You all need to calm the fuck down and just wait. It's not going to be $300, and there's no such thing as a "Nintendo tax." And online will be free forever.

The usual $100 Nintendo tax.

If you legitimately believe that Nintendo is aiming for a 33% profit margin, something is wrong with your ability to use logic.

Finally. GameXplain put up their predictions.

Speaking of which, I shared this before, but I and RK128 as well as another friend recorded our own predictions:

Anyone like the podcasts I record? I almost never get any feedback.

 

[NateDrake]

Also found on brickseek for target two game placeholders. One shows N.A. on price and other shows 59.99 for price.

What were the skus on brickseek for them?

 

[Baleoce]

Feeling pretty good about my bingo card!

I would love most if not all of this xD

 

[NSESN]

Managed to finish SMT apocalypse some hours ago, then the time stareted to get slower

I saw Aonuma in the NWS in NYC (it was already closed) about an hour ago. He checked a couple of people playing some games in the lower floor and then climbed the stairs faster than I was able to take my phone out to snag a pic. The second floor window by the big screen side was curtained off and I could barely make out some guys with a camera. They're shooting something there tonight, and since Aonuma is already here, I wouldn't be surprised if Zelda is playable on the switch from the 12th til 15th and he'll be there roaming around.

I'll watch your video later and let you know. I like watching prediction videos to see what people come up with.

I have to say one thing, Ash seems cool, but has a habit of posing a lot of unverified information as fact.

1. Two consecutive podcasts where he states that Pikmin 3DS is developed by Arzest.

2. Claiming that the Mother 3 developer is going to the Switch unveil, so that corroborates Mother 3.

There's no disclaimers or context given which would make any of these statements veritably true.

Idk why Ash does that. I've heard others mention the Mother devs being there means Mother 3 is a go.

By the time we finish their analysis it'll be time for the presentation.

Lol for real. I just like how long their discussions are.

That's interesting. I just figured he would be in Tokyo right now.

I wonder if some major press outlets are there as well to get their first hands-on with the Switch.

Lol Mucho Malo is back. Dude I was making fun of someone earlier who said "Nintendo charging $50 tax" when it was discussed the Switch would be $250.

I was just playing off of it and joking around. Relax.

 

[Branduil]

I don't currently have a way to watch Netflix on my TV so that would be nice. Considering it's on essentially everything there's no good reason not to have it fairly quickly.

Thanks, really appreciate it!

 

[antonz]

Aonuma in New York really is an interesting tidbit. Filming some Regional Specific stuff perhaps. Cannot imagine they are going to rush him on a Jet back to Tokyo for the event. I mean its already Noon on the 11th in japan. 14 hours to fly NY to Tokyo

 

[messiaen]

Wait. Why are people saying March 17 as release?

Nintendo release in NA on Sundays... 3DS is the only system to release in Japan before US in recent history.

Nintendo hasn't released a product on Sundays in NA for years. They release almost everything on Fridays.

Not anymore. Nintendo days are Fridays for a long time already.

you must be fun at parties

 

[Gaspard]

I really do too. It's great background listening for when I'm entering data.

 

[Hip Hop]

What are you guys thinking of doing for a launch purchase.

Of course, depends on what games are announced but.

one game, a couple of games, anything you can get your hands on, no games at all but just the console?

 

[Poketune]

In all fairness, it's hard to tell when people are joking or being serious when it comes to Nintendo.

Aonuma always seems to be in a hurry, so maybe they do make him fly around the world all the time.

 

[Nairume]

Console plus Zelda at minimum. Probably also Skyrim, Mario, and Splatoon depending on price and if they are actually at launch. Maybe more depending.

Can't answer that without knowing the lineup.

Not anymore. Nintendo days are Fridays for a long time already.

Every Nintendo home console has released on a Sunday as well as handhelds in NA. Only games come out on a Friday.

 

[friskykillface]

maybe Nintendo will sell consoles and games at pax east of its releasing in March 👀🤔

I'm sure he can get there in good time, all he needs is to ride his Epona Harley Horse and he'll be there in record time!

check the new 3ds xl in north america it was a friday

Actually skyward sword came out Sunday

Anouma is Santa Clause CONFIRMED.

 

[messiaen]

Ah. I stand corrected.

Bear in mind, last system I bought was a Wii U, which was a Sunday.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

New 3DS XL released on a Friday, which is the only hardware Nintendo has launched since they moved their releases from Sunday to Friday. Unless you want to count the NES Classic as new hardware...which also released on a Friday.

Let me correct my statement. All major new release that isn't a revision.

Nintendo hasn't launched a "major" platform since moving their releases from Sunday to Friday. Back when WiI U launched, all major Nintendo products (software and hardware) launched on Sundays.

 

[Lgndryhr]

I'm talking about recent years.

Yea I just checked. I mean major new releases. Not revisions. And NES classic I don't count.

 

[brandonh83]

Actually skyward sword came out Sunday

Yeah, it did. I remember because I almost got hit by a church van on the way to pick it up.

 

[Abilidebob]

So I can get that 250$ is the price most people are expecting. But what about bundled games? You guys think it's going to be 250 + a game or 250 for only the console?

 

[Steve Youngblood]

Let me correct my statement. All major new release that isn't a revision.

That's kind of a weird qualifier given that they shifted all releases to Friday and the only hardware they've released since that shift has also been released on Friday. If there was a significant hardware release that stuck with Sunday you'd have a stronger argument.

 

[Its Quite Toasty]

Yea I just checked. I mean major new releases. Not revisions. And NES classic I don't count.

the last major release was the wii u, maybe those revisions and emulator show a move to friday overall.

 

[Oersted]

So I can get that 250$ is the price most people are expecting. But what about bundled games? You guys think it's going to be 250 + a game or 250 for only the console?

Generally lets wait for Friday, but I expect some retailers to do it and if only for a limited time.

 

[Steve Youngblood]

Yes. The Wii U released on a Sunday. Games also released on Sunday back then. They've since shifted to Friday releases.

 

[Fanuilos]

If it's 250 with a game then the game will probably a minigame collection or port. I can't see them launching a new system with a new game at a $250 price.

 

[Its Quite Toasty]

Yes. The Wii U released on a Sunday. Games also released on Sunday back then. They've since shifted to Friday releases.

thats what im saying. I shouldnt have used maybe when its what they have been doing recently

 

[Diprosalic]

he probably wants to say "via".

No. I know. I was agreeing with you.

Switch itself, Zelda, Pro Controller, and mayyyybe Splatoon. That's out of all the stuff that were rumored so there can be more things I want.
