I just... can't! 'For all of Nintendo's faults I still love their games Here's the money for their vaults So... ...just hook it to my veins!' :p Just over six weeks to go!

Wow, even the Switch Pin Badges are going for around £20 now. I'm glad I decided to snap one up when I saw it for £12... ...yeah I know, even £12 for a pin badge but there's no way I'd get the chance to nab one otherwise (there'll never be any Switch events in Cornwall) so it's still worth it to me. But yeah... people pre-selling the console for up to double what it costs? The first wave on Nintendo Store isn't even sold out yet.

I'm so glad that this is coming out on the Switch as I'll be buying it on day 1 of the games release. Also it seems that Tantalus are in charge of the port, so it's in the best of hands.

I've just found a better, updated version of the image... ...slightly bigger than PSP cases, oh well, no bespoke storage for Switch games then.

I have a feeling that those placeholder boxes on display are slightly taller. I'm hoping the above comparison image is accurate.

It begins... http://store.nintendo.co.uk/nintendo-switch-console/nintendo-switch-with-neon-red-joy-con-neon-blue-joy-con-controllers/11396090.html?widget_id=505877 Red/Blue Joy-Con Switch now Out of Stock on Nintendo, ShopTo and probably other places too. Hopefully this isn't indicative of not enough stock but it does make you wonder, how long before the Grey Joy-Con Switch sells out? My pre-order for Nintendo Store is safe, as far as I know - it had better be considering what I've ordered from them! - and my back-up Shop-To pre-order is locked in, here's the message for that in case anyone is interested... Interesting times ahead...

Both, seeing as it's only really the Joy-Con controllers which are the differentiators. I went for the Grey console bundle. (or should that be charcoal?) But I also pre-ordered the Blue/Red set of Joy Cons.

Happy Birthday Flink! Here's a blood-soaked Witcher III cake for you... Just replace the "51" with "30" though of course... I hope you have an excellent day! I will finish The Witcher III in your honour... one day.

I've been doing some research on micro SDXC cards and it seems that 512GB cards aren't even commonplace in the UK yet and even when you can buy them, it seems that they are around £300 + which is more than the console. So I think the best option if you want to be sure of having at least some space at a semi-reasonable price would be this 200GB card for just over £50 surely? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222315739151?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Happy Birthday @bob! Here's a Chun-Li cosplay Guinea-Pig for you... Spinning Bird Kick! ---------------------------- Happy Birthday @Glen\-i! Here's a papercraft Kecleon in its unnatural environment... Blends right in... I hope you both have an excellent day!

There's no way that I'll be using a phone for voice chat. Nintendo will add an app for the console in time, if not for launch, there's a fair amount of backlash already, I'm sure I even saw that some third party manufacturers have made a headset or at least headphones with a line-in mic for the console, unless I imagined that? Actually, I probably did imagine that but still, you've have thought it was a no-brainer... unless there's a problem with connecting headsets, it shouldn't be an issue with bluetooth though. Oh well, it'll be a console compatible headset or no voice-chat for me then.

Contrary to what I said yesterday, ShopTo have put a new Pre-Order listing up with a price, with no up-front costs if you order within the next 6 hours or so, I'm assuming after that they will start taking deposits. I re-ordered mine using the new listing and then cancelled my original pre-order with an explanation in the box provided so that hopefully I won't lose my place in the queue if there is one. Anyway, here's the link... http://www.shopto.net/electronics/nintendo/NINTSW01-nintendo-switch-console You could just keep your original pre-order and it might be fine but I get the feeling that this will become the standard listing and the old one may be deleted, they should e-mail if this happens. : peace:

It seems the Switch will have its own Pro Controller so possibly not but we'll find out soon enough.

Hey there Ximikal, no trouble at all, I once was a lurker and only joined the forum when I was made a staff member, questions are welcome here. I too have pre-ordered with ShopTo as it happens, I've had nothing but good experiences with the company, I ordered my Wii U and PS4 from there plus a PS3, probably a 3DS or two as well with no problems. Having said that, I am looking to pre-order from another place if I get the chance, probably the Nintendo store but I think ShopTo are still a safe bet... the question is, will they be altering their pre-order listings significantly or just starting with fresh ones? That's what I'm thinking... hopefully they'll still honour exisiting pre-orders but you'd be wise to keep an eye on it just as I'm doing. : peace:

N-Europe Review : peace:

Absolutely loved every moment of the latest Easy Allies betting special, I watched it over breakfast this morning. Them dirty bets! The names! Those moments of confrontation! And of course, the greasiest of palms! :p R.I.P. Huber's Giants merch. -------------------------- Regarding the whole digital/physical games debate. While I understand the nature of the machine, having easy access to games in seconds, personally when I get a new console there's nothing better than building up that physical library of games, especially if the boxes for Switch titles turn out to be red cases, somewhere inbetween 3DS and Vita size and generally space-saving; perhaps similar to GameCube game boxes but more like the Japanese versions, always with the logo on the spine though along with coloured spines which continue the artwork or at the very least have full colour logos. Not that I'm specific about how I like my game boxes to be or anything though...

I'm sorry to hear that martinist. Best wishes to you and your family. Also, it's sad to hear about that Nicktendo, I only just saw the news story about that, must be unsettling to know it happened where you grew up. --------------------------------- My bad stuff is nothing really, just getting over a cold, annoying when you've got stuff to do but can't focus because of it, a bit better today though.

@Ashley if you could get them to tell us the Virtual Console launch line-up then that would be excellent. Other than that, just anything about the VC titles, especially GameCube games if you get to play them.

I got a refund for my already paid for pre-order. Still... sad about the game not getting made due to Microsoft's bullishness. It would be nice to see it re-tooled and released on the Switch or the PS4, let's hope it happens.

So... you can pre-order your Poochy amiibo with Free game now. You know you're only buying it for the amiibo really... ...so that you can pair it with your Yarn Yoshi amiibo and faithfully recreate those promotional animations. :p

Oh shi... I'm more concerned about this game being cancelled of course, awful news for Platinum Games... ...but I actually put money down for a pre-order on a two games for £80 deal (plus staff discount) effectively getting me the game for £32, I guess I'm going to have to put a call in tomorrow; or play a very long waiting game. I still hope this game has a future in some form or another though, it would be a great shame to see it scrapped.

£200 is also about the right price for it really. If it's less than £250 I'll be happy. £300 with a game and a Pro Controller.

I sure am! Sounds good! See you at 8PM.

Yes, I too discovered this, it's running buttery smooth for the first time in a while which resulted in me claiming my Plus games for this month, then I saw the Sale... Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary World Tour Red Dead Revolver Canis Canem Edit Psychonauts Dear Esther: Landmark Edition The Witcher III: Wild Hunt Season Pass ...and just over £37 later I left the store, after saying I wasn't going to buy any more games for a while. Ah well, I can't pretend that I'm not happy about it, some of those deals would have expired tomorrow, so thanks for persuading me to check the store.

I'll switch my PS4 on now for a bit, I probably have more game updates to download by now anyway.
