Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

I dont think you have to play all of them, but I think you have to play a certain number of games before the whole game unlocks. I think it was 5 if I remember correctly.

Yeah, just found it online and it's 4 games you have to play. I don't understand the point of that, but whatever.

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

There's a chance of a Mario Kart 8 bundle being announced in the upcoming Direct.

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

I wonder how much they will charge for a game like pay day 2 at this point.

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

Arms is coming out a few days after E3 on June 16th. Splatoon 2 is being released on July 21st. Really hoping for that MK8 Switch bundle for $300 to be true. Can buy that, finally have the console and then sell MK8 to lessen the cost. Woohoo!!!

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

I'll admit it.... that direct was expected and it was utter poo poo stank

I'll be happy with just Mario kart 8 deluxe

E3 hopefully will be better

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

It seems so simple. Get virtual console going. Get your classics onto this thing. If they announced yesterday that VC was coming and my library carried over I'd probably start thinking about picking this up to replace my 3ds. Instead we get "third party support" with games like monopoly and payday.

A Switch charging base could solve a few problems, here is one that is being crowdsourced

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

Are there any stores you all have seen with a playable demo of the Switch?

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

Were you thinking "the only thing the Switch is missing are neon yellow joycons?" No? Well too bad, you're getting them.

I can see the convenience in having it attached, though it does lose some of the sleekness. The kickstand actually leans back so it isnt basically standing straight up when in tabletop which is nice.

But since we have one of these that we take with us when travelling for phones and tablets, perfectly convenient to use with the switch as well especially since it has such a large capacity and can charge 3 items at once.

Nintendo Switch Becomes the Fastest-Selling Video Game System in Nintendo History

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nintendo Switch, the new home gaming system that people can also take on the go, has sold faster in its launch month than any other video game system in Nintendo history. The Nintendo Switch system sold more than 906,000 units in March, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. That makes Nintendo Switch one of the fastest-selling video game systems of all time. Notably, this sales surge was accomplished in a nontraditional month for a console launch.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game sold over 1.3 million units*. That total includes more than 925,000 units sold for Nintendo Switch and nearly 460,000 units sold for the Wii U console. That means that Nintendo sold more of this game for Nintendo Switch than it sold Nintendo Switch systems, for an attach rate of more than 100 percent. This may be attributed to people who purchased both a limited edition of the game to collect and a second version to play.

This was all enough to make The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild the fastest-selling Nintendo launch game of all time, as well as the fastest-selling game ever in The Legend of Zelda series.

“Nintendo always strives to offer consumers something fun, new and different,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America’s President and COO. “With its various play modes and the innovative features of the Joy-Con controllers, Nintendo Switch provides unique experiences that people can take with them anywhere and share with anyone.”

While Nintendo Switch sales are off to a record-breaking start, shipments have not yet been able to keep up with such high demand. Nintendo is working to make sure everyone who wants a system is able to buy one, and more systems are continually being shipped. In just over two weeks, the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game will launch for Nintendo Switch on April 28 with more content than any other Mario Kart game in series history, including 48 racing tracks, new Battle modes, new characters and other additions. Competition on Nintendo Switch gets even hotter heading into summer, with the release of the ARMS game on June 16 and the Splatoon 2 game on July 21.

A full accounting of worldwide Nintendo Switch sales, as well as other financial information, will be provided on April 27, when Nintendo issues its fiscal-year earnings release.
