DarhkFox Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Has anyone heard back from Nintendo regarding the switch launch event? Leaving it pretty late if they haven't sent out emails. Starting to run out of time to book a day off .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just pointing out it's a lot more work than you'd think. But again; what is the reason for the same delay in Japan then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still nothing, some people saying they got an email almost immediately after registering but seems like a lot of people haven't got any email confirmation as things stand.

Sounds more like rushing it for the US launch rather than delaying it for EU/JP. Which would probably be more worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there's no need when I can follow this thread and wait for you to tell us that it's time to go Bart Smitting. 13 minutes ago, Napole0n said: Real men shop at Mediamarkt They're usually not the cheapest though. Besides, there's a Bart Smit within walking distance where I live. Usually I just pick stuff up there when grocery shopping at the Albert Heijn next door. 8 minutes ago, VN1X said: We don't have one here.

I loved how promising the Free Record Shop sounded to British people hearing about it. In reality it should have been called "Most Expensive Record Shop" to avoid allegations of false advertising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Mediamarkt is usually cheaper than Bart Smit or Intertoys and they always match prices when not. They have loads of stock too and they're closer to me than any other shop selling consoles or games. Still, for proper ripoff pricing there's always GameMania.

Mr. Gerbik Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I never understood how GameMania is able to survive this long and why people continue shopping there. It's like the 'Game' of the Netherlands and Belgium - all the fun horror stories in the Game thread here usually apply to GameMania too. Albert Heijn actually started selling games for a bit a while back. I mean, other than budget casual PC games for the elderly. Proper console games. They had Call of Duty lying next to the Smints and Snickers near the checkout, but I guess it wasn't profitable for Mr Heijn because they stopped doing that pretty quickly.

Liamness Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'd be surprised if Super Mario was a launch title. We don't even know the name of it yet, right? 6 months from hearing about it for the first time to actually being able to buy it seems... unlikely. It's Nintendo we're talking about here. They'll have to launch the console with something big if they want it to hit the ground running; I for one will wait until the Mario or Zelda title is available before plonking down any cash, although I never had a Wii U and barely touched my 3DS so I expect to be grateful for any ports that come my way too.

Mr. Gerbik Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 No Mario or Zelda at launch, no sale. I can't imagine Nintendo launching the Switch without a new Mario or Zelda, but if they do then I will please understand and buy my Switch later. Stop rekking everybody's dreams VN1X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
