Went ahead and placed some preorders, will see if it's going to be worth either keeping or flipping. Can always cancel

The Switch looks like an overpriced pile of shit, but Breath of the Wild looks pretty fucking awesome.

ordered the gay neon one from best buy for in store pickup, will probably cancel but placeholder in case nintendo says something amazing in the next 30 days

I wouldn't order more than 1 from best buy or amazon, they have a history of cancelling orders from people who order too much of 1 thing

My brother got banned from Best Buy for buying too many Seinfeld DVDs and reselling them for huge profits.

So evidently Zelda will be able to play for 3 hours on a full charge

I'd have been okay with $299 if it came with a game or something. But that much for the system itself is dumb as shit.

I'm thinking I'm going to pass until a better package comes along.

Yeah it's like the 3DS it'll probably price drop by the end of the year or so. Not worth buying now especially with no good games other than Zelda and can just wait on that/buy on Wii U/play on emulator.

Ugh that whole presentation was terrible. You would think a company that big could give a better presentation instead of these clowns.

But that Zelda music! <3

I suspect that mid year or end year they'll announce a bundle with a game, everyone will be pissed and early adopters will get a free game or something too.

Is that sandwich eating thing real?

Anyways Nintendo is fucking retarded. They aren't staying relevant at all. I've asked several kids what they think about some of Nintendos IPs like Mario, donkey kong, samus, they either don't know who they are or don't really care.

They need to knock it off with these garbage consoles and release games for other consoles and tablets / phones or they are going to die. Not bullshit Mario run games but real tablet games. I'm not a fan of gaming on mobile but id buy Mario Kart, metroid, etc for my ps4 in an instant. They aren't going to bring kids into the fold unless they get their shit on the only device they care about, their phone, and adults are too choosy with their money to buy some underpowered gimmicky bullshit like this thing.

Yeah, we are probably watching the death of Nintendo.

Slow, painful, and sad.

I think it would have been a success at $199 to play Nintendo I.P's and if it could have been compatible with 3ds games. Would have been a nice portable unit and a little party device for home. As it is now I have zero interest. Sad watching the company that I dedicated a good portion of my childhood gaming with die slowly.

$200 was what this needed to be a success. $250 was what this needed to not be just a mistake. $300 is a joke and those peripheral prices are even more insane than the retail cost.

Nintendo is so amateur I'm betting they were all sitting around the board room trying to price it and someone had the bright idea of just increasing all the prices of the parts so the bundle seemed like a better deal. Then they all called Sudo51san and asked him to bring his pedo porn collection and leather jackets over for a "great success" party.
