Caaaalled it....I'm so smaaaaarttt

 

[Derphoof]

how is this thing not 200 with a 250 game bundle

Guess Nintendo wants to keep gouging their customer base.

The PS Vita and 3DS still retail at $200.

You think a Hybrid system is going to launch at $200?

Don't be silly.

 

[MuchoMalo]

Definitely not outselling Wii U lol

 

[120v]

anybody expecting less in 2017 was delusional. new hardware, you'll have to flip a coin

though i have to say i was buying into the $250 talk for awhile

 

[Devilgunman]

I hit the spot.

 

[Bold One]

How much?

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

For that price it doesn't look good.
Really needed to be $249 at the most.
Going against the already established Xbone and PS4 is not going to be easy! Especially for people burnt by the WiiU.

 

[Ryuuga]

Not gonna sell at that price in Canada.

Yeah once I heard the price I immediately hopped off the fence over into "wait for discount"

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

300, yup. I'll get that.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Sony has proven that no one cares if online is paid, if Microsoft hadn't made it clear before then.

Nintendo is different. Family friendly approachable games. Putting up a paywall for shit like smash, mk, and pokemon seems dumb.

 

[Gator86]

Lmao good job Nintendo, you idiots. People are hype to pay $300 for dated-ass hardware.

 

[facetheslayer92]

Called it. Bad price imo.

 

[SpikedGunner]

For me, I'll pass on 300, but I imagine that's a good price for most people.

 

[Alienous]

lol at $50 making the difference between "must-buy" and "DOA" for most people

$300 puts it in direct competition with the PS4 and Xbox One. It makes it a tougher sell.

 

[Jb]

I never really believed in $250 for a device that could play console games on the go.
If the lineup is good I'm ok with $300, but I don't know that the 3DS public will be.

 

[RoninChaos]

Nope.

 

[onemanasylum]

Sony has proven that no one cares if online is paid, if Microsoft hadn't made it clear before then.

Nintendo is not sony...they are worlds apart, sony has all the big third parties, and nintendos online history is terrible.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Nintendo $witch

 

[iBlue]

DAT fuckibg price

 

[Mithos]

No, Nope, Uh-Uh!

 

[GRW810]

It's going to be £250 in UK isn't it.

Out of my price range, especially when needing BotW and a pro controller.

 

[ViolentP]

Nintendo finally trying to compete against Sony and Microsoft. Could be a good first step in the right direction.

 

[SpiceMelange]

He weirdly said $299 in "North America" I thought. I'd be shocked if that was the case, but I didn't see anything about other currencies

$299 denotes USD, 299$ is CAN. That thing is going to be 400$ in Canada, making it more expensive than Xbone or PS4. DOA.

 

[Sanke__]

300 is ok if they can have $250 bundles available by holiday 2017

Otherwise they gonna get decimated by PS4 and xbone

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

$350 including online service. I called $350. With tax this is pushing too close to $400.

 

[Mato]

If that translates to 300 euro then that is too high.

 

[bananafactory]

$400 in Canada is not very good. Gonna need to get some great buzz going to sell outside the hardcore at that price

 

[Anth0ny]

BOMBA

$299 is way too much.

Bookmark this post.

 

[toastyToast]

Not unexpected honestly

 

[Deleted member 471617]

WOW!!! Predicted $300 and I can't believe that Nintendo actually went that high. Was hoping for $200 to get me back into Nintendo. Oh well. Maybe next gen.

 

[CMojicaAce]

It's what I expected. I'll wait for $199 tbh since I hardly played my Wii U.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

They crammed so much into one small device. $300 seems fine to me

 

[Codeblue]

LOL JOKE POST? Nintendo's online service is RIDICULOUSLY BAD. You don't buy Nintendo consoles to play online. The community is always so small that it's not worth charging for it. Not sure WTF was Nintendo thinking here other than "How can we inflate the price even more?".

I don't know dude. I don't pay for online gaming, but I assume they aren't going to provide Wii U tier service for a monthly fee.

 

[Suburban Thug]

Really dumb move when you consider what PS4 and XBO offer. Then factor in paid online which will most likely be a substandard service.

 

[op_ivy]

Damn.

 

[walking fiend]

Sharing the joy at $299 + paid online

 

[Branduil]

Will wait for them to drop the price again.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

That and paid online equals good fucking luck Nintendo.

 

[LegoArmo]

It's going to be £250 in UK isn't it.

Out of my price range, especially when needing BotW and a pro controller.

Hah, no, I wish. That would basically be a straight currency conversion.

I reckon £280 and that's too much for me.

 

[linkandzelda]

Completely expected.

 

[RedAssedApe]

its basically going to be more expensive than ps4 and xbone at launch or soon there after

 

[Ryuuga]

Ultimately the software will sway me.

 

[TuXx]

$299 same price point as Wii U. Nintendo has clearly learned from their mistakes

 

[Unknown?]

Could we wait before it's finished before claiming doa?

 

[Fox Mulder]

lol at $50 making the difference between "must-buy" and "DOA" for most people

I'm not paying $300+ with tax for a Nintendo console. It's a secondary console only for their games to me.

 

[Whompa02]

$300, software lacking, 6 hours TOP battery, paid online

 

[katsubento]

Too high for me. Enjoy.

 

[Yaranaika]

$400+tax CAD

DOA

Not buying at launch, sorry.

 

[clo1_2000]

Going to Starbucks which is next to my GS by 7:00 a.m. to get my pre-order in. $50 difference from my dream price isn't enough to sway me.

 

[R3TRO]

300 bucks for a Nintendo console is a bit high.
