Posted December 22, 2017 So I want to get my nephews a Nintendo shop card for their new switch; but it appears they are available anywhere - game, online, Nintendo themselves; which is bonkers to me... Am I missing something or have they really stopped doing them? Is there an alternative? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Mum was able to pick some up for me from WH Smiths so if there's one near you it's worth checking there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am I missing something or have they really stopped doing them? Is there an alternative? The absence of eShop cards online is very weird indeed. I see them all the time in shops. As already mentioned, WHSmiths is usually a safe bet, as is Wilko, always loads of them in there too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 23, 2017 Does the pro controller's price ever goes bellow 59,99? Thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a good idea to follow it on a price checker like PriceSpy or idealo to get notifications when it does drop, and you can see price history too. I’ve still not bought a Pro Controller for the Switch, primarily because of the price but also because I genuinely get on fine with the Joy-Con grip, it’s actually super comfy for me. If the Pro Controller ever gets a really good deal I’d probably get one though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 23, 2017 Does the pro controller's price ever goes bellow 59,99? ThxIt’s £53.85 here. A little cheaper https://www.base.com/buy/product/pro-controller-nintendo-switch/dgc-proconns.htmSent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Thx guys. I will probably go for this one (53,85) if my nephew can get it. I need another controller, so when I get Mario Kart three of us can play it (I was thinking abount second joy con, because of arms, but I will go for pro controller as I am the one who play's it 90% of the time). So, if I get it, only Xenoblade 2 is left for my start with the Switch (I've got the 200GB sd card, Mario Odisey, Mario+Rabbids). After that Mario Kart and Splatoon are coming.... (hope in february). Thx again Edited December 23, 2017 by Kounan 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 23, 2017 A simple Christmas message or are they teasing BD ( new game or ports ) on the Switch? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 23, 2017 Octopath Traveller basically is Bravely Third in everything but name though. I'm pretty sure it's just a Christmas message, for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Considering that I just bought digital copies of BD and BS on 3DS a few weeks ago during the eShop Black Friday sale, I think it’s safe to say that we’re getting a Bravely HD Collection for Xmas on Switch...

It was announced on the Nintendo site, in the news section of your Switch, and reported on various websites. If you've actually taken a look in the E-shop you could've seen loads of games on offer. Perhaps the offers don't interest you, but it should've been obvious there was a sale going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ever since you've changed your avatar, I can't stop reading everything you post in the voice of Nia from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 now. Please tell me I'm not the only one... @Hero-of-Time @Kaepora_Gaebora? So for me the above post was something like... "This 'as bin goin' on for days now. It was annownced on the Nintehndoh site, in the news section of yor Switch, and repourted on various web-sights. If you've actually tayken a look in the Ey-shop you could've sin loads've games on offer. Perhaps the offers don't intrest you, but it should've bin obvious there was a sale goin' on." I'm totally fine with this. Also, there seem to be a good few games on sale currently but I probably won't buy too many, I would have bought Axiom Verge already but I want that physical edition. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I only vaguely know what you're talking about, since to me, Nia sounds like this: Spoiler It's funny, rewatching this cutscene, and now I finally know what that secret is they mention. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 28, 2017 Quote Tatsumi Kimishima, president of Nintendo, said on Wednesday, "We would like to be over 20 million units" about the annual sales volume of the "Nintendo switch" of the new-type home game machine "Fiscal Year 2018" in response to the interview by the Kyoto Shimbun. Quote We anticipate selling 14 million units in FY 2017 and are planning to accelerate the momentum of popularization by launching software that enables new ways of playing. Quote President Kimishima stressed that "I want to ship more than that" for FY 2018. It also clarified the policy to enrich the download contents to allow the purchased software to be played for a long time. Pokemon for Q4 2018 it is then!

Posted December 28, 2017 I might have been skeptical about the Switch at first but that's all in the past now. I My Switch!. I've had it about 4 weeks now and it's been a ton of fun. The versatility of it is just great it's not the gimmick i thought it was it works!. Home version and portable version in one on anything Switch I now see the benefit it offers. One thing i love about this is being able suspend and resume just like closing the 3DS. Also the UI is pretty slick, very responsive and the little noises it makes make it feel much more Nintendo (maybe its just me). A lot of great games to play but Splatoon has taken up most of my time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
