[jmizzal]

She's gonna reveal the launch line-up next, isn't she?

I want some 3rd party game leaks, all we have is BG&E 2, and stuff from unreliable people

 

[Da-Kid]

Imagine if they make crossplay for MHXX with the NS and 3DS and cross platform multiplayer.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Hyrule is Ireland confirmed!

 

[balgajo]

I just hope that BOTW Wii U version will come in the same day as NX. Fuck Nintendo if they do the same thing they did with TP Wii and GC versions knowing that's the only real Zelda for Wii U and a game that people bought a Wii U for.

Some people bought PS3 for The Last Guardian.

 

[Herb Alpert]

If there is a Switch mhxx switch port, I hope i'll be able to transfer my mhx save. I'll pass otherwise, don't feel the envy to play those 120 hours again..

 

[Snarfington]

Hell, PS4 Pro is going to be the third console I buy with the intention of playing TLG on it.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Hope MH XX will be a launch game in the west too. Zelda BotW, Skyrim and Monster Hunter XX - i would be good for the whole year lol.

I just hope that BOTW Wii U version will come in the same day as NX. Fuck Nintendo if they do the same thing they did with TP Wii and GC versions knowing that's the only real Zelda for Wii U and a game that people bought a Wii U for.

Be happy that you are still getting it lol.

 

[TLZ]

Thanks to this thread I now know that at least 50% of GAF was born on or around March 17th.

Seriously WTF.

NEWS?!!?!?

As always it's worth remembering that Take-Two doesn't mean Rockstar. People learned that the hard way last E3 when TT said they'd be at E3 in a big way and some took that to mean that RDR2 would be there. Instead it meant that they built a massive Mafia 3 booth.

 

[Hermii]

This is the day my daughter is supposed to be born...

Sorry Nintendo but you're going to have to wait a little while. Good thing is my birthday is the 26th so maybe I'll get a nice present. Doubt I'll get much time to game but that's not a priority over my daughter.

You shouldn't let important life events like the launch of a new Nintendo console be ruined by something trivial like that.

 

[KingSnake]

PS: That basketball game is not necessarily NBA 2K, at the end of the trailer, only NBA's copyright was shown. No 2k or anything. It could be NBA Live or even someone else's (Nİntendo?) baskeball game.

I think you saw the quote from Take-Two meanwhile.

Carnival Games is back bitches

Carnival Games? Switch VR confirmed.

 

[Yukinari]

The launch day lineup is what makes or breaks this. Price isnt an issue if the games they got are worth camping out for.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

My birthday is in 2017. Excellent timing.

 

[Roo]

The launch day lineup is what makes or breaks this. Price isnt an issue if the games they got are worth camping out for.

At the end of the day, it's all about the games but a competitive price also plays a huge role.

Even if Switch has the best launch lineup ever seen, a high price point may scare people away.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we see different bundles with different storage size, accesories and games that go from $250 to $300. Even $350 if they feel too cocky.
Sell your product to different target audiences so everyone is free to chose whatever bundle fits their needs the best.

 

[Peterc]

I've preorder the switch @ gamemania.
So i hope i'll have it day one. I couldn't preorder zelda yet, because they doesn't have any information yet if it will be released at launch.
This shop will receive 50 switches.

 

[Shiggy]

My birthday is in 2017. Excellent timing.

Mine too, what a coincidence!

 

[MCN]

Damn this chick is leaking the shit out of this thing.

I trust her more than I trust my own family by now!

Some people bought PS3 for The Last Guardian.

And the lesson to be learned here is "Never buy a console specifically for a game, until that game is actually released." You'd think it would be common sense, but apparently not.

 

[SpookyBlackFish]

Tomorrow I will mark the calendar at work with a day off for the 17th of March.

I really doubt that they really already know how many units they'll receive.

 

[marmoka]

17th is Friday!!! This is awesome!!! That will be a glorious weekend!!!

If they convince me with the games of course...

If they don't, it will still be glorious, because I will play Zelda on my Wii U anyway.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Real shocker for MH gaf

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Wasnt the 3DS launched on 17th March too?

Somehow 17th March is stuck in my mind...though I cant remember why...

 

[Mokujin]

Monster Hunter XX launches on March 18th.

Coincidence?

Man, that would put Switch release on super-turbo mode in japan.

