liger05 Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Rather they did a direct than some shitty unboxing with those Jokers. http://gonintendo.com/stories/274527...ste-for-switch Matt Thorson✔ @MattThorson Celeste is coming to Nintendo Switch in 2017! See you on the mountain http://www.celestegame.com Trailer: Shame no Dpad means playing games like this in handheld mode is out of the question. Edited February 22, 2017 by liger05
Aneres11 Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 In all seriousness though, when the hell are we getting a Direct?! Surely there's got to be one coming up presumably just after launch now?!
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Damn that @Aneres11 with that kickass signature one-upping my shitty one grrr.
Aneres11 Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Damn that @Aneres11 with that kickass signature one-upping my shitty one grrr. Haha I was very bored during the Brits this evening so decided to throw it together. I don't even really like it all that much (my Res one was ma fave) but as hype builds I felt the urge!

Too late now. There won't be a direct. We are in the lucky position of not knowing what to expect. Thanks Nintendo.

I won't be buying that game until I have the pro controller. Playing this without a D-Pad is a problem.
nekunando Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Should I be at all concerned that payment for a cancelled Switch order is still showing as 'pending' on my Paypal account? I originally ordered a Neon Switch from GAME before changing it to a Breath of the Wild bundle a few days later due to a discount but while the GAME website shows the original order as being cancelled, both transactions are pending on Paypal.

Probably not but just contact PayPal to make sure.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) 8 Days Till Switch! ---- Just paid for my Switch, Zelda bonus edition and 1-2 Switch ^^ Edited February 23, 2017 by King_V
Clownferret Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 I have an appointment at Game on Friday 11am to go through my preorder and payment. My office is just round the corner so I can pick up at 9am on launch day, but part of me is tempted to go to the midnight launch.
Kav Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) I can't make the midnight launch so I'm heading over to GAME after dropping the kids off at school that morning. Friday and the week after off for me! Edited February 23, 2017 by Kav
Phube Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 What's everyone's days off quota for Switch? I've only booked the Friday off. Anyone not even taking the day off, or going all in with a week off?

Anyone not even taking the day off, or going all in with a week off? Friday just to take delivery. I'm looking forward to commuting to work with the switch in my hand.
Serebii Posted February 23, 2017 Author Posted February 23, 2017 Seen a fair few Switch adverts on TV now. Primetime adverts, even during things like Family Guy. Impressive. Nintendo throwing around the marketing money
Happenstance Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 I have Thursday and Friday off but that's just because I wasn't working anyway.

Mike Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 As a teacher, taking days off isn't really a thing for me, but luckily I am actually owed a day in lieu as a thank you for going on a week-long residential trip with the Year 6s last September. Needless to say, I have the 3rd booked off now!
ArtMediocre Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 I've taken friday off. Going to say goodbye to the missus when she leaves for work at seven, and then I'm gonna have a good breakfast and clear some space for the Switch, and then I'm heading over to the store next door when it opens at 9AM. After that, it'll be all drooling over the new toy, as well as going full Zelda mode the rest of the day/weekend.
Ronnie Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Switch hardware previews should be appearing online at 2pm today.
Shorty Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 I'm getting it delivered to work. Didn't really occur to me that it's a Friday, if it doesn't arrive I won't get it til Monday! Urrgh, why does the Nintendo Account user ID automatically make the first letter lowercase? It annoys me... The user ID doesn't really matter though right, that's just for logging in like an email address. Beyond that you have your nickname, which can have capitals.
Sheikah Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 I'm getting it delivered to work. Didn't really occur to me that it's a Friday, if it doesn't arrive I won't get it til Monday! The user ID doesn't really matter though right, that's just for logging in like an email address. Beyond that you have your nickname, which can have capitals. But how will you add friends if there aren't friend codes now? I would have thought the ID is the thing to search for people given it is unique for each person. Unless friend codes will still be a thing, which would be unmitigatedly shit.
Shorty Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Yeah I suppose you are right, that's how you will add one another, but once added, you will appear in their friends list using your nickname I assume, which is decent. I really like the nickname method, similar to how Blizzard does it, you get to have any name you like. Presumably if there's two of you you get assigned a number to separate you...
Aneres11 Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Seen a fair few Switch adverts on TV now. Primetime adverts, even during things like Family Guy. Impressive. Nintendo throwing around the marketing money There was an advert last night during the Brits but it was for 1 2 Switch and was pretty terrible. Why they didn't show Zelda is beyond me.
Londragon Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Bit of good news for me today. Fretting over how top get a Switch within a reasonable price for a long time, shipping from Play Asia was looking good, but missed out on the pre-orders, which must have lasted for all of 10 minutes. Went to a new computer game shop today, and recognised one of the staff who worked in an old CG shop during the Wii days. I've now secured a pre-order for a Japanese model (so the AC adapter plug is no problem), to pick up in store next Friday. Now, my fretting has stopped and I'm all aboard the Hype Train. Except I have to wait for Zelda: BOTW to be shipped from Base.com, cheaper there due to taxes being lopped off, so I'm hoping Snipperclips comes out sooner rather than later in March.
