If a gross tasting cartridge is the deal breaker, let's be honest here, buying this bundle was never in the cards to begin with.

You'd be surprised. A lot of gamers have a staunch no digital policy because non-physical = I don't "own" it.

 

[UberTag]

Japan is getting the case and Joy-Cons separately, just as they did the Splatoon ones..

Looks like I'm importing another set of Joy-cons because NoA refuses to bring the bundled ones over separately.

Suits me fine. My green and pink Splatoon 2 Joy-cons are sexy as fuck. Gotta catch 'em all!
(Actually, I still haven't gotten around to buying the mass-produced default grey ones yet. Perhaps I'll feel compelled to at some point.)

That's pretty dumb tbh. Tinfoil hat status. If you lose your Switch, the games stay tied to your account.

Are people that mad they can't get pennies on the dollar a year later at gamestop?

"But Nintendo can ban your account and take your games away!"

 

[D.Lo]

No they didn't...at all. People need to stop the switch hyperbole.

Haha I love it how you turn up in all these Switch threads just to shit on it. I just can't fathom what could drive someone to do that, why not just stay out of threads about something you hate?

Thanks for the info.

Best Buy got stock. Walmart has both bundles and regular. GameStop where I'm at (central Wisconsin) has reggies as well. I'll give you amazon... but no where near unavailable to people like you suggested.

Best buy doesnt have stock if you click on it, and there are none available at stores nearby. Walmart doesn't have the console by itself either. Again if you click on it then it takes you right to forcing you to buy other stuff to get it. For something thats not sold out I sure am having a hard time finding a regular grey switch console.

Mother 3 Joy-Cons

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Anyone who follows me on Twitter will know I have waited a long time for this day. I purposely held off on buying a Switch day one because i knew this bundle would happen.

So many kept telling me there's no chance.

 

[gnomed]

That's a sexy shade of red.

 

[Champion]

Those fire red joy-cons look great.

 

[Owari]

"But Nintendo can ban your account and take your games away!"

Hahahahaha wow

No one actually thinks this, do they?

 

[10k]

I was waiting for non neon colors. That shade of red is perfect.

 

[Zen Aku]

Is there an efficient way of importing those joycons to the US?

 

[Dead Prince]

This is like never going to be the case for bundles of any system now

Destiny 2 says hi
Oh you mean Nintendo system

Nintendo games go for a good price on the second hand market. I returned a Switch after having it almost a month although I'm looking at getting another in a few months possibly. Luckily I got most of my money back on the physical carts. If I went digital I would have been out of luck.

you can check the japan version`s package,
the set includes sticker

So.. in NYC ..u know taking the train and stuff. I have not seen anyone with a switch in public.

Well I seen em with my own eyes today. Online probably only pulls up local stuff. But there out there man. Don't know what else to say

403 Forbidden error

Edit: worked on my phone, don't know why it was giving me an error on me PC.

I wish there was a picture of the red joycons on the Switch in handheld mode. I don't like how it looks on the grip (and I never use it), don't care for the straps either. I wanna see how they look attached to the tablet.

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Those are the color red I've wanted since day one. Will definitely be getting those, whether it be import or otherwise.

 

[Mass Effect]

I think this is how I'm going to jump on the Switch bandwagon. I was looking for a good opportunity, and this is it.

 

[NeoZeedeater]

Hopefully they will price this fairly in Canada and not way worse than the actual exchange rate like they do currently.

 

[tapedeck]

This bundle might just put me over the edge to break down and buy a Switch. I like the red a lot too.

[random25]

But I already have the Splatoon 2 joycons already...

Red looks rad.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

You'd be surprised. A lot of gamers have a staunch no digital policy because non-physical = I don't "own" it.

I can lose my console and my games will still be there when I get a new one.

I can lose a cartridge and... I wouldn't have the game anymore.

 

[Caelus]

Ok? I have.

Hoping they sell the joy-con separately at some point, my word, they're fine.