 

[Spiritwalker]

My birthday is in 2017. Excellent timing.

Wow, now that you mention it.. so is mine!

 

[Retrobox]

Sounds about right. Every single day of waiting in March will be extremely painful though.
At least now you can distract yourself with non-Switch things until the year's over.

 

[takriel]

So Zelda on March 17th as well?

Spoiler

Haha nope. November 2017. If we're lucky.

 

[orient]

On my birthday I am happy about this. Haven't been this hyped for a console since I was young enough to be excited about my birthday so this is perfect.

 

[BY2K]

So Zelda on March 17th as well?

Spoiler

Haha nope. November 2017. If we're lucky.

Zelda is a launch title.

 

[Yoshi]

St. Patrick's Day- I will be in the pub!

Playing your new Switch with your friends and fiends?

Mine too, what a coincidence!

Sadly, no launch-Sonic game is announced yet, though .

 

[KingSnake]

If Zelda is not a launch title for Switch, Nintendo would have failed.

Their E3 was mostly about Zelda. Their social media accounts spammed the hell out of Zelda until Pokemon came into spotlight.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

If Zelda is not a launch title for Switch, Nintendo would have failed.

Their E3 was mostly about Zelda. Their social media accounts spammed the hell out of Zelda until Pokemon came into spotlight.

Not only that, the very first game shown in the Switch reveal trailer is Zelda. Nintendo is clearly positioning it as the premiere title for the system and its "console gaming at home or on the go" concept.

And the game has been delayed out of two full calendar years already.

I love Nintendo, but if they can't manage to make Breath of the Wild a Switch day-one title, they're a complete joke.

Fortunately, I don't see it missing launch.

 

[LordKano]

If Zelda was complete enough to be playable back in E3, then it's safe to assume the game's pretty much done.

 

[KingSnake]

Fortunately, I don't see it missing launch.

Neither do I.

 

[linkandzelda]

Zelda is a launch title.

Was that confirmed? Last I heard Zelda was "2017" while Switch was "March 2017".

 

[18-Volt]

I expect nothing of significance like some old port at full price while the other systems get a sequel or something.

"Some old port" could mean only one thing: XCOM 2 and that's mighty fine by me. Playing XCOM 1 on the go on Vita was amazing but XCOM 2. It will be glorious on Switch.

 

[Prisoner KSC2-303]

I always assume Nintendo will screw up somehow, and even I think Zelda will be a launch title.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I always assume Nintendo will screw up somehow, and even I think Zelda will be a launch title.

I would assume they're not going to screw it up.

 

[Prisoner KSC2-303]

I would assume they're not going to screw it up.

Screw what up? Zelda for launch? I agree.

Switch as a whole? I'll reserve judgement.

 

[Shiggy]

Sadly, no launch-Sonic game is announced yet, though .

That's not really a shame. In fact, it automatically increases the average quality of the entire launch lineup by 10000% if it stays this way. At the same time, you might argue that people should have the choice to buy shovelware if they want to.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Just gimme Zelda as a launch title. TP made the wii launch line up not terrible.

 

[Hermii]

If Zelda was complete enough to be playable back in E3, then it's safe to assume the game's pretty much done.

Not really. The first area was pretty much done, but its a very large game and they could probably polish it forever.

 

[Xater]

MHXX on the switch would be a bummer for me, unless they do a ton of work to it. That shit looks old.

 

[MDave]

I might be in the US when they launch in the UK, but if they release in the US about the same time I hope its region free! I might not be able to handle the wait back hah, I come back to the UK on the 28th.

 

[BY2K]

Considering that the second delay was most likely purely with the goal to have it as a launch title and not because of development issues, the game is most likely done by now and they're only doing polish.

It's an almost exact repeat of Twilight Princess.

 

[hemo memo]

Wait we don't know this already? I swear I read something like March release before.

 

[maxcriden]

Wait we don't know this already? I swear I read something like March release before.

March is confirmed by Nintendo, they just haven't announced a specific day.

 

[ASIS]

It's an almost exact repeat of Twilight Princess.

The game was done since July. It's been in the polishing phase for quite a while.

[-shadow-]

she just tweeted that she's still hearing its region free

cheesemeister you did it!

The entire Miiverse community did it. A couple of amazing drawing back in 2013 when the first campaign started!
