ReZourceman Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 How have people not known to not order from GAME? They've been shite for a decade. Damn son - When did you preorder? And what time was it set to dispatch today?? Im still processing. I pre-ordered it immediately when you were able to. I received the dispatch confirmation right before I posted. Would love to get it before Friday as I'm out filming YewTewbz all evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Despite not picking a Switch up, I was still looking forward to trying one out as my mate was getting one. Turns out, like Serebii's girlfriend, his order also got cancelled by game. He phoned them up and it took an hour to get through to someone only for them to tell him that they've got no idea why orders have been randomly getting cancelled and that they now couldn't confirm a Switch for him come release day. He told them to shove their order and hung up. I think Shopto and the Game Collection have some left for Day 1 delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Despite not picking a Switch up, I was still looking forward to trying one out as my mate was getting one.

He told them to shove their order and hung up. You mean the place where people were 'sure' they had an order because they put £50 down? Or just the online side of it? Amazon is saying "will dispatch March 2nd" and "arriving March 3rd" so as predicted, a launch day delivery.

Esequiel Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Considering its launching without VC, what games are you expecting to download...? I meant eventually 😝😝😝 I'm late to the party lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liger05 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I actually feel like France will be tougher initially!Looking on amazon as an example, the Wii U BotW is outselling the switch version. Possibly stronger Wii U support = weaker switch support - at launch at least... amazon.co.uk the switch version is no.2, wii u version...29. vs france, wii u version no.2, switch version no.3 I suppose France is probably better stocked than the UK for the very reason that the Wii U did better here... was France not the strongest region in the EU for the Wii U? They expect strong sales in France : https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.gamepur.com/news/25903-nintendo-switch-vs-wii-pre-order-figures-same-france-report.html%3Famp Nintendo France has high expectations for Nintendo Switch, and their general manager M. Lavoue made no secret of this when recently talking for an interview with guys at Gamekult. According to Lavoue, sales will be much higher in comparison with Wii U. By what measure? Have a look at the numbers below. Based on Nintendo France report, in the European country in 2017 Nintendo Switch will sell for over 800,000 units, which is the same achievement Wii U reached in its entire lifetime. Upon day one, 95,000 Switch units will be sold, with 100% The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild conversion rate. Pre-orders are said to be aligned with Wii figures.

Fused King Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I wish you guys all the best with the new Zelda! Can't believe I won't be picking it up at launch. A ZELDA game! But I must first work through many other things in life, and other games as well. I'll have to see how long I can hold out:bouncy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Pretty disappointed nothing dispatched yesterday. I guess they really don't want to break street date, which is stupid because so many people have one already, and Zelda leaked for the Wii U. Time to just get it out there and get that buzz going!

Serebii Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 I'm just really concerned it won't ship today and thus I'd get it Saturday. Thing is, they've already earmarked my Zelda money so I can't cancel that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekunando Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 How have people not known to not order from GAME? They've been shite for a decade. Normally, I'd perhaps have avoided GAME too but I ordered my Switch from them for a number of reasons and have just received an email to say my order is being packed GAME were decent enough to honour a mispriced 1TB PS4 Slim bundle for £179.99 towards the end of last year with Uncharted 4, Drive Club and The Last of Us included so that restored a little faith and bagged me a few reward points to spend on a future purchase When I ordered the Switch, GAME had a bundle with Breath of the Wild for £319.99 which was a little less than what I would have paid elsewhere. I'm feeling fairly confident I'll receive the console on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may just cancel and go to the midnight launch :/ Instead of cancelling, keep it and resell it, or return it? Did you see the gaf post saying that a controller ordered from NUK yesterday has a scheduled delivery for today at 3pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