 

[Kastrioti]

Haven't picked up a Switch yet but this is the bundle I'll be getting. Almost picked one up the other day but decided to wait for a bundle like this. I'd much prefer to have a physical copy but I'll manage.

 

[ironmang]

That's pretty dumb tbh. Tinfoil hat status. If you lose your Switch, the games stay tied to your account.

Are people that mad they can't get pennies on the dollar a year later at gamestop?

How is it tinfoil status that someone actually wants a physical object?

And no, they don't sell for "pennies on the dollar" lulz. I sold my Bayonetta 1+2 for $40, MK8 and Smash for $30, and a handful of other games around $15-20 when I got rid of my WiiU earlier this year. If I had bought those digital I would have gotten $0.

There are dozens of us.

 

[TeamLeftMatch]

Oh man, I'm so excited for this bundle might actually get the switch with this *sees price* oh that's expensive, and that's just in dollars I don't want to see the UK price for it.

Question for switch owners. If you have a digital game, are you able to transfer it to another SD card or is it locked to 1.

 

[Poona]

Aussie bundle has no red joy cons or carry case but it does come with a physical copy of mario

Can't win m8

Huh? It has the red joy cons here:

http://www.nintendo.com.au/nintendo...es-coming-to-nintendo-switch-and-nintendo-3ds

Anyway, not sure these joycons are all that great. They should be red and blue with yellow buttons or something like that instead of just red.

 

[WeirdoStalkerJr]

When can we pre-order and ho long should we expect stock to last? Might it be worth it to wait until holiday? I mean, Nintendo did say more stock is on the way. But is it gonna be enough?

 

[Haunted]

Don't like the joy-con colour, but that case design is ace.

Thanks. It looks beautiful. I always liked black and red together.

 

[JustSomeone]

A bundle that costs more than the system + game? Meh

 

[Neoxon]

A bundle that costs more than the system + game? Meh

A carrying case is also included.

 

[D.Lo]

Huh? It has the red joy cons here:

I'm guessing they mis-read Vooks news item, which described it as coming with 'not-neon red Joy-Cons'. Aka the joycons are red, but not neon red.

 

[ScaryShark]

Will this actually be up for pre-order? It's a killer Christmas gift but I don't know if I'm going to be at a computer every night at 4 am this week and next.

 

[Lucreto]

Looks like a good bundle but I was hoping they would announce their achievement system so I will continue to wait.

Are physical games really so important in this age of patches and DLCs?

I think resale value is a big part of it.

I loved digital download last generation, I wanted everything digital... But then I decided to sell all my older games (N64, GC, PS2, etc) and was amazed at how much they sold for, and it opened my eyes to the lasting resale value of physical games, especially Nintendo ones.

And now I feel like I'm throwing money away if I buy a digital game that's available on cart. Although with the Switch and lack of install option, the convenience of a digital library is a big draw, so I'm still conflicted... So far I only have Zelda physical, but I'd like Mario physical too, and Doom, and Skyrim... and

 

[Owensboro]

They are if you like using your old games to help you buy new ones, especially since Nintendo games hold their value so well. Hell, Mario 3D Land still sells for $9 to GameStop, and you can get more selling yourself.

Not having physical doesn't bother me, but I understand wanting to only buy them. 3 of my Switch games have already funded future purchases

 

[Lucreto]

Are physical games really so important in this age of patches and DLCs?

For me it's still cheaper to buy physical games than digital and I get to share with friends and family.

 

[seady]

Someone pls do a comparison image of the original joycon red with this new red.

 

[Pila]

Will the carrying case release separately?

I still don't have a case and I want this one. Pretty please sell it separately...

edit: missed the info about Japan, thanks for sharing.

 

[RoodyPooUS]

Too bad no physical game, would have been interested since I love the color.

 

[Always-honest]

Digital download = pass.

 

[Vampirolol]

Why does this cost so much? Making someone pay more for the Joycon colors doesn't make sense to me...
