Not gonna lie, but some of the jokes and memes following Arms's reveal are pretty funny.:laugh:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

That transformation does have an anime-vibe to it when put with the context of that message.

There's even an Arms joke that features Jojo.

Oh.

I just found out the SMT5 teaser had Mara in it.

I guess that's what "age sensitive" content was referring to... LOL

My hype for the Switch has completely died out after seeing the price and looking more into the whole paid online thing.


I'm so disappointed :/
The lack of launch window games and overall lack of exclusives didn't do it for you? Not to mention Suda51 translator?

Or was that just me?

Why is it that things in other countries are so gosh darn expensive?

Almost didn't make it there... though I suspect analog triggers, VC, and exclusive BotW features will be revealed soon.

Importing, taxes, currency conversion, more taxes and a tax the retailer can make to gain more.
I got used to it tbh.

To be fair, it seems while the other speakers spoke from a script, the speaker for Suda51 went improv, which makes the task of translating the much harder.

Suda51 is a wacky and funny dude which makes the translator thing more disappointing. But yeah it's not really his fault.

Plus we're getting NMH3 anyway.

Maaaaaan the honeymoon period for this wearing off is gonna sting since reception was 80% negative already. I expect it to be 99% negative by morning.

Meanwhile I'm the one person who gets more OK with what they're looking at instead of less over time, so I'm going to be alone as usual and listening to Nintendo crash in slow motion.

Presentation was a trainwreck but we've still got Treehouse to go and there's a whole lot of leaks still in the oven. I hope Ninty's sped up PR crew knows how to work, they're gonna need to. Best case scenario the high price lets me get a preorder and then they drop it through the floor in a few months profits be darned, I knew listening to it was going to be a nightmare even without Nintendo joining the nickel and dime club.

Who knows? :3
I am honestly questioning whether or not Nintendo Treehouse will reveal any new games for us tomorrow that we haven't already seen. What do you guys think? Apparently, they have revealed new stuff in the past, so I suppose its not impossible.

I probably asked this before, but since this thread has calmed down, I wanted to ask again.

They probably won't, but it could always happen.

We got 7 weeks till it comes out so I'll be shocked if NO games get announced.

Just don't expect anything major.

The game boxes look nice though.





Lol 1 2 Switch. Just stahp.
Nintendo, please save the Switch from the brink. Coricus needs her a Kid Icarus game with a cover that has that kind of care to it. Or heck, even just other games in general.

Nintendo stay in the console business. ;-;

Shipping might make the price jump up close to the base price we have here in Australia though.

It's kind of difficult really, the only time I can possibly get the Switch that isn't at Christmas this year is pre-ordering it.

I dunno what to do.
Christmas could be a good bet because holiday sales and bundles and also that monster of a Mario game.

AU$189.95 for BotW Master Edition.

I'll stick to the normal edition thanks. Just wish there was a BotW bundle.

AU$470 for the Switch. I payed that much recently for a PS4 WITH games.

This Neogaf?

Cause honestly, Reddit which was so positive before did not like the presentation.

Oh boy, negative reception over the price of a new console that's portable.

Meanwhile, I'll be at GameStop tomorrow morning for the preorder. Can't wait for many of the games coming out on it. BotW will keep me busy, and Bomberman also come out in March so that's 2 games for me. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will follow in April.

So much hype in that stream. The new Mario looks awesome and I like the look of FE Warriors.

Though I'm not fond of Nintendo restricting their new Mario Kart 8 content. Reminder that everyone hyped for that new content has to buy a new console for the right to actually use it.

There's no initiative to buy the the new one if everything just comes out in the WiiU. Of course this was to be expected. Once again, it looks like they've outdone themselves with the Mario Kart 8 content. Glad to see the Inklings in it too

Oh gosh, I hadn't even checked Reddit yet. I doubt there's any place with any ray of hope right now, though.

Nintendo rammed into the ground hard and I'm scared for their future.

The disadvantage of MSRP is that... is MSRP; Suggested, not Enforced.

Down on the corner, out in the street.
Well that's up to you. :p

Personally I'm fine waiting for it with the Switch because I dislike it's performance on the Wii U.
I can see that.

The only problem is, if I do get the Switch, what am I going to play? It'll end up sitting there collecting dust for months until I can get a game for it; especially since I can't get both the Switch AND Zelda.

I kinda wish there was a place in Australia where I could buy **** like the Switch cheap, somehow >_>

You shouldn't act like it's a good thing for Nintendo to arbitrarily restrict content to ports. Otherwise, Nintendo will know people are happy with that and do it more.
