Posted February 3, 2017 I have a horrible feeling Nintendo won't show the OS in action before release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Yes the game is just a few quid more expensive at retail, there is no subscription service. So people who buy more games and therefore use the online system more, will pay more towards it. That doesn't necessarily follow though. If I bought MK8, SSB4, splatoon and each had £5 on it to cover online. I play for 20 hours on each game. £15 60 hours Or if I bought splatoon, paid £5 and played it for 60 hours... £5 for 60 hours.... so do they adjust to £1.5 for the three game player.... or to £15 top up to cover the 1 game player....

Posted February 3, 2017 Are the Joycons getting condoms like the Wiimotes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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!

Posted February 3, 2017 It was never meant to be 100% accurate, watertight and infallible, just to give a general indicator. But ok... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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.

Posted February 3, 2017 Well i'm sold. Where do i cash in all this buzz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 3, 2017 Really tempted to go to the Manchester one, i just dont know how busy i'll be packing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 3, 2017 Yeah I'll give it a miss and just wait another couple of weeks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 3, 2017 Yeah, the London is a week before launch. No point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
