Very true! Though in my experience they hold those for launch. Wait until all the regular stock is gone and then they magically have some units available in bundles that are 2 to 3 times as expensive due to all the junk they have included. Everything is always MSRP too, no discounts to be found.

You've traded Karen for an old flame. For shame.

Did you mean tomorrow night? Otherwise you're fine.
This is what im hoping for. I can imagine 12 people playing in the same game of mario kart 8 at the same time at my universities computer and video game society (4 in split screen on the tv and the rest on switches in handheld mode). It would beat having to take turns playing on one tv on the wii u version of mario kart 8.

The "...and chill" part doesn't really work if you're actively interested in what's on screen.
If it's the girl from his profile pic, I think that Nintendo can wait, just this once.
Tell her your busy lol, she waited that long make her wait another night haha

I would probably avoid the internet all together including GAF. You just know there's gonna be like 100 threads for everything that gets announced.
I need that too, no way im gonna watch it at 5AM rotfl.

Someone asked this yesterday in the last thread. I didn't get it then and I still don't understand now. What would a spoiler-free thread for a single event even look like?
I don't have mobile internet, I'm poor :c

Apparently, this game has been canceled for 3DS and moved straight to Switch. Get ready for the official reveal in 38 hours
I really miss Iwata and his Nintendo Directs. This one was a great parody.
Simmons' Iwata impression was spot on.

She already has a Switch anyway.

Target updated with $299 pricepoint.
Target updated with $299 pricepoint.
I mean, I don't go into work until 10pm tonight but I can run that Upc through our system and see if it's legit.
That said any bored idiot on the sales floor can fuck with prices and item names in their own store. Good way to get a coaching though.
I guess a post that just gets updated with a direct link to the event's archive on YouTube, like what people do for e3. A whole thread though? Not sure what that would be lol
Oh i don't know, maybe like a thread where people who can't watch it at 5am can click on a link without going to the Nintendo youtube page and see all the single videos of all the announcements?

Really expecting a doozy of a 3rd act.
This is a corporate reveal of a product, friends.

This seems realistic. $249 is desperation mode.
I used to play 8 players Mario Kart DD on a single screen 13 years ago!

My TV had a PAP feature and I had the LAN cable. A friend brought his GC. Good times. Since then online took over and local MP games got rare.
Switch first reveal video insisted several times on it. Let's hope we'll say in few hours LAN is back in force.

If you want to remain spoiler-free, don't come to GAF or other gaming sites until you watch the presentation.
I failed you my dear Karen Switch u.u, still maybe I have some time left in the morning, I just suck at time zones, adding-sustracting hours.

other than it being just a good price point what makes it desperation?

Agreed, playing with actual friends in person is 100% better than random stranger online.
Hell, in person can make Mario Party 10 fun. That says something.

Someone posted it earlier, it shows only the video, nothing else. Hope it helps!
EDIT. Just bookmark it or whatevs and then just go straight to there

Right. I mentioned our E3 spoiler-free/archive thread yesterday as a comparison, but that makes very little sense here. The utility there is having a one-stop shop for the dozens of different events. When does this company have a presser? Oh, it's started? Is there a way to watch from the beginning? If it's over is there a better feed for the recorded footage? There's a lot to keep track of and I understand how one thread that covers everything can be useful.
Here it sounds like people want a sticky or something that will be locked (because there's no need to reply to it) that consists of one YouTube link.
Why not just bookmark the youtube live link? You can watch it from the beginning when its done or rewind.

Just seems very low for a new console, regardless of specs. Desperation is too strong a word. Incredibly aggressive is more accurate.

There's already a link...just leave this open in your browser.

Why would you need a whole thread for that?
Oh I guess they got desperate with Wii
I wish, but no, she's not in the same league as Karen, not even close lmao

I'm surprised that so many people are now buying into these prices at Target and Wal-mart. We have a large number of rumors, insiders, and other retailers that all seem to confirm $249 as the default price. These two examples are definitely anomalies. Time will tell if they're just pricing errors or alternate SKU's.
One SKU at $249 is the hill I'll die on.
