*** Nintendo Switch ***

[Perfect_Chaos]

Anyone else think the Switch would fly off the shelves if it had the media playing & streaming capabilities of the Shield? Seems a bit of a missed opportunity IMO, since it probably won't.

Wish it had next gen Tegra tbh. As much as I'm sure the games will be great I'd like some cool new tech inside.

Who gives a **** about shield? I want a great Nintendo console with great Nintendo games.

As long as they don't shove silly gimmicks into the games like the forced motion controls in Star Fox Zero, then fine. I'm just worried about the lack of titles it will get, the Wii U really struggled there.

Third party support will likely dry up in a short time i think, so Nintendo really need to push first party titles out at a quick pace. I'd like to see new games though or older nes/snes games brought back, not the usual rehashes.

Is it right that its available to pre-order at 6, since it says 07:00 BST for some reason?

I'm going to bed soon to get up at 4 in the morning!

Eurogamer are saying 6am. Any other console, I'd be in no rush to preorder. The fact they are even mentioning a preorder time(unless this happens for any new console?) Is making me wonder if their is a limited amount for launch....Oh continued reading:

Quantities will be limited, however. “Due to limited stock we are only able to offer one unit per customer per address,” Amazon noted. “We will be fulfilling customer orders in the order in which they were placed.”

Man, I'm gonna need to set my alarm earlier! Haha.

Do Amazon take the full amount of you when you pre order?

No, they don't charge till just before dispatch.

I thought I read months ago that Nintendo were ramping up production to ensure there would be no stock shortages at launch?

Guess it depends on the demand now..

I suspect if switch doesnt fly off the shelves many of those great nintendo games will end up on shield/android.

Hmmm, I'm thinking I'd better set my alarm for 6am. Worst case scenario I have to wait an hour which at least gives me a chance to watch the presntation first before ordering!

Time for bed I think....

Isn't this gonna air at like 4am in the UK? I'll see the highlights at 5:30

[Jae-So]

[kinger8938]

Having recently bought a PS4 pro to replace the nippers old WII I dont think power will matter too much for the target market. If it wasnt for rayman legends and minecraft the PS wouldnt get any use.
