I'm staying up til 5 to watch this (Europe). Hope it delivers! I'm pretty hyped!

 

[frankie_baby]

Just got home and...

BOMBERMAN'S BACK???!!!

I hope this isn't just a small title, I seriously hope Nintendo bought him from Konami after they bought him from Hudson and let him die.

Nothing confirmed, the list of games is from a guy on 4chan, I'm firmly on #TeamBullshit

 

[Mariolee]

Need to use the layaway program for Walmart it's being reported.

Wait what? What's the layaway program?

 

[Howard Ballou]

Normally I'll go home and prep food but today is different. I'm going to Ceasar Pizza get myself a deep dish and prepare to be amazed.

Spoiler

I hope...

I mean the deep dish is decent but don't have unrealistic expectations.

 

[koss424]

Will I be able to watch this through the Wii U YouTube app, without issues?

Shouldn't be a problem. I would feel too guilty to do that to my WIiU though.

 

[tommyguns]

East coast here..Currently getting ready to go out to dinner with my girlfriend and another couple we are friends with. Dinner should lead me right into about 9:30/10 just in time to get home and watch Easy Allies pre show....

Then of course, the main event at 11. Can't wait

 

[Coda]

Amazon US hasn't announced a time yet. They operate differently from Amazon UK.

It'd be cool if they announce a time so we can all plan for it rather than it just opening up at a random moment during the conference. I plan on watching it on the twitch app on my PS4 while having my computer open to pre-order.

[frankie_baby]

I thought Nintendo was only shipping 2 million at launch?

That was their forecast but its always possible there'll be more, I'd imagine they were being conservative with their shipment forecasts so they have good news for investors in april

 

[DeuceGamer]

Shouldn't be a problem. I would feel too guilty to do that to my WIiU though.

Why? Wii U is like the proud papa

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Alright Nintendo; you wanna push me over the edge.......Overwatch on the Switch. Do it.

Grow your eSports base, that and Splatoon can co-exist.

Right?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I thought Nintendo was only shipping 2 million at launch?

That was the the report from last October, but Kimishima said production could ramp up if they see an increase in demand. I wouldn't be surprised if the launch shipment has increased but that's just speculation on my end.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I just got some sleep. I needed it for this lol

 

[Deleted member 752119]

What's everyone doing to hype themselves these last few hours?

After I eat something, I'm going to drink some beer and fire up my Wii you for the first time in ages. Play a little Splatoon, maybe some 3D World and Nintendoland, maybe fire up Mario Galaxy on the VC.

 

[Graphics Horse]

It's a well researched piece of bullshit if it is. I think it's true but they could always have thrown in a few fake titles for fun.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

So on a scale of 1-10, how hype are we collectively right now?

I'm currently sitting at about a 5, but as we get closer, that's gonna ramp up to a 12. I'm hoping for some really surprising game announcements.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

It would be a great buy. Nintendo has a huge place in it's heart for Bomberman; I'd love them to be able to create something decent for the IP again.

After the announcement they should put all the 64 Bomberman titles up on the VC, as well as a decent selection of the GB and GBA titles (I want Bomberman Tournament mainly).

 

[WordAssassin]

I bet the feature the Senran Kagura dev is talking about is the multitouch screen *side eye smirk*

8 and rising.

 

[blayne IV]

How is everyone preordering tomorrow? I was going to do Gamestop but they open at 10 am. I'd rather doing something a bit earlier. What time does Wal-mat do their preorders?

Walmart didn't have any info when I stopped there.
My local Walmart is usually pretty good, told me they would have a few nes classics the night before and was able to score one the next day. No luck today. Lady asked over the radio and got a response from manager quickly.

If I don't get one in amazon tonight I'll try at 6am tomorrow

(And maybe "work from home" until the local Gamestop opens and try to get one there too)

Have the need to have one of these for home and another "for on the go" or to use if any games work better multiple with 2 screens.

Anyone else trying to get more than one for themselves?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I heard somewhere else that 2 million is now the US shipment number.

up to 11.

Last hour? 23

 

[DeuceGamer]

Let's all hope. If not I do expect a large shipment after the new fiscal year.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Amazon US is gonna put it up at 3:30AM aren't they lol.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I heard somewhere else that 2 million is now the US shipment number.

That would be amazing.

 

[alexbull_uk]

Was bored and hyped, so I made this:

Shame the presentation is at 4am here, I'll have to wait until after work to catch up on all the news. Just hope my GAME preorder holds.

 

[TunaLover]

 

[zewone]

As long as it's $250 or less and has an IPS screen, I'm preordering.

That's all the information I'll need.

Oh i dont doubt a lot of research went into it, one thing is clear from all the switch bullshitters has been they've all had a hell of a lot of time on their hands

I like it.

 

[Moltenix]

Feels like it's Splatfest with all the #TeamReal versus #TeamFake.

TeamFake seems to be leading in popularity but will TeamReal get enough wins to seal their victory?!

Can't wait for the results!

 

[Stumpokapow]

what's well researched about it?

 

[megabytecr]

I hope Switch encourages local network multiplayer, with its portability is a no brainer.

Also what happened to that next gen vibration feedback into switch?

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

I worry a lot of people lose their minds when Nintendo do announces a $350 price point.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

People tried to do that with wiiu too. Scalpers returned them in droves.

True, but others said the Switch hype was several times greater than Wii U so I dunno. With the NES classic debacle still fresh in scalper's minds, it will make it more difficult for them to resist.

 

[Crazyorloco]

My F5 might not make it through the night.

lol This is going to be a long few hours. We're almost there...

 

[SuperSah]

To those who preordered at GAME - did you receive email confirmation?

I did not.

 

[Morfeo]

How is it possible that EuroGAF can sleep now with all the hype?

I am doing my best, but the hype is keeping me awake

 

[JB2448]

Wow this is ultra useful! I'm always a YouTube user when it comes to streams but the delay in it truly kills the surprises when I see twitter flooding with news I still haven't seen on the stream because it's 1 or 2 minutes delayed so will definitely check this out! Thank you!

Wanted to say thanks because I just installed that and tried with the AGDQ stream and it works wonderfully !!

Glad you were able to get some use out of it. I figured it's better to tell people about it now while they can still test it out on streams such as AGDQ in preparation for tonight.

If that happens they will not have my money.

I'm debating on a second one, if i can easily get them.

 

[Portugeezer]

Been out of the loop for a few days, Zelda and Mario launch window likelihood???

 

[brandonh83]

Luckily, this won't happen. There could be some bundle that high, though.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

FF14 needs to happen.

Amen if you agree.

7. I'm actually more nervous because expectations across the net are sooooooo high, I simply don't know if Nintendo will be able to deliver

Hoping for the best and hope this almost 2 years of mostly silence and light announcements are worth it.

 

[thecouncil]

I've seen set times where preorders disappear in less than 1 minute or the button to preorder doesn't light up before it's sold out. I dont know if I want that, personally.

 

[Nairume]

What is Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers supposed to be a port of? That weird HD Remix thing? They made new sprites for that just for the Switch?

That is such a hilarious rumor.

Capcom only ever changes the name if there is something significantly different. If it were just Super Turbo HD, it would just be that.

 

[CrisKre]

Nice. I would put the nintendo logo on the switch slip though.

 

[B_Bech]

Did the manager tell you that? When I called earlier they didn't give me a number.

They can't really give that information out, but yes.
