Shorty

Yeah I figured, hence why I made a note, just like they did, of saying "console multiplayer" :p It would always be PC first since it's developed on that platform.

Getting console multiplayer on Stardew Valley first is a really significant point of note to me. It means Nintendo have gone out of their way to secure an exclusive agreement with the developer, which whilst not the greatest sign for the industry in general, is a pointer that they're getting a bit more up to date in terms of what it takes to compete.

Maybe I will be playing on launch day after all! Thanks to Nintendo's optimistic delivery process. If something holds it up, I might not get it til Monday. Which seems dumb when I could instead be showing up to a store to pick one up on what is essentially Thursday night.

Pretty disappointed nothing dispatched yesterday. I guess they really don't want to break street date, which is stupid because so many people have one already, and Zelda leaked for the Wii U. Time to just get it out there and get that buzz going!

Considering its launching without VC, what games are you expecting to download...?

Ahh, just got an email from Nintendo and got my hopes way up but it turned out to be just a marketing email

Switch at Nintendo, Zelda at Simply Games and a backup Zelda on Amazon and nothing has dispatched yet. mild first world panic

^ Same here, but I did pre-order immediately when it was available so hoping for that to change soon! If Nintendo dispatch today, isn't there a chance of getting it tomorrow?? Edit: Just seen the exact 'gaf post you got that from @Serebii :p

Gaming is my main interest and hobby, and Nintendo one of my oldest loves. If I don't splash out on that, what am I even working all these hours of my life for? :p

You thought you'd escaped Amazon by going to GAME?? Simply Games or Shopto if you want your games on or before release.

I find fishing easy now, with a better rod, the cork bobber is my fav, maxed out my skill and regular bait it goes just fine.

I'm expecting or very much hoping that Nintendo will get me the system well before launch day! I'm only getting Zelda and no extras which I'm perfectly happy with. Zelda is coming from a different place so I'm really hoping they'll both arrive same day! In a week or so I'll get a memory card and Snipperclips but other than that, I feel no urge to own anything else in a hurry (and that's ok!) You should really see a doctor instead of treating yourself! Ayyyy (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

The next version of the OS will allow use of External HDDs. So best bet is probably just wait a bit for that. Otherwise the typical suggestion is to get one of these: http://www.argos.co.uk/product/2489935 And pry it out of the enclosure.

Do we need to pick ourselves up a hefty SD card to go with our new Switch if we don't have one spare?

Same here! Someone break down what we're getting? I'm seeing a confusing number of subtitles being thrown around.

Game over man, game over

Just don't be surprised if those price drops never happen....

You know Bomberman is full price right Instead, check out Snipperclips

Or the Snes?

Guysss, this is the good stuff thread, stop making me feel all these feels.

Sorry if I'm really oversimplifying but... if I can connect this to my TV and it outputs at 720-1080p, and I use a controller, what's the difference to the PS4 (for example) at that point (in terms of what makes it a console)?

Is Snipperclips going to be available to download directly on the system at or around launch? Going away for a couple of days in 2 weeks and this would be perfect to take with.

Yeah I'm not really going to play it on my lunch :p Zelda is an awesome, personal, single-player experience for me that I'll close myself off from the world to enjoy.

You can all be grumpy while I sit and play Zelda on my shiny Switch on my lunch break Owning a Switch isn't going to take away from my existing gaming experience any. I still have the PS4. I can't wait to get my hands on one. How well Nintendo does with it doesn't really matter to me anymore.

Absolutely seamless mate nobody will ever notice
