Can't wait for that Bayonetta 3 announcement

 

[DeuceGamer]

Coming in November, $249 or $299. Calling it now.

November? They just told investors they would ship 2 million by the end of March.

 

[Bsigg12]

soon

Was just about to ask for this. I'll see you guys next year!

 

[ladyluthien]

So loooong away but at least it'll be at the beginning of 2017!

 

[random25]

This should be longer than 3 minutes. :3
Still a long way to go.

It's a press conference sort of so expect it to be lengthy.

 

[Angry Chair]

They are cutting it kinda close, no? I mean its coming out in March. I fear its going to get delayed until 2017 holiday.

It's not getting an 8 month delay.

 

[outunderthestars]

The Facebook page says it'll take place in Tokyo. Proper conference?

My guess: Live feed from Japan, with immediate hands on for journalists in New York, London, and Tokyo.

 

[Sterok]

At least we didn't have to wait long for a date this time.

 

[brochiller]

Just a little over two months guys!

 

[R0ckman]

thank god I program so I can preorder this thing at work.

 

[Camp1nCarl]

Yeah buddy. Let's goooooo Nintendo

 

[sleepwalkcapsules]

Weird that they're doing a conference second but did a commercial first (longer than a commercial but that's what that video basically was)

After the WiiU fiasco, I think preparing and planning the short video we've seen to show EXACTLY what the Switch is about was the right choice.

Now everyone is sure what it is, so the live presentation can be about the games and the system in general.

 

[Vyse24]

I'm guessing it'll be like those Treehouse Live presentations. Hopefully we'll still have a Direct before then to show the 3DS and Wii U stuff coming out soon.

 

[Maxinas]

Well better than having absolutely no news for the next 2 months. Don't disappoint.

 

[robotrock]

oh shit didn't expect to see a date this soon

Bayonetta 3 please

 

[Nanashrew]

nvm

Anyway, hype!

 

[sanstesy]

soon

xD

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Coming in November, $249 or $299. Calling it now.

Some of you are straight-up crazy with this nonsense. It was reinforced again in Nintendo's financials that it's launching in March.

 

[Portugeezer]

More details

Fuck yeah.

 

[kuroneko0509]

hopefully the timing will be good for me hah
edit: from Tokyo? welp time to take a day off

 

[Thoraxes]

Live?

Looking forward to seeing some games in action then!

We will more than likely be getting price, launch day, launch lineup, and retailer pre-orders then too... given the proximity to the launch month.

I'm glad it's a concrete date too, instead of some nebulous guessing and constant "insider" rumors.

 

[MattKeil]

November? They just told investors they would ship 2 million by the end of March.

And they told them they'd ship Zelda in 2016. Things change.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Some of you are straight-up crazy with this nonsense. It was reinforced again in Nintendo's financials that it's launching in March.

Some of you are very naive about how business works. A delay is entirely possible, so steel yourself for the possibility.

 

[digita1alchemy]

Damn, this is one day before my wife's due date. It would suck to have to miss the birth of my son, but when he gets older and I tell him the story over a game of Smash Bros. 7, he'll understand.

 

[munchie64]

soon

Better get ready now!

 

[Salty Rice]

BOOM.

But its October. Fuck.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Here we go boys!

 

[DriftingSpirit]

More details

Good.

 

[friskykillface]

😨😄😏😀😍😄😎

Hype , feels so far away though

 

[antonz]

Be interesting to see how this goes. Having a livestream event should be fun. Live from Japan is interesting. Guessing Evening Pacific time so its Morning in Tokyo

 

[DNAbro]

Excited but that's pretty far away. At least we know when to expect new news.

 

[aesinv]

It's crazy to think that aside from what we already know we more than likely won't know anything other concrete details until two months before the console is supposed to launch. Then again, they seem to have been doing a good job at hyping and maintaining the hype for Sun & Moon in a relatively short time, so they must be pretty confident in their marketing plan.

 

[JimJamJones]

soon

 

[Always-honest]

Okay... we have a date

 

[Dark Cloud]

nvm

Anyway, hype!

Yes!!!!! Omg yes

They're doing a livestream to!

 

[Zeeman]

I'm assuming this thread will have gone through 5 iterations and never have fallen off the front page by that time

 

[Chase17]

Glad we have a date.

 

[Shadowlink]

Awesome! Definitely requesting the day off for this.

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

Lets go.

 

[gate stormer]

Hell yeah! Gonna definitely request that day off work when I can. In addition to whenever the launch date is. I'm assuming launch will be on a Friday. I am off work on Sundays and Mondays, so having off that launch day, Saturday and 2 more days will be glorious.

 

[Maxinas]

soon

 

[VolticArchangel]

HYPE. Now where is Reggie when you need him...

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Some of you are very naive about how business works. A delay is entirely possible, so steel yourself for the possibility.

No, trust me, you're the one who's naive. This is a hardware launch. This is not a software launch. Nintendo has now stated Switch launches in March 2017 on four separate occasions.

Christ.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Januray 12th - The Day that Snake comes back

 

[friskykillface]

If Switch gets delayed along with Zelda I'll be so bummed x pissed

March or I ain't buying that game day 1

 

[wildfire]

Ok we get it. The Wii U needs holiday money.


Thanks for giving us a firm date. Now where is my Egg Nog?

 

[eyesradar]

time to pre-order

 

[Smashman45]

Welp, here we go. Least we have a date.

 

[Da Fro]

Awesome! Definitely requesting the day off for this.

I was just thinking the same thing lol
Worth taking the day off for.

 

[AuthenticM]

I'm so fucking ready.

 

[gate stormer]

BOOM.

But its October. Fuck.

After Monday, October will be over with.
