Great video. Stupidity excited. Was gonna buy a ps4, but I think I'll just hold off for this.

I really wanted an Xbox One S but I want a console thats more geared towards multiplayer with friends in the same room so I am holding out for this. Putting aside money as well for a good package on release. Console, couple of pro pads, games etc...going to be great

Switch needs a new Jet Set Radio with touch graffiti. If done well, that would have me sold

As I've said before, PC and Nintendo is the dream setup.

I'll be going all out for the switch release I think, with whatever their best package is and at least one pro pad.

Only 4 painful months until release!

That really soon!

This will be perfect to own when I have my first child.

Well its 63 days until we have the Nintendo conference on it.

And if it got released on say Mar10 then its 57 days between that and the console conference.

Breaks it up quite nicely. Will be here before we know it!

Yea. Just hope Zelda is a release title. It is the main game I want to play.

I reckon that is pretty much a guarantee.

If that's the case, I'm in.

The WiiU version of Zelda is already finished, they are just delaying its release for the Switch. It's a guaranteed release title.

VTR · 10 Nov 2016 at 20:11

Not sure if I should sell my WiiU or not, I've got 3 Pro controllers with it and Mario 3D world plus MK8, how much is it worth? Will the Pro controllers work with the Switch?

Will be getting a switch on release either way

I'm not so convinced we'll see Zelda at launch. If it doesn't release with the console it probably won't be too far behind though.

How are we feeling about that new Mario game footage...

Looks like the traditional 3d mario camera is back!.

Kreeeee · 10 Nov 2016 at 20:45

Well Zelda is finished, so any delay would purely be for timing on Nintendo's part.

That's all I want. Bigger levels you can explore and player controlled camera.

Standard Nintendo fanism, means it'll probably never lose value.

Depends how they do the Wii U catalogue, I'll keep mine as I still have too many games to complete.

It was once believed that the Nintendo Switch price would “be cheaper than even the vast majority expect,” with Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima adding that the home gaming system would not be sold at a loss.

Now, Let’s Play Video Games reports that GAME will plan to sell Nintendo Switch at £199.99 in the United Kingdom.

That’s according to two sources, who say that the specialist retailer has been notified of the wholesale price to retailers and that there will be separate SKUs for consumers to choose between. The basic SKU will be priced at £199.99, whereas a second SKU at £249.99 will include more internal storage and a bundled game. Meanwhile, Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers are expected to sell at £39.99.

Nintendo is limited in that they can only suggest a recommended retail price in Europe, with retailers left to choose how to price the hardware in competing to make their own profit.

It is believed that Nintendo Switch there will be near direct price conversion worldwide, which will apparently tie to Nintendo’s push toward the console being region free.

Would be amazing if it's true. But seems a little cheap.

Begbie · 14 Nov 2016 at 13:52

Hmm, would be nice as it would increase intrest to the masses.

£300 with top package and pro pad seems nice too

steinooo · 14 Nov 2016 at 13:56

I am not surprised by this rough price and can't understand why some on this thread seemed to think it was going to be "at least £300"

Phate · 14 Nov 2016 at 13:58

I wonder how well it will fare with the EUR conversion
