Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

The GameStop Official Twitter didn't do much to help their stores.

Went to 6 different ones today throughout Central Jersey and only one heard about the fact they were supposed to be getting a restock. None of them got their restock today despite the twitter saying expect them by today.

It sure as heck didnt.

I've been trying to find one for friends

Best game I have ever played and I didn't think it was possible for the game to live up to the hype even if it was great but it did.

Thats why i love it so much I did not think it could ever be like this?

They outdid themselves with it

The thing about Breath of the Wild is you're going to continue having "whoa, I can do that?" moments, even if you've put well over 50+ hours into the game. Some big, some small, but they all are met with a heh and a head nod.

I've been doing this ever since I've had the switch

Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

I think I've finally figured out why the Switch appeals to me so much. Over the last year I've bought a lot of games, many of which I played through just because only a few I really loved. I've had moments where I thought maybe this hobby wasn't for me anymore. DLC, constant bugs, patches, online stuff, etc. Don't get me wrong, I love my PS4. I love Uncharted 4, Hitman and others. But something was missing, I kept buying games trying to keep my attention. And nothing was working. I'd buy a game and be bored within days. Or lose interest. That's the worst feeling when I'm even trying to enjoy it.

I got a New 3DS for Xmas from the wife. I picked up a bunch of VC games and fell back in love with gaming. I also got a NES Classic which I adore to this day.

Along comes the Switch which I was really hot and cold on. Some days I couldn't wait. Others I wanted to cancel. Then I basically got it for free as documented pages back thanks for Zelda Master Edition. Playing Zelda ignited a spark in me. It's like when I played Zelda on the NES back when I was 9-10 years old. Exploring and doing it on my own, learning the world of Hyrule and just playing a game without all the "stuff". I haven't felt that way in a long time. Bloodborne was the closest on PS4, but this even eclipses that.

Nintendo has captured me as a fan after I swore them off. Gaming is fun right now for me all because of this system and Zelda. I love sitting on my couch not worrying about 4K, inputs, internet issues or the like. My wife can be watching her shows and I'm lost in Hyrule next to her. I take it to work and use it on my lunch hour. I have two portable machines that have my gaming history and life on them. New and old. I feel completely rejuvenated with gaming right now. Can't wait for Mario Kart and Mario Odyssey.

Great points! I've realized that a lot of mainstream big titles are feeling repetitive nowadays. The Long Dark and Astroneer caught my attention more (indie games), so I feel you. Why I need a Switch eventually, I'd be more likely to play those indie type games on there.

I'm on a hold from Assassin's Creed. Far Cry needs to adapt and keep me. I can't just buy the next game in a series and love it. They're not updating or changing enough and I don't have the time or attention span to want to care like I had in the past.

This is exactly where I am. With all the new technology everyone is focused on graphics. Games are filled with black and grey everywhere, online multiplayer is top priority, etc.

Nintendo just knows how to make fun games. On Xbox/PS4 i mostly have more fun with indie games than I do with the big titles. A few series excluded.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

Today was a community today for me, meaning I take a small group of students out of the classroom and let them pick somewhere in the community we want to ride public transit to and practice travel training, street safety, etc.

We ended up in this kind of strip mall kind of area, I guess you could call it. Each student picked a store they wanted to visit and one of the stores we visited was GameStop. We got there about 5 minutes before it opened, and there was a line of about 11 people. I was kind of curious about that. I guess I should have guessed it was Switch related but I didn't put 2 and 2 together. I was just sitting there like "what game is coming out on a Thursday that these people would wait for?"

So yeah, they were all in line for the Switch. Apparently, based on what I heard them saying, they went there every day this week in hopes to be told that new stock would be coming in, and today the employee opened the door and said, first thing without even needing to greet anyone or ask questions, "we have 5 units coming in today, sometime between 11 and 1." Immediately, all the people, who had been very friendly to each other before, turned defensive/aggressive and a debate started about who was there first and in what order. Like one said he was there first but was in his car, one girl said she had been there since 8:30 but had been sitting at the Starbucks next door, etc. It started getting aggro.

Anyway, sorry for the random story. I guess the struggle is real out there. Glad I pre-ordered.

People can be vicious...


I had pre ordered on the morning after the midnight reveal. Was at GameStop by 8am. The store opened at 10am. The store was allotted 35 at the time so once I saw 2 ppl get out of their car I hightailed it to the door and stood in the winter cold JUST TO GET A PREORDER.


On the midnight release I was given a number 3 in line for pick up. Still that store had 35 allocated and yet probably 50 non pre ordering ppl showed up to get a unit of which the store only had 4 extra.




The ppl who didn't pre order but came to the midnight release once they were told there were no more units they got agitated and loud mouthed


When I got in after being in the winter cold to pick up my paid off pre order the cashiers told us...be careful out there with your systems.


That night I checked ebay. 4 units were online already from my zip code.


shameful
