Nope I'm just saying in regard to age wise I will not be relegated to those stinking whiny annoying millennials to me a millenial is anyone born ON or just after 2000, the cut off is 2010

Does it even matter though? If I'm going to judge people, I'll do it based on their actions and personality, not their birth dates.

( Besides, this discussion is going rather wildly off topic. )

I'm tempted but at the same time cautious. I don't think there's any harm in waiting at all. Maybe I'll pick one up.

I got desktop gaming, and with the switch I can do couch gaming and take it with me while I travel. Seems like a good deal to me. I'll definately need more info.

Time to bump the thread as the hype is growing (or not).

I actually totally forgot about the console until I saw the latest iJustine video popping up in my youtube feed this morning. And when I checked the paper ads of my local supermarkets during my lunch, I also saw the promos for it.

I don't know if it's me but the perceived lack of hype among the common medias/crowds (meaning outside of gamers circles) in less than one week before launch (it's released on 3th March in Belgium) is quite frightening for the financial future of Nintendo. Since I got my PS4 last month and thus getting more interested in its catalog and possibilities, I really have a hard time figuring out how the Switch could appeal to the big crowd against its market rivals..

So, are you already waiting impatiently for next Friday?

I want one but can't justify spending the money on it (particularly as I barely used my Wii U...)

I can probably see myself getting it further down the line, but I seem to be mostly a PC gamer again at the moment so who knows.

TODAY IS D-DAYYYYYY!!!!!! :o)))

Available now in Europe, I'm curious how this launch day will go. I remember the launch of the PS2 in Paris back in the days:

Has anyone already got it yet?

All I remember about launches is dr. Bill shaking hands with this jap dude. He's like "oooh mr. Gato, so strong, your handsu are rike soooo powaful" ;D

Great console, nuff said.

But this handshake is over 9000. Modi is probably like the one punch man of handshakes ;D

....so are they still going to charge $60 for Skyrim?

mmmm, the special edition is currently at 40€ on Steam and less than 30€ for the physical console version on Amazon.fr. So, out of curiosity, where did you get that 60€ price tag?

I got it from Jim Sterling's video on the Switch, but a quick Google check shows that Nintendo is indeed charging $60 USD for Skyrim on Amazon.com.

Hmm... I think it will fail, same as the Wii U because of lack of 3rd party support... and Nintendo failures in addressing proper online features.

It is about TIME for normal accounts, tied purchases, and free or close to free re-download of Virtual Console purchases over the whole "nintendo family"...

I mean by that, totally free versions of the same VC over N platforms or at least the same there was for the Wiishop to Wii U eShop, should be offered for cross-VC purchases over Wii-U, 3DS and now Switch...

I have a Wii U and seeing the comparisons videos of the last Zelda game, i was shocked and worried to get a crappy version for my console... but this latest IGN video comfort me; it will only be slight changes in visuals resolution, not the whole tone of the game changing, apparently as was wrongly suggested by previous videos...

I still have to play my Fatal Frame purchase,and see to buy Xenoblade Chronicles X, last Zelda, Earthbound when 50% deal someday, and maybe Tokyo Mirage if the price is right.. But the Switch, i am not hyped to get one and don't hold high hopes for it; and expect failure if it is, again, mostly a rethread of N tired franchises...

Well, the Switch is selling good. And I do admit I kinda want one... But the thing is, I could just get a second NEW 3ds (Have a NEW xl) for multiplayer and a couple of games without "Download Play". That would put me almost on the $300 for the Switch with no games... But the Switch doesn't have any games I want yet: 2D Mario and Smash are required (even if it is on VC). So far though, Nintendo plans on selling 20 millions in the first year... Maybe if they announce a Pokémon game for Switch on E3?
