My walmart only got 12 system pre orders. The gamestop only got a few more then that. I was going to wait until wed to pre order, but they are expecting none by tomorrow. Sheesh. Im all for not having things rotting on a shelf, but come on! People being unable to find it day 1 just kills the hype instantly and Ensures they lose customers.

They should at least let pre-orders go uninterrupted until a realistic number that they Can Not fulfill is hit.

As of this post Gamestop has the $300 model for pre-order online.

I said fuck it and ordered one.

Nintendo literally milking its costumers:

When Bowser was throwing his hat in the trailer

all I could think of was Speedwagon from Jojo because he fights the same way.

Just came back from Gamestop to pre-order Switch and Zelda. The employee there said that they only got 36 Switch units per store and is expecting to sell out by 3-4pm "once the kids get out of school". Also, I attempted to reserve a Pro-controller but that store was only given 6. 6! WTF.

Gamestop is still accepting orders on The Switch $300.

It has been going for available to not available all day.

Edit: I Pre-ordered one but ill say one thing tho, if the online cost as much as PS+/XBL I won't be paying for it. I want the system for single player titles mostly anyway.

Glad I wasn't the only one

I wont pre order. I assume there will be a sick zelda bundle.... also

that bird is falco... Starfox Zero was so..... blaaaahhh that he switched franchises



Also honestly the presentation was bad. I liked Zelda, I liked Mario, but overall..... it has some fear of shovelware for me

[Tech614]

Gamestop and IGN both claiming the Wii U version(of Zelda) ran better, had less pop in and had better controls(mostly aiming) from their hands on experience with both.

The lulz keep on coming.

Edit: Giant Bomb reporting much of the same. I think it's safe to say it's a fact now. The Switch version has a slightly improved image at the cost of performance and runs worse.

THAT AIN'T FALCO! THAT AIN'T FALCO!

I need need a picture of Boswer with the Menacing things around him... preferably with that hat.

Maybe in gif form too because he is speedwagon now

Ya that's depressing, canceled my pre-order.

Rather wait and see at this point, Mind find a Wii-U ebay bundle worth grabbing lol. If the games are going to run like shit on it then what is the point.

THAT AIN'T FALCO! THAT AIN'T FALCO!

Listen


Smash is not a consistent job... only comes out once a console generation

Needs a new franchise to dip his wings into

He seems great in Zelda, i can already tell I will enjoy his character... mostly because he is a bird person and they are always fun in RPGs

Yeah he and the red Zora dude look dope. Honestly the BotW trailer is one of the best trailers I've seen in awhile. Other than Last of Us Part II.

It's from their videos and live streams, so no I'm not going to bother trying to find time stamps for you. You can either search the VoDs yourself or take mine and other peoples words for it.

Thanks, hopefully they'll put all the stuff into articles soon.

Also seems there is no headphone jack on The Switch at all.
