Agent Gibbs Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I think Nintendo UK are starting processing. They just, separately for some reason, began the financial process for either the Guardian amiibo, or the carry case. Both of which are in larger orders, strangely. I got an email on Friday/Saturday saying my order was processing from Nintendo, and its sat at processing in the account screen since Rather irritatingly with an estimated Dispatch of the 3rd March, err no you best get it to me by the 3rd! As for the Hybrid debate i missed out on: the Switch is a Handheld and god damn it i'll treat it like every other handheld i own; i will sit in front of the TV plugged into the mains playing it like its actually a home console! what a time to be alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Now Zelda is processing. However, GAME have cancelled my girlfriend's preorder and she is absolutely livid. They don't explain why, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon started cancelling those last week due to not having the enough allocation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She ordered Zelda standard on NUK IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aneres11 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Just means that you are further down the preorder queue. Unfortunately paying early doesnt bump you up the list. I knew it wouldn't but it makes me believe I then have a reason to moan when others start being shipped haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtMediocre Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The store I've pre-ordered from have their "estimated" delivery date for the Switch consoles set to the 8th of march, but the store clerk assured me that it would be there on time when I pre-ordered the console. I was the 2nd person to pre-order, and I have friday off work just to play Switch, so they better deliver. I went there last week to see if there was any updates, but it looked like they still couldnt guarantee with a 100% safety that the console would be there on the 3rd. Jesus, if it isn't, I'll flip. I've just pre-ordered a Neon Switch and Zelda, but I guess I'll pick up an official carrying case as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serebii Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Am I the only one disappointed that Nintendo UK's Store no longer says "Okey-dokey" on the dispatch e-mails? I think Shopto still have them for preorder for launch if she wants to try there. http://www.shopto.net/nintendo/switch/SWHW01-nintendo-switch-grey-console Thanks.

Jamba Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 A title that just popped into my head that could have a very broad appeal would be Elite Dangerous. The potential for a great control scheme could be there as an option with motion controls. The idea of being able to play that portably would probably end my life. Do people think it would be possible on the hardware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 No idea if it would be feasible on the Switch from a technical POV, but Elite Dangerous would be absolutely incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) ^ Same here, but I did pre-order immediately when it was available so hoping for that to change soon! If Nintendo dispatch today, isn't there a chance of getting it tomorrow??

Pestneb Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 It doesn't, but Nintendo have previously stated it's a home console not a handheld - so if finger pointing needs to be made it should really be at them. I think it was silly of them to fall down on either side of the debate tbh. They did it to protect the 3ds, pure and simple. It is their main income for now, when switch income surpasses 3ds income I imagine they'll stop insisting that it is a home console! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aneres11 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Just got a call from GAME, my Switch is in store! Well I do hope you told them you can come and collect it immediately? And that you know you shouldn't have to have the burden but on this occasion you'll make an exception and pop in?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
