 

[KooopaKid]

For the first time in more than a century, every single game shown at a Nintendo conference will be of interest because it's going to be released on a single, unique new Nintendo console.

Wait, really? I hope you're joking lmao

So it'll be 6am for us in London etc?

This is Nintendo. No matter when that link goes live, they'll be sold out in 15 minutes.

 

[Crocodile]

I still have no idea what "Ultra Street Fighter 2" could even mean or who would be the target audience

*scratches head*

 

[Bronetta]

Why is Reggie eating a cookie?!?

Super Mario Cookie?

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Trying to understand, how do people know when the amazon preorders go live?

 

[Ibuki]

Yoshi's Cookie confirmed for launch.

I totally read this as 'lunch'... damn I am hungry.

It's not Christmastime, parents aren't going to care about buying this in March. They'll be wanting to buy it come November or so.

Staying up, watching this shit then browse the hype train for a couple hours, get a preorder in then sleep.

Now you mention it, reading the Gaf reaction afterwards will take up a lot of time, plus by the time the presentation has finished I'll be wide awake.

In regards to the pre order, I'm still hoping to get one in at Grainger Games as it's just down the road from me, but I'll use an online site as a back up.

*scratches head*

A new version of SF2 with new content.

 

[kulapik]

Just hopped on lunch and saw this: https://twitter.com/kenichiro_taka/status/819538239165853696

"I'm interested in how they introduce THAT unique feature and how people will react to it."

We over analyzed this yet? I might be way late... also, the translation could be nonsense, I guess.



Thanks! Looks like I've got some backtracking to do lol.

I think it's haptic feedback, so you can feel you're touching those boobies.

Read the tweet the Nintendo account is replying to.

The Amazon UK page for the Switch.
