FalcoLombardi Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Are the Joycons getting condoms like the Wiimotes?
Ashley Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Not sure how reliable that is really given you can have the following variations for searching for the Wii U: preorder Nintendo Wii U preorder Wii U preorder Nintendo WiiU preorder WiiU pre-order Nintendo Wii U pre-order Wii U pre-order Nintendo WiiU pre-order WiiU pre order Nintendo Wii U pre order Wii U pre order Nintendo WiiU pre order WiiU
Pestneb Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Not sure how reliable that is really given you can have the following variations for searching for the Wii U: preorder Nintendo Wii U preorder Wii U preorder Nintendo WiiU preorder WiiU pre-order Nintendo Wii U pre-order Wii U pre-order Nintendo WiiU pre-order WiiU pre order Nintendo Wii U pre order Wii U pre order Nintendo WiiU pre order WiiU variations on Wii U fair enough, but the wording of pre-order is equally true of the switch. Why don't you check the 3 variations not checked?

There was no hype at all.
Ashley Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 variations on Wii U fair enough, but the wording of pre-order is equally true of the switch. Why don't you check the 3 variations not checked? Oh yeah obviously you'd need the same variations with Switch (and with and without "Nintendo"). And I don't check because it was Ronnie's point not mine and I'm busy with work
drahkon Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Are the Joycons getting condoms like the Wiimotes? Well, the name's basically set in stone: Joycondoms. Bundle them with real condoms (also named Joycondoms) and boom, best marketing ever. "You can now be safe while playing" (the portable aspect comes into play here, too...you know...video gaming while having sex...I want to see that ad) "Don't want to share your Switch with kids? Get your Joycondoms today." Edit: And don't forget the possibilities with that masturbation game 1-2 Switch... Going to call Nintendo now! Edited February 3, 2017 by drahkon
Ronnie Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 It was never meant to be 100% accurate, watertight and infallible, just to give a general indicator. But ok...
Retro_Link Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Yeah but an accessory is never gonna generate as much hype as a console release! Put Wii U Pre Order up against Wii Wheel Pre Order and see how that looks.
Ashley Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 It was never meant to be 100% accurate, watertight and infallible, just to give a general indicator. But ok... Well then frame that with some context rather than just posting an image It's facile anyway. As I pointed out there's variations in spelling, but also people may just search the console name rather than explicitly searching for pre-order. It's a metric, but in isolation it means diddly.

I think you're overthinking things. It's a brief little indicator of search engine interest compared to their last console, that's all. Yes there's margin for error, but in general interest in Switch is many times more than interest in Wii U at the time.

Well again if you just post a screenshot without context you can't blame people for making context. Stop being so Nintendo and use your words
Aneres11 Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Sorry to break up all this flirting but just thought i'd post to say myself and @Mike1988uk are off to the Manchester Switch event at 12:30 on the Friday! Excited!
Agent Gibbs Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Really tempted to go to the Manchester one, i just dont know how busy i'll be packing
Happenstance Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 I was tempted to go to the Birmingham one but I figured there wasn't much point as I've got it preordered regardless so why ruin the surprise.
Ronnie Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Yeah I'll give it a miss and just wait another couple of weeks
Aneres11 Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 I pondered this as it is so close now. But it's more to try out games that I'm on the fence with (Arms, snipper clips etc) so I can at least give them a proper hands on before I decide to get them or not when they're out.
dazzybee Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Yeah, the London is a week before launch. No point.
Mr-Paul Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 See I'm not planning on buying a Switch on launch, so thought I'll go along and try it out! I think I might avoid Zelda though as I'll be playing that on Wii U just 5 days later!
Serebii Posted February 3, 2017 Author Posted February 3, 2017 I think I might avoid Zelda though as I'll be playing that on Wii U just 5 days later! Good move, because when you start it on the Wii U you don't want to then realise what an awful mistake you've made skipping the Switch at launch :p
Mr-Paul Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Good move, because when you start it on the Wii U you don't want to then realise what an awful mistake you've made skipping the Switch at launch :p I'm sure it's not going to be much different between the two, it's a Wii U game after all! I'm waiting for a Switch price cut first, and some more games as I'm not interested in buying Mario Kart 8 again, and want to know more about Splatoon 2 first before it becomes a selling point! I definitely want one for Mario Odyssey though. (anyway, I still actually have a switch preorder for if it really blows me away!)
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 i didn't realise I was that bad! :p Well at least yours and Serebii's positivity are actually taking their toll on me, I'll be caving and picking a Switch up. Given that I don't use my WiiU or 3DS I may as well trade them in like you said. No doubt I'll still whinge about online, this is Nintendo after all, but maybe... just maybe, your positivity will rub off a little more and I'll not do it as much! Haha :p Surely theres something about the Switch that has you excited for you to cave...? If you dont mind me asking, what has you excited about the Switch? Just asking as its a bit hard to see why you'll actually trade all your stuff to get one. [Refering to your response to my countdown].

If you dont mind me asking, what has you excited about the Switch? Just asking as its a bit hard to see why you'll actually trade all your stuff to get one. [Refering to your response to my countdown]. I genuinely have zero excitement for it. I appreciate the hybrid nature of the device, but it doesn't excite me at all. The only reason I'll be getting it is because I don't want to miss out on Mario, Xenoblade 2 and most importantly any upcoming Metroid (if it bloody does). ...but I've no excitement.
Ashley Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Come on. Nintendo wouldn't have a console with no Metroid games on unless they wanted it to bomb.
Naar Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Metroid is one of the few Nintendo titles that could appeal to people who dislike the happy colours and childish theme's. So, like Ashley said, it would be really weird if they didnt come with a Switch Metroid. Then again, WiiU didnt have its own Metroid game, right?
