8 new racers = 8 playable Toads

And one Toad will differently coloured

So GameStop just screwed all of us who got on the "pre-pre-order" list. Just got the call preorders go live at 10am when Gamestops open, allocations will be posted late tonite or tomorrow morning. First come, first serve. This is after I was repeatedly assured by the manager that our names would be carried over to the official preorder list with a small time window to get to the store to get it locked down. So, I was lied to by GameStop. After my fiasco with their online order, I should have learned.

Good luck out there and I'll be done with GameStop. /salty

I figured this was the case. Glad I canceled my pre-pre-order and just kept the store credit on my card.

 

[Defect]

Amazon. Mentioned countless times in this thread

I know Amazon doesn't. I thought they wouldn't hold preorders for Nintendo consoles though.

 

[Martin5000]

What happened to my hype!
yesterday I was full of it but now nothing is left ...

 

[Tom Nook]

Hi is this the thread?

No,

This one, will be open before presentation

 

[AmyS]

Other than possibly Metroid, nothing would get me more hyped for Switch than Dark Souls Trilogy and a Sega Model 3 Archives by M2.

We told you lol. Dude writing yall name down on a piece of tissue paper was nothing lol

 

[ultrazilla]

Lol why would you think you would be able to be up on the list early wtf..

Lol because I was told by GameStop management as they had started a un-official wait list and they REPEATEDLY assured those on the list they'd keep their place once they went live.

It is what it is. Fool me once...

Good luck out there folks, still hyped!!

 

[Earendil]

I can back those claims of March 17 as the launch date in the US. I've heard the same.

Any word on price yet? Or is that still under wraps?

 

[e_i]

Was going to take off on March 17th, but I already have off that day (since I work Saturday, the 18th).

 

[Lgndryhr]

Also, was told by one of my NOA contacts that this launch is being handled very differently than previous launches for some odd reason. They are trying their best to get back to their roots this go around. That's the word internally anyways.

 

[AR15mex]

Please Please Summary Round up of rumors on the last 2 days!!!

 

[Oersted]

US only and that changed two years ago

 

[TheMagician]

8 new racers = 8 playable Toads

4 new versions of Mario and 4 new versions of Peach.

 

[Col.Asher]

If you're going to do this, do it right and get some whiskey.

Unfortunately the liquor store is too far away, or rather I don't want to go that far.

 

[BlackJace]

March 17 would be my birthday. Lit if true.

 

[GasProblem]

I know there's a small chance, but I really want a glimpse of a new Animal Crossing.

And I'm ready for Pikachu and a Pokemon based track in Mario Kart.

 

[NateDrake]

Any word on price yet? Or is that still under wraps?

Price is one thing I can't seem to get just yet, but I'm trying to find out. Also trying to see if I can get more specifics about the GameStop trade-in promo.

 

[HackTheSlash]

I wonder how many people will be posting later Friday pissed off they couldnt nail a pre-order down?

Spoiler

Hope i can get one

 

[DonShula]

So, I was lied to by GameStop.

GameStop: *blows imaginary smoke away from barrel of finger guns*

GameStop: *holsters finger guns*

Gamestop: "Would you like to preorder Madden NFL 18 today? It might sell out!"

 

[Risgroo]

Who in gods name is Bluster Kong?

He doesn't know?!

Oh boy. I think it's about time we told you about the Donkey Kong Country TV show.

Bluster the Benevolent

The Mirror Never Lies

 

[J@hranimo]

Hopefully we'll get some great meme gifs and quotables from Kimishima tonight and beyond.

 

[GDGF]

8 new racers?

King Boo
Diddy Kong
Funky Kong
Cranky Kong
Candy Kong
Lanky Kong
Wrinkly Kong
Bluster Kong

You forgot Dragon Kong.

 

[Lgndryhr]

Any word on price yet? Or is that still under wraps?

I am hearing at minimum $249. I have been told $299 by a few other sources. I am guessing these two prices relate to the different bundles at launch.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

nvm

Fair enough...

Thanks guys.

"Super Bomberman R"

Would many people even buy this? I can't imagine them doing anything other than a coat of paint on the multiplayer. Like, it feels it would be a eShop title at best.

 

[GhostBed]

Are we expecting a Pokken port with all the arcade characters included? I thought it was practically a given but no one seems to be talking about it.

That game really deserves another chance. Still play with my buddy and we both love it to death.

 

[Retrobox]

Any idea what that means?

 

[phanphare]

I think I may go get a six pack for this. Question is though, scotch ale or IPA?

a funky farmhouse ale

 

[Rncewind]

So whats the rumored launch date for eu exactly?

 

[LegendofLex]

Have there been any price leaks?

Almost every US placeholder is $249.99 or $299.99.

That's probably a good guideline for assumptions.

Never trust anything GameStop employees say, how have you not learned this by now?

Gamestop: "Would you like to preorder Madden NFL 18 today? It might sell out!"

ahahahahahahahahah

 

[AkumaNiko]

Online if I preorder at all. Best Buy probably first choice (would rather have the GCU reward points), Amazon as second choice. If I decide to preorder I'd go with whichever popped up first though.

im going to F5 the shit out of amazon and bestbuy. make my wife wake up and go to GS tomorrow if i cant get one online

 

[Coda]

If there's anyone I trust less it's Gamestop, I don't want to pre-order with them because I just have a feeling I'll get screwed one way or another. Amazon is my plan but I know that once it goes live, it won't be long until all their pre-orders have been taken.

 

[PSFan]

You forgot Dragon Kong.

And Tiny Kong and Chunky Kong too

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Please Please Summary Round up of rumors on the last 2 days!!!

Here you go. There was a nice roundup a few pages back.

 

[Deleted member 752119]

So whats the rumored launch date for eu exactly?

March 17th worldwide is the rumor.

 

[PadWarrior]

My Gamestop is opening at 9 tomorrow.

 

[Sesuadra]

So whats the rumored launch date for eu exactly?

17.03.2017

 

[The_Intruder]

Agreed and I hope so, it would be fun if we see pokken and tekken 7 at launch.

 

[Fess]

Of all the shit that might be shown tonight this interests me almost more than anything.

Same here. I'll be pissed if my Wii VC+WiiU VC purchases are forever locked up in my WiiU.

 

[frankie_baby]

So whats the rumored launch date for eu exactly?

17th March

 

[Lgndryhr]

Any idea what that means?

My NOA contact wouldn't elaborate except that a few things have changed internally since Iwata has been gone. Some for better, some for worse.

 

[superNESjoe]

Maybe it is an eShop title. I'd buy a new Bomberman.

 

[daripad]

I don't even expect to buy a Switch in two years or ever but I still want to see what they'll show today. I'm hyped guys

 

[ManeKast]

Just woke up in Aus, hey guys!

How are we? I don't know how else to hamdle the next 7.5hrs.... SO FUCKING EXCITED. OMFG.

YEAAAAAH!!!!!!!

 

[Kitoro]

So.. the screen is definitely made out of glass, right?
